Welcome Back Party
On Saturday, Mat and I played hosts to more than 30 people at our home. The idea was to throw a party to commemorate our great 7-month séjour in the USA. Of course, the theme was screaming red-white and blue à la stars and stripes:-)
I truly love to host dinner parties and any other sort of parties but the preparation for this one was more than I ever managed before. For 4 straight days I cooked, cleaned and decorated. For weeks before that I made research for funky recipe ideas that would suit our theme. Everything was a step-by-step process that took weeks to prepare. We served hot-dogs and hamburgers with many different imported steak sauces that are unknown to the Swiss market, 3 different salads, 6 different appetizers, 5 deserts, 15 liters of pink lemonade, 5 kinds of imported beer, imported white and rosé wines and tons of various sodas and juices.
It was well worth the trouble as everyone truly had an enjoyable time. Mathias made a 1-hour power-point presentation to inform our guests of what life was like for us at Fort Benning, Georgia.

WOW!!!!!Du beau travail! Te connaissant tout devait etre parfait! Too bad I was not there.....
Merci bcp pour le compliment Muriel. Yes, it would have been great to have you among us but you know what...you sort of were since we lit up your candle for the first time. It fit in perfectly with the theme...:-) Thanks again!
WOW! Quel travail gigantesque! Tu sembles avoir pensé à absolument tout! Ton décor est magnifique.
Tout comme Muriel, j'aurais aimé être là... Félicitations!
Tu es infatigable, ma fois!

Je confirme tout était parfait et dans les moindres détails. Nous nous sommes régalés à l'américaine. L'idée était génial.
Bravo Sandra!
