Birthday party!!!! ^_^

Hi Everyone, I guess you're enjoying Christmas night right now! I wish everyone have a happy Christmas. I stopped by many of your blogs but couldn't open a lot of you, so if I don't comment is because I couldn't open your blog, not because I don't want to. The internet conexion in China is not the best, many international websites are forbitten in China. So, just bear with me this month, I'll catch up when I get back to US.
Okay. Yesterday's party was a total success, the acceptance of my western cuisine was better than I thought. They were hesitant to try new food at the beginning because they didn't know the name and didn't know what they were. But after I explained and described to them how popular and delicious are they, they finally tried them all and liked most of them.
The menu was
hummus over french toast breadblack bean dip over sweet potatoa big saladvegetarian paellachipaschocolate-pistacho biscottichoco-nuts petit fourspizza
and a soup made with beef and veggies (no pic)
carrot cake was the birthday cake

then my camera ran out of battery and I forgot to bring the cord.... :(
Back to my morning. the Breakfast made with oat bran and apple, topped with dragon fruit.
I woke up at 5am and decided to get up to prepare the cake and some others dishes because my body really craved a workout so I wanted to finish up with the preparing and go to the gym before guests arrive. It was a great workout on the treadmill, I did 6 miles between running and walking. I felt warm and energized after it.

We spent our afternoon chatting, playing Majong ( a traditional game in China) and preparing wonton.It was a great day~ I enjoyed it a lot, not only because it was my birthday, but also because I felt being able to express my love to them once more, this time with a big meal fest! ^_^
