General Grant’s 190th Birthday Party
We have interesting friends. Here’s a creative celebration Steve and I went to on Saturday night. What a fun event. Here are a few of the details. Hardtack crackers and dried black-eyed peas. The sheet music for Tenting Tonight on the piano. Photographs and books bearing the General’s likeness. A willingness to celebrate and have fun. A Prantl’s cake with five candles for his rank. I made Rice Pudding after reading that it was a favorite on the Presidents’ Food Timeline. Thanks Tim and Bernadette for being such welcoming hosts. We had a wonderful time!
That is amazing – imagine celebrating Grant’s birthday. I am impressed.

Either you hang with a very patriotic bunch or they’ll go to great lengths to come up for a reason to throw a party. I’m guessing it’s the latter! No matter, it sounds like a great time.

Any reason to get together with friends is a good idea. My kind of party…did I see pie?…and my kind of friends it sounds like.

When Southerners do this sort of thing we chuckle, but hey it’s Grant. Now that’s just being patriotic.

One of our most beautiful and historic hotels here in San Diego is downtown, the U.S. Grant Hotel.
