backyard. Despite the threat of 107 weather, we all had a great time
eating appetizers (my favorite way to eat, by the way) under the trees
and with massive, industrial flans blowing. The only thing that I have
to complain about is the band's misleading name: "Earthtone." When I
heard their name was "Earthtone," I instantly thought James Taylor or
Peter, Paul and Mary. When hearing the word "Earthtone," in my head
popped images of my childhood kitchen, circa 1978, or even the
Elizabeth Arden makeup counter, but none of these associations came
even close to what I heard: awesome, soulful, bluesy rock a la
Traffic, Peter Frampton and Jimi Hendrix. Mark and I have already
discussed the matter of getting them a new name.
As for the food:
Please come back later for more pics and links to recipes, but for now
I can tell you there were three different salsas, stuffed jalapeños,
mini-dogs, Ina's soppresatta and cheese in puff pastry and even
Portuguese sopas! These pirate cupcakes (no booty jokes, please) were
red velvet made by Shirley. Unfortunately, I'm on a major diet and had
to forego the cupcakes and just stick with vodka.
Video clips of the band posted later...please come back!
