50 is fun!

This birthday party started out as 'jeans and a Mexican potluck' and evolved into a grand event in a beautiful apartment here in BA. We were there to celebrate Sheridan's 50th birthday.

I was asked to take pictures. Mimi was asked to cook. I took about 200 pictures, I think Mimi cooked about that much asparagus! It was a black & white affair but there was no mourning for this birthday girl....
Our party hosts, Jamie & Jane did an amazing job of decorating the apartment, organizing the potluck and cutting Ian loose with his mastery of trivia for an event like this.

Yes, there was some Mexican elements to the evening including Corona beer!

Mimi and I also made ribs. Damn good ribs.

I have to admit, it was the 'shiniest' potluck supper I have ever been to.

And it was a lot of fun.

Gifts were kept to making a donation to SACS (Send a Child to School) but Gary did give Sheridan a trip Antarctica to see the pinguinos!

Ok...here is the secret to 'our' ribs. Take the remis to the Kansas restaurant, head into the lounge, have a beer and then order 8 dinners of 'Houston' ribs with sauce 'para llevar' (to go). We skipped the salad and fries.....just the ribs 'por favor'. We sat there, enjoyed the beer and then out came with bags of ribs, containers of BBQ sauce and off we went to the party.
