Part 2 of the weekend was all about my uncle Reagan turning 50. Doesn’t he still look 35? Lucky for us, we share genes!
We are a good looking couple. The theme was Black and White.
My sister and cousins with the birthday man.We live in four separate cities–Austin, Houston, Los Angeles, Chapel Hill, NC and range in age from 21-27. There are five younger cousins too, ages 8 months to 14.
Since this is a food blog, here are some food pictures. This was an appetizer of foie gras, a licorice consumme, pear tartlet, margarita shooter and tuna bite.
Oh hi Julianne Hough! You and your boyfriend Ryan Seacrest are so nice and cute.
She was very personable and kind. I can’t believe she is 22 years old. And beyond beautiful and classy. And then she friended me on Facebook! I think we’re becoming BFFs.
Caviar, gnocchi, risotto with porcini mushroom.
Polenta topped with braised short rib and lobster behind it and a white asparagus sauce.
This was our family’s chocolate cake recipe! We have it every year at Thanksgiving to celebrate November birthdays.
All the cousins and our dates.
That’s it! If you are friends with me on Facebook, the rest of the pictures are there, about 90.

Regular daily blogging resumes tomorrow.
