Now That's How You Turn 60!

So the Super Bowl wasn't the only celebrating on Sunday. My friends Lois and Joan invited a few people over for my birthday dinner (as well as for football watching). The theme was chocolate - yum (my friends know me so well) and music -yipeee (I've never turned down an opportunity to dance around the house) through 6 decades - ouch. (Okay that part hurt a little bit). Here's the menu...


So, for the 1950s we had yummy hot chocolate in cute little bowls and danced to...
Wake Up Little Susie by the Everly Brothers
Tequila  by The Champs
Blue Suede Shoes  by Carl Perkins

For the 1960s we had mini hot fudge sundaes in shot glasses and danced to...
Louie Louie  by the Kingsmen
Good Vibrations  by the Beach Boys
I Feel Fine  by the Beatles

We shared 3 Hershey chocolate bars for the 1970s and worked off some of our dinner dancing to...
Joy to the World  by Three Dog Night
You're So Vain  by Carly Simon
Hot Stuff  by Donna Summer

We had the most amazingly delicious chocolate covered strawberries for the 1980s and danced to...
Billie Jean  by Michael Jackson
Like a Virgin  by Madonna
Girls Just Want to Have Fun  by Cyndi Lauper

For the 1990s we ate chocolate truffles and danced too...
Believe  by Cher
Livin' la Vida Loca  by Ricky Martin
Vogue  by Madonna

We finished dancing in the 2000s, with "Designer chocolate" we were too full to eat. (I'm saving it for another day).
Smooth  by Santana
Umbrella  by Rihanna
I'm Yours  by Jason Mraz

And yet there was one more chocolate surprise...my birthday cake.

Now that's how you turn 60!

G - feel free to steal away. It was a perfect way to celebrate. I forgot to mention the margaritas. I had the first hangover in 30 years! Worth it though.
