Neil's 30th Birthday a romantic dinner for two, with dessert for possibly
more, if visitors drop by.

Have dinner on the back porch. Use the Waterford and the Lenox. Have
colorful summer flowers & tall candlesticks. Use a pale green tablecloth &
decorate with white Christmas lights. Dinner should be late, so that the
candlelight & Christmas lights have an effect.

For Coctails: Serve soda with a maraschino cherry & some cherry juice.

For the First Course: Warm the dinner rolls in the oven for a few minutes &
serve in a bread basket. Serve the washed grapes on a nice plate in the
center of the table.

For the Main Course: Serve the chicken, rice, & salad all on the same
plate, so that the salad dressing can dribble over onto the chicken. It's
good that way.

For Dessert: Presumably there will be more people at this point, so serve
dessert buffetstyle. Depending on how many people there are, the good
china may not be a good idea... Have a kettle of hot water, and then a
variety of coffee, tea bags, & hot chocolate. Serve the ice cream with
three berry sauce dribbled on top. The cake should be a regular cakemix,
cooked in a heartshaped pan & frosted with regular chocolate frosting. Use
vanilla & pink & purple food coloring to write a happy birthday message.
