Joe’s Birthday Dinner

July 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment


Caprese Salad, South Yarmouth, Cape Cod


Joe, Jessica, Jane :: South Yarmouth, Cape Cod

Last week was Joe, Jessica’s dad’s birthday. This week he and Jessica’s mom, Jane, are visiting on the Cape, so one night we invited them to our house for dinner. Jess, Julie and I served a homemade cucumber, yogurt, dill dip with vegetables, hummus and a cheese plate for appetizers. Then we made turkey burgers like we had the other night, grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, and grilled chicken for dinner. Julie made a caprese salad with fresh basil we got from Jess’s uncle, fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. Jane also brought a tasty potato salad – secret ingredient: bacon. Everything was delicious. For birthday dessert we had a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. YUM.

Chris wore his FeedBurner bike hat for the special occasion.

Sorry, everyone! I forgot to post these photos that I promised I’d post weeks ago. The night before Dallas and I left for Connecticut, I went to a FeedBurner reunion party at De Cero. About 13 of us made it out. We expected more, but it was a busy week for many people. A lot of people who were there I’d seen often at the Google office. Others, I hadn’t seen for a long time, more than a year. Enough time for Adil to have a baby even! As per the FeedBurner tradition, we ordered a ton of guacamole and platters of assorted tacos. It was a fun time and something we’ll have to repeat.

Thursday night was TECH Cocktail. Since its inception, I’ve gone to every TECH Cocktail event in Chicago except maybe one or two. The difference with this one is that the founders, Frank and Eric, asked me to take photographs for them. Mostly of people coming in after registration and standing in front of the logoed Hollywood red carpet backdrop. If I took your photo on Thursday, go here to find it.

After about an hour or so at the door I met back up with Alden, Jessica, Justin Wardo, John, Traci and Joe, who I’d come with. I took some more candid photos but mostly just enjoyed the party at that point. Oh, and I won a $25 iTunes gift card. It’s interesting how many people I know at these events and how exactly I know them. I always see people I met through Chicagoist, people who read this site, people I did business with at FeedBurner and people from Google now too. Oh, and there are people I know just from Tech Cocktail events.

Yesterday was Google Chicago’s summer picnic at The Green at Grant Park. There was lots of food and drinks and mini golf. Pretty much everyone sucked at mini golf, but part of the reason was that there were tons of kids running all around grabbing balls and stuff. Yeh, that’s my excuse. I played a game with Dick and Jessica and I think I came in last. It is a really tough course. No edges, so the ball rolls into flowerbeds and onto the next green and everywhere.

We have a ping pong table at work and a lot of people play, so last week we had a tournament. It took forever to work around people’s .. uh.. actual work and meetings. Pretty much we had the brackets up and whenever you and your opponent had a free ten minutes, you went and played quick. In the end Eric L. was victorious.
