On Friday night, I had the pleasure of attending Lizz’s birthday party which, as usual, had a fun and interesting theme. Last year, she held a “dirty shirty” party where everyone’s shirts were inappropriate, to say the least. This year, for her 30th (Ok, her 7 and a half because she’s a leap year baby), she opted for a more “grown up” theme and had a wine and beer exchange party.
The rules were simple: come to the party with either two bottles of wine or two 6-packs of beer. One bottle or 6 pack would be opened for everyone to taste, and the other stayed on the table. Everyone’s names got put in a bucket and drawn randomly, and we got to choose a bottle of wine (or beer if thats what the guest brought) to bring home!
One of the many reasons I love Lizz is that she held off on putting any of the food out until I got there, and asked that I take some good pictures, and she didn’t want anything to be eaten or ugly when I got to take the pictures! We talked before about what a good blog post the party would be…
First and foremost, there was this incredible garlicky cheese dip that Lizz baked in a loaf of bread. I’m working on getting the recipe from her, but let me tell you, in all honesty, it was the BEST dip I’ve ever had. AND it looked good!
