Anyone who knows me from med school remembers some of my kick ass parties, including the "Black, White and Red All Over" one and the "Rock the Casbah" themed parties. I fell in love with entertaining and food during med school , probably because I had a little money and even more time on my hands back then. After med school , most of my party planning efforts got channeled into our wedding and a few small dinners since, like cookouts and Thanksgiving. So fast forward to the Kid's first birthday party.
Let me make a disclaimer: I am not one of those people who wants to spend thousands of dollars on a party that the Kid will never remember. If you want examples of people like that, read this article. I have no desire to hire flame throwers, hula dancers or a roasted pig pit for our birthday pseudo-luau. I simply want an excuse to wear a pretty summery dress, drink a mai tai and wear the flowered leis that I missed out on by skipping most frat parties in college.
And I make a killer mai tai...
