Ella and Francisco

Back in June Ella and I went to Michigan for Eli’s, my father-in-law, 60th birthday party. Myrna, my mother-in-law, organized a secret birthday party at Hong Hua, a great Chinese Restaurant in Farmington Hills. I can attest that my father-in-law was truly surprised. I followed him into the banquet room where he first noticed the immediate family at a big table. Then I saw his eyes widen as he took in the three extra larger tables of additional rowdy attendees, realizing that his party was a lot bigger than he previously understood.

Ella and I had just flown in a couple hours before the big dinner. My mother-in-law warned us not to eat anything that day, and when I get this kind of warning from one of Ella’s family, I take it to heart. The pictures below of each course do not do justice to the deliciousness and presentation of each course. What a great time! My tummy was happy for many months, and severely misses the non-stop entree action of that evening.
