Tonight I had a party to celebrate Pete's birthday and him becoming an American this week. Pete's been in the USA forever, but finally decided to make the big leap to citizenship. He's got his own reasons, but I maintain it was based largely on the crazy ex-Canadians we met at Amy's Mexican Food at my birthday challenge dinner who told Pete if he died the government would come in and take everything and Steffi would be left without even a washcloth and could likely send her off to Thailand as part of the sex trade. Pete says that had nothing to do with his decision, but again, the time line clearly shows crazy ex-Canadian talkers and then Pete applying. So you make your own conclusions. All the bike boyfriends were there but Clarence who is "getting ready to go to Oregon" which could mean he's leaving any where from today until two weeks from now.
I decided to make a Chocolate Guinness Cake for dessert. Bob Hollywood had made it as his Christmas party last year and its primary ingredients are Guinness and Chocolate. My main concern was keeping Earl away from it while it was cooling because you will remember he has a soft
spot for cakes I've made for Pete. It turned out very good, while the lasagne turned out a gooey mess.

Pete wanted to have martinis, so we had a martini bar.
