Beautiful Sunday morning; a perfect day to relax, eat something you love and share a drink to de-stress .
But, not for them .
At Giselle's residence:
The mother was already up and busy in the kitchen . Lia woke up later and then joined in helping her mom . Giselle requested her to blow balloons and tie them up . Their apartment was already shining without the party props because Giselle made sure to clean the apartment before Sunday . Lia blows them balloons and tied them next to each other . It was basically to be partnered with the 'Welcome home' hanger sign . Lia worked diligently .
Giselle, on the other hand, was busy preparing the dishes . She planned to make the cake first . After that, she can arrange the living room and prepare the sign hangers with Lia . For lunch, Giselle went out to with Lia to get some food . Due to the party preparation mess, the duo planned to eat out . Plus, Giselle needed some fresh greens, bread, and Cheese to prepare the salad .
Their lunch was decided by Lia . Giselle gave her the freedom to pick whatever she wants because the little girl worked so hard without any complaint . For a kid at that age, Lia was already being super mature and understanding . As they kept walking, Lia noticed a food truck named 'cravings' . The design was sparkly and it had many people . Lia thought that it might be good to try food from those trucks . She requested her mother to buy from 'Cravings' food truck . They stood in the line waiting patiently . The line had comprised of 10-12 people . Giselle and Lia were behind the 7th . Lia, the little girl looked keenly at the menu board . We could say that she was confused about what to order . Looking at her restless face, the person in front of her noticed . It was a young woman in her 20's . She turned around and faced the little girl . she gently asked her, "You don't know what to order, do you? If I may recommend some dishes?" the woman asked Lia . Giselle smiled as she gave permission to continue the conversation .
The seventh person aka the nice woman ordered her food and before leaving away she signaled Lia that said 'go ahead and order it, you will love them' . After helping her, the woman left .
When it came to Lia's turn, she ordered two Grilled cheese sandwich, Buffalo wings, and a strawberry shake for herself . Giselle ordered a classic mojito for her . The two bought their lunch and went back home to eat .
Lia took a small nap after having the lunch; just like that woman said both grilled cheese sandwich and buffalo wings were delicious . Even their drinks tasted good . While Lia rested, Giselle did the prep work for cooking . The curry dish includes a lot of vegetables and spices which should be roasted and ground together for preparing the 'masala' . Once all of the prep work's done, Giselle returned to the living room to get some rest . She watched television for like an hour or so, while she decorated the living room with balloons an party props . Scented candles were placed in the dining room and living room .
However, her mind was preoccupied with the cooking and she went back in-between to start the process . The first dish was to prepare the curry and then steamed rice . Next was roasted chicken in the oven; nicely marinated and roasted with fillings inside . Mash potatoes were done side by side and the bread from the bakery is still fresh .
The roasted chicken was done and safely resided in the oven for keeping it hot . The curry was ready along with the rice . Meanwhile, Lia had woken up and was helping her mom in cutting veggies for the salad . Simple greek salad with red onions, tomatoes, black olives, cucumbers, bell peppers and finally feta cheese . Lia helped in preparing the salad . After finishing her work, she went to get dressed nicely . Giselle finished preparing the drinks for the guests . The cake was the first one to get done . All of the other preparations were completed on time . The time was now already 5 PM, the guests should be arriving soon .
Both Giselle and Lia got dressed up; Lia in her little red gown with french braid and Giselle in her olive color maxi dress with floral pattern . The ladies looked absolutely gorgeous for the night which is soon to get started .
