Andreas...well I certainly wish I could say, "I'll be there!"

I just don't think I can arrange a timely schedule - I'll make something here in your honor! Have a great party!

Sigman,

Thank you! I know it's kind of short notice for everybody but the delivery has been postponed several times now and not until today have I been given an exact date.

I can save some pie and custard for you, or make some new whenever you feel like visiting. Hmm, maybe I should have that as an standing invitation for all CPFers.

Sounds like fun! I will have to pass (I aint got no stinkin passport) or the means to get me there. I do thank you all the same and I will be there in spirit as a strange person whom happens to be a CPF member.
Have fun.

Hope the birthday was fun. I sure missed the coffee!

Hi Winny, I wanted to post to say thanks for the invitation and I hope you had a great birthday!

Topper, Ledean and Sixpointone,

Thanks!

The party went on quite well, although the coffee wasn't ready until 8 PM and the pie didn't came out of the oven before 20 past 10.
When the guests arrived, I was still connecting the electricity for the machine so everything was dark and my apartment is 31 m^2 so there we where, 10 people crowded in the dark... almost. Luckily, I had enough flashlights to light up the apartment until I was done.

The coffee was great and no one of my guests had any sleep that night due to all the caffeine. :huh:
I must have made over 30 cappuccinos that night.

Coffee is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about a swedish party. I always thought that Swedes were drinking beer from huge horns... :buddies:

Marc,

Well no, it's not the first thing you think of. At normal Swedish party, you drink as much beer as you can afford and and much moonshine you can get hold of, but I find those a bit destructive and I don't see then fun in being blind drunk.

Sigman,

Yepp! You all missed something.

Well, it's not too late to plan for next year!

I wish I could arrange that, trip of a lifetime! My bills dictate that I'll be lucky to be living where I am now when next year rolls around! But that won't prevent us from celebrating "again"!

bernhard's birthday is today and I'm going to make a cake to share with my family "in honor of his day"!
