surprise! it's someone famous!

so i got hired last week to cater a surprise birthday party for the cousin of the guy who hired me.
he mentioned she was 'kind of high profile' but i didn't think too much of it. i was trying to figure out if it was someone i might know...i knew she was 26, vegetarian, and jewish.

wasn't until about 5 minutes before she was due to arrive at the party that i heard someone say 'natalie' and then i figured it out.

that's right. i catered natalie portman's low-key surprise birthday party. BOOYAH!
she ate my cupcakes and my summer rolls and enjoyed them both.

she did indeed appear to be surprised, and looked very casual in a loose sundress, flip flops, and shower-hair.

woohoo! one day we shall be friends. sigh.

(menu: summer rice paper rolls w/mint-tamarind dipping sauce; artisan cheese and fruit plate; crudite w/greek yogurt ranch and lemon-roasted garlic hummus; sweet cornbread with thyme-fig paste and goat cheese; crostini w/summer harvest corn salad)
