So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

I take the view that with a lot of food, if it isn't obviously foul smelling or mouldy then it's fine, though with chicken or prawns it's more of a problem. We've just finished some overlooked cherries that were dated best before 6 September and they were absolutely fine.

Yes, shellfish and chicken are definitely foods one should be extra careful of; being a vegetarian myself these days, I luckily don't have to bother about those. ;-)

Finding some forgotten cherries sounds a very happy thing to do, when they are still edible. I have had grapes, which I forgot about to the point where they turned into delicious raisins!

I gather it's perfectly possible, and indeed common, to get food poisoning from bought salads, but somehow shellfish always makes me more nervous than other foods. Being vegetarian does have a lot of advantages.

I think there might be another slightly less old batch of forgotten cherries, too -- will have to dig them out.
