As I have blogged previously, planning special events during a pandemic requires a certain amount of creativity. I also learned that it requires a bit of investigative skills. If you are planning a party for someone else, you have to figure out what they would like.

I have a big birthday coming up in July. I think my family is already in the investigation phase of what they may be planning (we are early planners). Lately, I have been receiving a lot of hypothetical questions from them. The most interesting recent question has been, “What meal would you choose, if you could eat anything, without consideration to calories?”

For me that would probably be an Italian meal with a lot of gooey, melted cheese. I rarely partake in that sort of meal due to the calories, fat etc. But I know I would for a special birthday. And finish it off with cake with a lot of fudgy frosting. And then avoid the scale for a week.

What would your answer be?
