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!

Then, there will be, of course, Salade de boeuf, which is made with cooked chicken meat, despite its name.
It's Mum's speciality; she cooks a whole chicken breast with carrots, parsley roots, onions, a piece of celery, seasoned with parsley and salt - regular chicken soup, actually, at least how whe make it.

Then she dices all ingredients, together with boiled potatoes (boiled in the peel, to keep their aroma), boiled eggs and some sour cucumbers. Then she makes mayonnaise (always home-made, never what you get in the supermarket), mixes it with the diced chicken meat, vegetables, etc., and lets it ripe in the fridge overnight.

On the next day, the salad is filled into small, hollowed tomatoes, and the slice removed from the top of the tomato is put back like a little hat. It looks fantastic, and it's absolutely delicious.

French salad, as it is also called, is quite popular in Hungary, but most people put boiled green peas and raw apples into it, which makes it way too sweet. Peas have the tendency to dominate every other taste anyway, so we never use them for the French salad.
