[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just don't know. Anyone have any ideas?

Themes? You want themes?

Italian 50s! Ciao! Ciao! Go totally Fellini with a La Dolce Vita party. We'll get you the Anita Ekberg dress.

Beatnik 50s! Bring bongos and goofballs! Spontaneous and earnest poetry recitations. (See: Highschool Confidential, or just ask me to provide you stuff from my large collection of beatnikiana.)

Space Age Astro 50s! Everybody wears something shiny, pointy and futuristic. I can help with the cocktails (all of which should glow) and the music (space age bachelor pad music, 'natch). For my 32nd birthday party I threw a Cocktail Party on Mars. Everybody came in costume (including Francesca Lia Block). It was a big hit.

Hey Cash, still thinking about that pixie cut? Another glam pixe.

This one is for meara and Jilli.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

takes notes for next birthday party

Our wings are not tired.

It's a pretty big birthday, so I wanted something special, but I don't know what.

I went to Joshua Tree with Lori for my 50th. It was the bestest even though my rock climbing was pathetic. Then again going off to the desert when there is a party at home probably not a good plan.

Beatnik 50s!

Yes! Go Beatnik, Choose Beatnik!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I went to Joshua Tree

And let's not forget how entirely jealous I still am.

Isn't it just amazing there?

Always Anti-fascist!

My last birthday? Total dud. Depressing family dinner.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Our friends are moving to Joshua Tree. They're musicians and artists and there's quite a community forming there.

We just went to their going away cookout today.

Ooooh. That period food link is much fun. I now feel the need to have a Gatsby party.

(BTW, what is Kornlet, and is there a modern equivalent? I'm seeing it in a bunch of the Fanny Farmer recipes, with the definition being "Canned green corn pulp." I'm mildly intrigued.)

This dish is creeping me out.

Tomatoes in Aspic

Peel six small firm tomatoes, and remove pulp, having opening in tops as small as possible. Sprinkle insides with salt, invert, and let stand thirty minutes. Fill with vegetable or chicken salad. Cover tops with Mayonnaise to which has been added a small quantity of dissolved gelatine, and garnish with capers and sliced pickles. Place a pan in ice-water, cover bottom with aspic jelly mixture, and let stand until jelly is firm. Arrange tomatoes on jelly garnished side down. Add more aspic jelly mixture, let stand until firm, and so continue until all is used. Chill thoroughly, turn on a serving dish, and garnish around base with parsley.

There are several following it, including "Birds in Aspic."
