At the shower today, there was the most amazing collection of food, that I needed to post a list of it. Four women worked together to load the table. The theme of the layout was "Hawaiian Wedding," so there were fish nets, shells, flowered leis, and things to make you think we were having a meal at the beach.
There were slices of cucumber on thin slices of cocktail rye bread, with a bit of fresh dill, and some cream cheese.
Meatballs with the chili sauce and grape jelly sauce.
Hot crab dip.
Fruit on skewers: Pineapple, watermelon, strawberry and grape
Vegetable roll ups.
Chicken salad roll ups with a bit of strawberry, and chive, and a flour tortilla.
Gorgonzola and walnuts with apple slices.
A couple of other dips that I was too full to try, and at least five kinds of crackers.
Broiled shrimp, that were lightly seasoned, and had a creamy dip.
And a plate of crudites: red pepper strips, carrots, grape tomatoes etc.
I know that I'm leaving something out, but I can't remember what it could be.
There were several kinds of punch, and I really should have had more than half a glass of the alcoholic version.
Women do amazing things with finger food. It was wonderful to chat with my family, and have beautiful food, too!
That sounds amazing.
*feels hungry*
Oh gorge yourself....making me get hungry when I'm on week three of my diet of meat vegetables.
The spread sounds lovely.
My heartfelt apologies for making you hungry, Dr. D. There's nothing worse than tempting someone who is on a diet.
I pormise that I won't be writing about fattening food for the next two weeks. I'm trying to diet, too. :-(
