40 Years a Buddhist

We were invited to a wonderful 40th anniversary party last weekend. Our friend, Marc, has been practicing Buddhism for four decades. He decided to gather his family and friends from childhood on, from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle, to chant and feast in celebration. We were happy to be among the lucky revelers.

Even though dinner was generously catered, we didn’t want to arrive empty-handed. What could we bring to an auspicious event like this one?

Years ago, Chef Carolina gave me a set of pastry bags and tips to be used for decorating. She never gives up on my potential cooking prowess, that daughter of mine. Finally, just hours before the party she instructed me. What a fun project! We assembled the most delicious and gorgeous deviled eggs. Complete with truffle powder and fresh chive garnish.

Indeed, Marc is encouraging in the faith department. And he had no idea the edible delicacy he had inspired.
