Making plans for my 40th birthday - part 4
I have planned the menu for my birthday.Hotdogs, burgers and hot wings. Now begins the task of slowly buying the things I need for the food. Step one was today: The barbecue sauce.
I have bought 4 different ones. Three of them were Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, because that's the best one, in my opinion. I bought one original, one honey barbecue sauce and one honey chipotle barbecue sauce. The last one is called Bull's Eye, and it's supposedly very good.
I also bought three different spicy ketchup. One is called pepper fruit ketchup, and it has cayenne pepper, dried ancho-chili, white pepper and jalapeño peppers in it. The second one is a jalapeño ketchup and the last one is a habanero ketchup. I am very excited to try them all!
You might ask yourself "Won't the guests hate it if there's a lot of spicy stuff there?". I'm already ahead of you there! There will also be regular ketchup as well as mustard and a lot of different toppings. I'm sparing no expense on the food. Everything needs to be perfect! I am catering to every need.
Case in point is the late entry to the party, which comes in the form of my cousin and her two girls as well as the oldest girls boyfriend. Naturally, I am all for it, so I asked if there were any dietary concerns I need to be aware of, since they're all Muslim and aren't eating pork. So I am getting some chicken sausages for them as well as using two pans for frying. One for bacon only, and the second one for the beef patties that I'm cooking up for the burgers. Another late entry is my brothers friend, who wanted to join as well. Naturally, I was all for it, so the total people coming is now 24.
I have planned for 30 people, so there's still room for more people. We're officially One month and 5 days away from my birthday!
I can't wait!

A word of advice....from another of your blogs...next time your Mom is sick...on a holiday...Buy some disposable face masks...and some hand sanitizer...and bask in the memories...She will not be with you forever...
My mom had a way of telling a short story very long winded...I would give anything to pick up the phone now and call her...and listen to one of her long winded tales...
