birthday menu

Tomorrow night I start working on jparks' birthday picnic lineup. So far the only things I know I'm making are cupcakes, cupcakes, and more freaking cupcakes. And cheeses. I guess I'm not really making cheeses as much as going to Trader Joe's and handing over cash for them. Same difference.

I'm thinking of also having curried apple couscous, maybe some sandwiches, and uh, I don't know, something else. The problem is that everything I make must be okay cold or room temperature. Lauren suggested a great sounding salad, but it contains tomatoes and jparks does not do tomatoes. I'm honestly kinda out of ideas. But, I haven't really looked through my cookbooks yet, so I may actually have a ton of ideas and I just don't realize it.

Any suggestions?

  1. Instead of tomatoes, try sliced portabello mushroom sauteed in olive oil and a couple of splahses of Worcestershire sauce.

  2. Oh, I forgot my conversion chart:

    1 splahs = 1 splash

  5. it's the meal of champions...or at least hungry girls in the woods...but I was thinking more along the lines of a one pot meal, or even a box oven meal if you're daring...I can make the box oven for you

  11. What is it with the male half of a relationship not liking tomatoes? Tomatoes are awesome.

    MEN NEED TO EAT MORE TOMATOES.
