This year may have been my best birthday theme ever. My life in event planning is Parks & Rec…to a tee. It is perfectly accurate in case you were wondering. I’m reasonably sure most of the jurisdictions I work with have assistants who are bribed not to let calls go through. They’ve referenced the piles of paper they have to get through and regularly do me a favor, by doing their jobs. Work hasn’t made me bitter, but I see the disparity in customer service all the time. I have a special place in my heart for park folks around the country who take their jobs as seriously as Leslie Knope.
Mr. J took all the photos so I could enjoy myself. It was wonderful and delicious. My friends are really talented. Somehow I thought there’d be a more manageable quantity of food compared to last year’s birthday food theme, but (K)nope, there was more!
Without further ado, here they are!
Here’s the app winner: Not Swanson’s Zucchini Goat cheese Rolls (the winner won Ron Swanson paper dolls)
This is the zert winner: S’more Cups (this winner got Leslie Knope paper dolls)
These had LOTS of votes so it won a runner up award aka, a sketch of Tom Haverford
This runner up got a sketch of Ben Wyatt since the flavors were so complex
This runner up got the Chris Trager health award
This runner up got a sketch of Donna since I thought Donna would find this Benz-worthy
There was so much food! This one was mine!
this was mine too!
yes. yes, I am very hungry now.
Wow! You really do have talented friends. I am dying for each and every one of these recipes…
