Birthday Party for Ingrid Thursday, 2/17

Not Afraid · 02-14-2011, 12:04 PM

This Thursday, 2/17, would have been Ingrid's 83rd Birthday. Her wish, following her death was to have a party. So, in her honor, we are throwing her a party "in absentia".

Things will be as if Ingrid had thrown the party herself. Her favorite way to celebrate was to do a "fondue". A Fondue involved people sitting around the table for hours, talking, laughing and cooking meat in broth. At the end of the meal, brandy was put into the broth and the broth was then consumed.

We're going to change things just slightly in that we're going to do the Fondu open house style. We'll also have all sorts of food that Ingrid would have provided - brats, potato salad, German breads, hot mustard, meats and a Black Forest cake. (Not much is vegetarian, which is why my own vegetarianism ended when I met Chris

).

Please join us at our house if you can anytime Thursday, February 17th between 3 pm and 10 pm to celebrate Ingrid's birthday and her memory. Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll even get to do a Polka or two.

(Ingrid requests no gifts - she has everything she needs.

)
