Birthday Party August 10th

Post by **dufremle** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 11:14 am

that's all it is? Rice? No flavoring or anything?

Why does it take all day to make it? Couldn't you just throw it in the food processor?

Sometimes bean paste or ume (pickled cherries) are added, but pretty much its just rice. Here's a cool photoset showing the process... its steamed and pounded in 10 lb batches, then rolled and packaged up to be given out. These pictures bring back memories...

And Blizz, you start talking about food... you're gonna get conversation! =P

Mochi looks like waaaay too much work for someone as easily distracted as I am!

Is this going to be a theme party or not? You can't just say it's a theme party, you have to do the work and prepare the theme food, get the decorations, turn the back yard into an island, find a palm tree, and don't forget the island girls in grass skirts and coconut tops.

Ok, we are doing a theme party. I have some decorations, need to get a few more.. Also, we are going to Kabobs. Since Hawaiian food is hard to come by here, its the next best thing. Everyone will get to make what they want on them, we will just have the fire going and all the fixin's. Anyone have any coconuts?

Hey Tink, do we get to see you in a grass skirt and coconut tops? Or less?

Tinkerbell · Post by **Tinkerbell** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 2:42 pm

Well, if someone has the coconut bra, I will wear a grass skirt... If not, I will at least wear the skirt and something on top.

Hey Jim, you and I can go Samoan!

Anyone got a spare diaper?

I think everyone would go home.

Any update on what we should bring?

Tinkerbell · Post by **Tinkerbell** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 11:36 am

uummm... Whatever you want. We will have the main course done (Kabob's). chips, cookies, drink stuff... I am still not sure if Firewa11 is getting a cake or not.

A Coconut bra for me! (if you want me to wear one)

Firewa11 · Post by **Firewa11** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:01 pm

Jim, bring a cake! Better yet, get a cake with the FWMR logo printed on it!

Seriously, bring a cake

And candles. Cigarettes don't blow out very easily...

Post by **dufremle** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:38 pm

A cake it is. Any preference to flavor? If not it will probably be chocolate.

Upside down Pineapple

Where is the puking icon?

Does Wal-Mart even sell those?

Tinkerbell · Post by **Tinkerbell** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:46 pm

I like vanilla (white) cake... it can be a marble or something, but straight chocolate is to much for me

Post by **dufremle** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:49 pm

Well, you are the birthday girl, so you get what you want. What do you want?

As long as Wal-Mart or Albertson's makes it, that is.
