I spent Friday night at my friends house for his 31st birthday. We call this the barbecue crowd; as anytime we get together it involves flesh, fire and a free for all on alcohol. Long ago we had introduced them to the Fuzzy Rum Drinks (FRD) of Mark fame. It is a concoction that is so sweet and full of rum that you just need two before trying to remember your name. Many times we will bring our bar blender that has only two speeds: pulverize and subatomic particle. We got jumped with the information that the FRD had been requested and that they already had all the ingredients. So the night started early with FRD's and birthday cake. Yeah, we ended up spending the night. Not before the birthday boy was sent into the hot tub and we joined him. I didn't participate in any of the FRD's but I was out of the running early.
I woke up the next day with HHBL next to me on the floor and J next to him with J2 on the far end. The most fun was when I looked down and saw J spooning HHBL. I didn't realize anyone else knew it was happening. Of course Jesse didn't realize he was doing that until we told him it was all good until he stroked Mark's face. We love Jesse.
The host's mother was visiting and she made Ceviche the next morning for breakfast/lunch. OMG that is an amazing dish. If you know any native Ecuadorians, or other latin decendents and they like to cook, request this one. I will be trying to duplicate it but I am sure I will fail miserably for awhile.
I left that next afternoon with a feeling that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. I love my friends, they love me, they fill my heart and make me feel like I must have done something really right in my life to have been blessed like this.
