Have you ever thought of a Birthday on Oktoberfest? Just imagine how the bash would go with a birthday celebration on Oktoberfest. Wait a bit... let me tell you about the bast that I and my peeps had this weekend! Yes... time was frozen with fun for a couple of days; it stood still and those fifteen naive souls were totally enslaved by beauty and tranquility broken by sounds of water splashes every now and then.

We had a long drive out to the Miami Beach. We've been planning a drive out for some time but time was not allowing us to make things happen. Lastly, this weekend revealed tons of opportunities to get washed away by waves of fun! I didn't take my Ford, I wasn't feeling like driving. All I need to do was to enjoy the world running backward, paving the way for us to rush forward, away from the hectic schedule of life. We rented an SUV. John has always been a crazy guy. He hardly cares about beauty that this planet offers for us to enjoy! He has always been the first one to step into the discussion, whenever it came to driving - be it a short or a long drive! This time we can't ignore the call of the beach. We drove out to Miami beach and had really a gorgeous weekend after a long span of time.

When the sparkles of the fun is still glittering in our heart, I got another big chance to make another real blast this Oktoberfest. It's Alec's birthday on September 20th and I got an opportunity to manage the party. I've planned to make it a two-in-one celebration, an Oktoberfest birthday party! I have planned to make it a beer party too. Alec has a bit higher budget, and he's planning to throw a big party. I'm planning to hold the part alfresco, as they make it in Munich. The guests should rock around with the German tunes and they will be given kazoos to play along. There will be some large kegs of German beer and they are going to be served with some traditional German dishes.

I am sure, their appetites will be magnified multiple times with the yummy smell of springerle in the crisp autumn weather; we need to go overboard while planning for the quantities. I have already collected a springerle rolling pin, although its pretty tough to find these days. There's going to be another dessert recipe out of an old Betty Crocker cookbook dated 1969 - Strawberry Bavarian Cream. I am sure this is going to be a great fun for Alec and his guests. Let's see how the birthday bash goes. Wishing you guys a very Happy Oktoberfest.

Stay tuned... I will be coming up with the a post on how to make Strawberry Bavarian Cream.

Hey... guess what!! September 9th is Hot Dog Day... the time of the year that leaves us with an opportunity to celebrate the yummiest food. And, just imagine if it your birthday on Hot Dog Day. I am sure people who share their birthday with this big day are really lucky... so are their guests too! and the special thing about the day is that it's also the birthday of Michelle Williams, who is known as bad girl Jennifer Lindley on Dawson's Creek.

I don't know anyone whose birthday is on September 9th - the Hot Dog Day; nor I got any event to manage that day yet. But I am sure I could have created a perfect blast on the dinner table if I could get a chance to manage a party on Hot Dog Day.

If you know someone whose birthday is on September 9th - the Hot Dog Day, I know you are looking for the most inspirational way to wish him or her on the special day. Send her your best wishes.

Stay tuned... I will be sharing a special Hot Dog recipe shortly. Rachel is experimenting on that.

Managing birthday parties are not that a big deal for me. We did that a lot. But it's a bit different this time, because I am just out of the track. But that doesn't matter... I've already started off with Erik's birthday party project. Erik is an one-year-old little kid - grandson of Uncle Fred's friend.

Planning Erik's birthday party is different too! It's not like the way we arranged things for John's Birthday party. Since I've short time in our hand, I suggested them a different type of birthday invitation. I showed Mrs. Miller (Erik's mom) some really thoughtfully designed birthday invitation samples that hold the right spirit of birthday fun! The one she liked is really great but that doesn't match with the theme that I'm planning for little Erik's birthday party!

I am planning for a Teddy Bear Theme birthday party on Erik's first birthday. I'm sure he would like it and the guests too! A Teddy Bear birthday party is just the perfect one for preschoolers; and Erik just turned one.

• We'll be having a checkered tablecloth with red and white plates, cups and napkins for the little masters.
• I planned for a picnic basket filled with play food - fruits that will be placed somewhere in the party room.
• I'll have some stuffed animals all around the party room. that would surely make the little guests really happy!
  
• Vibrant colored helium balloons will be hanging all around the party room... preferably out of the reach of our little guests.
  

I was planning to keep the balloons scattered all around the floor but Uncle Fred told me not to do that. Our little heroes will be scared if the balloons start bursting near them. I put my plan before Mrs. Miller. I showed the birthday invitation that I would like to use. Check out this and let me know what you think!

I am feeling like some tumbleweed that breaks away from its roots during Autumn. I don't want to work now... want to have a drive out - miles away from the hectic bustle of life, from the strange business calls, somewhere where I can let the world know that I am in love with Christine and Christine with me! May be somewhere near the sea, where I can walk with her hand held and leaving behind the trails of our footprints on the sandy beach washed off with splashes cool brine every now and then.

Trust me... my brain is almost fully asleep and my keyboard is dozing. The griller I work with seems to have already slept and the ovens are sparing fatigued glimpses. How can I manage events? Labor Day is right across the bend and still I won't be getting time to move out of the restaurant and have some time for myself. People will be visiting the bars and restaurants more than ever that day.

I swear... I'm dead tired. But just with the Labor Day be over, I am going to have a drive out with my peeps and with Christine. Let's see....

Stay tuned... I am managing a birthday party on Labor Day. I'm not sure how the birthday bash will go out there but just trying my best to bring things on track! Will tell you more about that...

Ahhh... the party was really cool! It was a great surprise for John. He did not know about the party until we told him on the day! It was a real tango of life for him and as soon as he heard about it, he simply turned spell bound, with his eyes opened wide and a sudden splash of happiness could be seen on his face! But a lot more to come for him... his birthday gift! It was a cool gift and he liked it.

I have always experienced a slight brain freeze while buying a birthday gift! I've always offloaded my headache on Uncle Fred and now after Christine came into my life it's an added help. Since her coming to my life, she has always tried to make my life easier; my shopping for gifts has now become easier.

We got a charcoal gray 'Gianni Collani wool-blend sports blazer' for him. It just cost $ 34, I couldn't even think that a brand like this could be so inexpensive. A sudden shriek of surprise made John breathless for a few seconds! And the party started off with that ever-green song. He blew of the candles; cut the birthday cake and the tango started!

The Friendship Day party is something I'm really waiting for quite anxiously. Our plan's fixed and Christine also has almost arranged for the Wild Bunch California White 2004. The most exciting news today is that John is coming to meet me this Friendship Day. Actually he's coming with his plan to celebrate his birthday on August 2nd with me. I just can't explain you how I felt getting the news. He is one of my best buddies since my days at Alexander-Smith Academy and we couldn't even think of having sip on coffee without each other. He had always been a great sportsman - one of the most turbulent pitcher on the field!

Now, that he is coming tomorrow is really a great news for me and we can have the Friendship Day party to celebrate his birthday too. Just a couple of days ago, I remember, I wrote about Birthday Celebration on Friendship Day. I couldn't even imagine that I would ever get a chance to enjoy the tango of life. Perfectly said Tom in Forrest Gump: "Life is like a Box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get!" Yes... this is almost exactly how life's been for me. These last few months have brought me an awesome assortment of flavors. Getting a chance to meet Christine at Miami Seaquarium, getting red roses from her, getting her in my life, getting opportunity for a drive out to South Beach, getting my dream of managing big and small events come true - and that too with Christy with me..... and now getting a chance to rock around with all my best buddies on Friendship Day! It sounds like fairy tales to me.

Believe it or not it's something like winning consecutive bike races one after another! Now I'm worried lest I develop a habit of winning things! My passion for speed never stopped me dreaming about new things and getting the dreams come true with each sun shine. I can feel I am moving forward at a high pace - that's what I want in my life and I can see very well that within a very short spell of time I can materialize my dream of the country-wide restaurant chain business!

Hey... the good news is that our party is almost fixed! People who know me and my peeps know this very well that they won't be able to find such crazy party animals like us! We just wait for opportunities for parties and we try not to miss a single opportunity. Time's not always the same. With the passage of days we are getting more and more involved with life's more serious matters, which sometimes becomes constraints for us to party!

This time we are going to have the party on Friendship Day - August 3rd... this weekend. The good news is that we don't need to take a day off. Rachel told me that she's going to give us a surprise! What can it be other than some special recipes? I am sure because she gave us a surprise with the most delicious Cherry cheesecake on Christine's birthday party at South Beach . Christine said she's going to bring the party wines for us! She said, she can get us the Wild Bunch California White 2004 at much lower cost. I like it. The flamboyant flavors of pineapples, peaches, honey, and some other fruits make the wine taste really awesome and refreshing! With the most aesthetic flavor, Wild Bunch California White 2004 can tango with the Latin rhythm... trust me I know because I had this a couple of time before!

I'm really expecting a rocking party. We're saving a lot of money on renting a hall. Uncle Fred's backyard is a perfect spot to party the day long! But folks... I'm sure some of you are also planning a party this Friendship Day, be it just for celebrating this great event or to celebrate your Friendship Day birthday party! I can give you an idea about inviting your peeps over for such a grand party. Click here to see a Friendship Day birthday party invitation greetings. So... hey, just move a step ahead and let your peeps know that you are launching a party this Friendship Day!

Hey... Have you ever thought of a birthday party on a special occasion? I'm sure many a times you have such 2-in-1 birthday invitations! Yes... my friend Rachel was telling me about a birthday party that she had a couple of years back at when she went to meet her sister at Frankfurt.

It was really a perfect blast because the party was actually arranged on Friendship Day, although the birthday was a day before! Just imagine how the birthday bash had been! The party floor was decorated with all yellow flowers and strippers, creating an ambiance that could hold the true spirit of friendship day celebration! Starting from the birthday decoration to everything there could be no better way to add a special fervor top the birthday party than that, said Rachel.

I couldn't resist my temptation to express my eagerness to create some magic on the special day - the Friendship Day (August 3rd). "Why can't we arrange for a similar blast?", I asked Rachel. She jumped up with surprises - as if she got a news of winning a lottery! I'm on a mission to create a blast this Friendship Day...

I'm sure you now know who's John! If you're a regular reader of my blog you know that he's one of my best buddies. Since my days at Alexander-Smith Academy, John has always been with me in my good and bad times! We shared our shoulder whenever required. John is a real good sportsman - almost in every sense of term. He's a baseball player and an extraordinary pitcher.

Now, time's again thrown me into confusion! I'm looking for ideas for a awesome gift for him. August 2nd is John's birthday. He's turning 29 this year and is planning for a big party at his backyard garden. It's really a great spot for parties.

Christine was there with me yesterday morning; she shared her ideas about the birthday gift for John. We talked about it with all-time-great one-stop solution for my problems - Uncle Fred, who will be coming up with an exhaustive list within a short spell of time. Christine came up with something really a wonderful idea. She knows John very well; he lives life on the edge. His passion for speed matches mine and we often have a race – on bikes, although Christy doesn't like that. She says she is really scared, when my Trek Y5 Bike flies off at a speed more than that of light! She can't afford to lose me' - she says, and insisting me to sell it off. I can understand her love for me; I love my Trek Y5 either! Also give me an idea on what can I do to make Christy love my Trek Y5 too!

Now let me tell you what Christy wants John's birthday gift to be. She was talking about a 16 ounce Pub Pilsner. She showed me a pic of the thing... it's really cool! We can personalize one as a special keepsake and John would love it - I'm sure! She also suggested another special gift for him, if budget permits. An engraved baseball mounted on a specially designed wooden stand will be another shriek of surprise for John on this birthday!

Stay tuned Uncle Fred is going to come up with his ideas too shortly. Who knows... you might find his idea beneficial if you know someone close who's a really sport lover. You can purchase these gift for him or her.

Well I just found something really interesting and couldn't resist myself to share this with you. As this blog is a birthday blog I thought of posting this here as it will benefit you when it comes to birthday recipe. I just found the web buzzing with something -- mediterranean diet. Most of us were with a wrong notion that the lower in fat a diet is, the better it is for our health.Modern research denies it, belying the long-held belief that low-fat diets are best!

As usual I was in the net the last night when I suddenly landed on a page that says researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, carried out a study with 322 obese subjects. The outcome of the research was that the so-called Mediterranean diet (a diet characterized by heavy fats, fruits and veggies) beats out the low-fat diet when it comes to health benefits.

So guys, when it comes to choosing a birthday recipe next time there's no harm picking the high-fat Mediterranean diet. Just keep in mind that recent study that was published in the British Medical Journal reports that Mediterranean diet "helps reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 83 percent."

Now you can plan for a 'Mediterranean diet' themed birthday party where the recipes can be based on Italian and Greek flavor. Just imagine a birthday party where guests will be served plenty of foods, having health benefits such as vegetables, fruits, olive oil, whole grains, fish, legumes and saturated fats, meat, dairy etc. and not just only a birthday cake and some snacks. A moderate consumption of alcohol would just be a perfect blast!

July 7th was a grand birthday party for us! Matt and I have been friends for year - since when we worked together at Azul's. I still remember those days, we used to wait tables and now he's a senior head waiter in a hotel in Florida. I'm also serving the same hotel as a senior staff supervisor. Till date we are good friends and can't even think of a party without being together at the floor.

Matt is a go-getter sort of a guy with a devil-may-care attitude and it's probably for this that I like him. He’s a chick magnet, a smart guy who sometimes drinks limitlessly and ends up being troubled by the bouncers. It's really safe to drink with at home rather than at the bars!

But this time the party was really cool! We had lot of Grgich Hills' Chardonnay and yummy recipes at the party. We were there with him since that morning and arranged the party. With just a few guests (only some of our friends) were in the party and it was really rocking one. Matt's mail box was waved by loads of birthday wishes and birthday greetings. Some of them are really awesome!

I had a cool recipe for Matt that really moved every single guests with a shriek of surprise. Chicken Pepperoncini. I got it from the net - some times back; but I don't remember. I made it in many parties before and each time it made a blast! This time I just made a chance to make that for Matt. It's really a fantastic dish that's one of Christy's faves too!

First off... sorry for being so late! Wishing you all a very Happy Independence Day - though belated, I'm sure you won't mind.

So guys how was your July 4th celebration? America's birthday bash, for me, was just a perfect blast with my peeps around me - Fred, Matt, Rachel, John, Tim, Natalie, and Christine - obviously. The good news is that Rachel's mom is absolutely okay! We had a grand 4th of July party, right when the Miami and her beaches suddenly came to life this July 4th! Starting from the picnics in the parks around, to the dinner cruises on the inspirationally beautiful Biscayne Bay the world seemed to have regained her long lost glory!

We had a short drive out towards 8th Street and Ocean Drive around 7:00 p.m. this 4th and found people went gaga over the music of Julio Iglesias, the Junior. Ahhh... I could feel myself away from the cacophonies of bustling life after long time! How could we head home without watching the fireworks? We found the first glaring flash across the dark sky at round 7:00 and the world came to life! With passage of minutes the darkness was almost gone and I found Christy in my arm when the galore of glaring multicolored hues dazzled up the Miami beach. I could not feel when and how we came closer to each other; it just happened and I could feel her warmth. Just as I thought I should whisper those there magical words that our heart have been silently sharing since when Christy gave me those red roses, Uncle Fred surged softly between us and said, "I know, you are nauseous and tingly all over -- both of you. That means either you are in love or having small pox"! It reminded me of Woody Allen and my peeps roared with laughter! Fred is still young at heart - his wrinkled eyes winked at me.

Anyway, there nothing better than this to celebrate the nation's birthday - especial when my lady was in my arm and the world got adorned with all red, blue and white. The bad news is that till today I didn't say her 'I Love You'. I just can't sketch my love in words either, I just want to let the world know I love her. I just can't say how much much I love her!

Stay tuned... today's Matt's birthday. And I'm gonna strike him with the sudden shriek of wonder with a special birthday gift.
