Bonne Fete

Well, as you can see, I have my party dress, dancing shoes and pearls all laid out and ready to go.  I am just waiting for you to arrive. 

We have a chandelier for ambiance, a French poodle performing tricks for entertainment, Amelie for the movie, plenty of champagne, olives, tomatoes, fig and olive tapanade, lots of stinky cheese, Italian meat platters, Italian stew, fritatta and for dessert……trifle, homemade Italian cookies, a raspberry tart, French chocolates..and of course espresso!  Sounds like the perfect party to me, with the perfect guests, c’est vrai!

And for me…so many lovely party gifts.  My skin will look like the fountain of youth and I will smell heavenly thanks to all of you!  Angie even thought about Madison, she will enjoy her French bone..  Please forgive her, she will go * belly up* to greet each of you at the door for a tummy rub when you come in.  Yeah, a real ferocious watch dog.

So, now for the big reveal.  According the the Random Number Picker, the winner of the party gift is…. Comment #3. 

Anne in Oxfordshire.  Congratulations Anne!  Your party gift will be on it’s way.  I hope you like to read!!

And a big Thank You, Merci, Grazie, to all of you who made my first blogiversary a very memorable one indeed!

All of this party talk and recipe sharing has made me very hungry…and in the mood for… a party.  So, if you’ll excuse me, it is time for me to slip into my best party dress.  I have guests arriving soon…
