Get Back To You 31 Calm Before Storm - Giselle's Party

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 s.h.i.+ning 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 cla.s.sic 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, cuc.u.mbers, bell peppers and finally feta cheese. Lia helped in preparing the salad. After finis.h.i.+ng 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.
