My Birthday

People get ready. The birthday festivities are set to begin next Friday (July 17) a la casa, around 7 pm. (7/17 at 7...heh). Since The Boy and I are going to see Bob Dylan on Saturday AT WOODSTOCK, I've unintentionally cut into key birfdizzle time. But we'll just party hard on Friday instead.

Being as we're going to Woodstock, and it's the 40th anniversary of that particular iconographic moment, I'm making the party theme be sort of hippie-lite. More like Wavy Gravy really. So tie-dye. But no costumes, please. The food is going to dictate the theme. Everyone just dress according to the weather and your own personal predilections.

So, with my extensive art background, I know that ROY G BIV will determine the palette for the array of food I'll be "curating.'

R - traditional red tomato salsa

O - mango salsa

Y - corn on the cob

G - mache or some other greens for the tacos

B - blue corn chips, my personal favorite

I - I don't think indigo is justified in getting it's own color in the spectrum, so let's pretend it says pink, which will be the color of the watermelon margaritas!
V - confusingly, red cabbage fits the bill

If Roy would give a shout-out to white then you would know there will be grilled fish and tortillas to make fish tacos, plus that white sauce they put on it in Baja and SoCal that I dearly miss. The piece de resistance will be a rainbow cake that fellow-upstate food blogger Albany Jane posted about this week.
