Nancy's Birthday Party and Book Launch
Over 70 friends gathered to launch Nancy's new ebook 'My Mother's Cookbook: Freshly Real'© and party to benefit The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Infant Cardiac Critical Care. 1960's party foods included 'what my mother put on a ritz cracker' with combinations including our favorite cheez whiz and peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Let's not forget smoked salmon and cream cheese. Wearing their party favor aprons, the crowd danced and socialized to the 60's and 70's music of DJ John Cook, building up a good appetite. They devoured the dessert table selection of carrot cake, chocolate cake, raspberry sponge with white chocolate icing and wild berry pie. In lieu of birthday gifts, friends donated to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for a total of just over $4,000. What a success......
Nancy and Nancy taking their picture with Rosamond, who is front and center on the 'My Mother's Cookbook: Freshly Real'© book cover pictured on the banner. Rosamond age 6 and Albert age 5 in 1917..... Nancy and Nancy are oldest friends from junior high school..... not in 1917, more like 1960.
And its Laura, Jerry, Catherine, John and Nancy looking good in the cookbook's promotional apron, laughing it up with Nancy's mother.
Jane and John....... modeling their aprons.... both have been great supporters of 'My Mother's Cookbook: Freshly Real'©. Jane flew in from Vermont and John drove in from Miami.
Nancy holding down the 'make your mother's canapé crackers station'....... cream cheese and salmon bits, peanut butter and marshmallow, pineapple cream cheese with a cherry... what did your mother put on a ritz? (confused about the Nancy's, there are 3 of them)
Jim and Nancy getting the party started. Jim was such an important part of setting up and keeping things going all evening.
Carts piled high with cakes, pies, salads, rolls, wine, beer, sparkling water and ice. Supplies for Nancy's Party in a train of carts heading out of Fresh Market in South Beach on Saturday afternoon.
