David's 50th Birthday Bash

Yeah I know I'm a little pizza obsessed this summer, but for big parties it just seems easiest and pizza is always a crowd pleaser. The corn dish recipe is what I used in my corn potato casserole, the Gingered Peach Upsidedown Cake is just the usual recipe (minus the 1/4 cup juice - peaches don't need any extra juice) and I added 2 tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger to the butter and sugar mixture before I layed the peach half into it. Feel free to add more to the batter if you want, in my book you can never have too much crystallized ginger!

I used the same Bluefish pate recipe as I posted last year, although I used 6 ounces cream cheese and 2 ounces Quark this time and I served them with a selection of French, Persian and Onions pickles (the French Pickles really rock!) and some hot out of the oven whole wheat homemade bread.
