Not to worry, dah-lings, we’re expert entertainers and even with a limited time frame and budget, we came up with a celebration that would make Martha Stewart proud. Here’s Fausto's breakdown for giving a fabulous party with only two hours notice.
 |
| Pork belly, pulled pork and ribs. Oink! Oink! |
1. Order a bunch of
pork products from Butcher Bar. White
people seem to love barbecued pork products (and cole slaw).
 |
| Tasty AND descriptive |
2. Pick up a fancy
chocolate chip cake. Yes, that would be
a cake without icing, but instead a large soft chocolate chip cookie on the top
and bottom and layered with chocolate cake and cream. White folks seem to love chocolate chip
cookies almost as much as barbecue.
Oh,
and make sure to personalize the cake with some loving term of endearment like,
“Happy Birthday Manwhore.”*
*Special thanks to Anisa at Terrizzi Pastry Shop who didn't bat an eye at our unorthodox text request (whispered across the pastry display).
3. Pick up some
colorful balloons. It doesn’t matter
what they say, as long as they’re festive - our choices - “Happy Birthday,” “Mis
Quince” and “It’s a Boy!” And make sure
the Latino gentlemen filling them with helium knows that they’re a joke and you
actually do know what “Mis Quince” means.
 |
| Aaarrgh! |
4. Pick a theme. This was a bit more difficult given our time constraint and limited budget. But as soon as I spied that pirate hat and sword at the dollar store, I knew where this party theme was headed. Ahoy, mateys!
