PAUL & SANDY'S ANNUAL WHALE WATCHING & PIZZA PARTY
April 18, 2004


It was a gray and overcast Sunday afternoon and we drove out to the Obester's By The Sea for the annual whale watching party.  This year Paul & Sandy had horns scattered around the place in case of a sighting.


What an array of tasty nibbles were set out on the table!


They also had a nice array of wines (we'd selected a bunch of new things to go along with the golden oldies from their cellar).


Mushroom hunter Henry Moore found what has to be a record-sized trophy.


Marjorie had a prime seat in order to keep an eye open for both wine and whales.




Henry explained to Doug Obester about driving a race car in fire-proof underwear.


I think she was showing him pictures of whales to help in case one was sighted.




The Gemello wine was especially popular.

I can't remember why Sandy wanted to check this guest's tonsils.



More food!


Meanwhile, Jesper was busy with the start of pizza making!



The first pizza!



More Mushrooms stuffed with Sausage.


There was a big plate of cornichons near the various pats, so I wasn't surprised to see Henry Moore by this table.



Meanwhile, the first pizza was ready!

And so was Paul Obester.

The crowd was full of pizza-makers!


It's a modern art project!


Another Pizzaiolo starts working on his blank canvas.



Ecco!


Meanwhile, Jesper made some wonderful "bombas".



Paul roasted some ribs in the oven.

 


More pizza!


Hands on pizza making.
