I was most excited to see what sweet and savory dish combos people came up with. This time I made sweet and savory hybrid dishes illegal just to ensure we didn't end up with 10 plates of sweet and sour chicken or 18 tubs of chocolate covered pretzels. I also didn't know if anyone would show up and I thought a sweet and savory hybrid dish might deter people because it would require more thought than two separate dishes. Anyway, here's what people brought (in order of arrival):
Me: Mini Croque Monsieurs (no beschamel) + Madeleines
Sam: Bagels + Coke
Haley: Golden Beet Salad (with goat cheese and sesame seeds and junk (kind of a cheat)) + Watermelon
Snugget and Vanessa: Rotisserie Chicken + Assorted Dunking Donuts Munchkins
Gretchen: Sausage Tortellini + Sees Milk Chocolate Molasses Chips
Emily: Chocolate Creme Pie (mishap with the savory dish - no points subtracted)
Trent: Hummus and Crackers + Hint 'O Mint Newman-Os
Brian: BBQ potato chips (also kind of a cheat)
John: Camel Lights + Red Stripe
Adrienne: Onion Tarts + Fruit Tarts
The winner is Adrienne.
Her dishes were the most expertly prepared (homemade pie crust!) and also was the only one with a clear theme. I was really impressed with everyone's effort.
There was tons of activity in the park Saturday. Lots of awesome animal themed kid birthday parties and a game of hipster dodge ball. I think a guy from Blonde Redhead was there, but maybe it was Vincent Gallo. Look at this awesome homemade dinosaur piñata and monkey tent!
Find the dismembered monkey!
Thanks for coming everyone!
Later that night Sam and I made sweet and savory faces to commemorate the picnic.
Sam did this which was funny, but too reminiscent of the DMC Swiss Cake Roll Incident of October 2006 for my taste.
Then we went to Ariel's going away party. I forgot what a fun bar Daddy's is! There was lots of playing with cameras and phones.
Have a great time in brad school, Rel!!
Then this happened.
