Completed in 1936 the McAlmon House turned 75 this year and L and I decided to throw it a party. We started early, serving champagne, homemade citrus cured salmon, cheese from Silverlake Cheese and plenty of wine from Friuli. The house received flowers, honey, made down the street, and an incredible Chinese bowl. The cake, courtesy of Valerie, of Valerie’s Confections, was a Bullock’s Coconut Cream Pie that used to be served in the department store tearoom, where I know Victoria purchased her appliances. The last house party of 2011 went down with a roar.
