Today's the Big Day

Well, if all has gone well by the time this note appears we will have packed our little car to the gills and headed off to host a party for my father George and his partner Trevor. It's Dad's 75th birthday and he and Trevor have now been together for 30 years! Congratulations, guys!

I'll post some photos once the event has actually happened, supposing I have any time to take pictures which is perhaps a rash assumption, *gulp*.

Meanwhile, here's the menu. Many of these items are things I've made before, and some of them you can expect to see posted shortly. Once they are up, I'll add the links. You may note I gave up on the won-tons. They didn't bake well, and I decided I was also, as usual, biting off more than I could chew. So to speak.
