Baby Shower goodies

Yesterday, I hosted a baby shower in my home for a good friend of mine. I thought I'd post some pictures of food I made for the event.

So I did try the tissue paper carnations a few days ago. While I chose colors in which carnations most likely do not naturally occur, they matched the colors of the baby shower for which I created them. Here's a pic.





Definitely not perfect, but I liked them anyways. Great tutorial here.

I also made these fruit skewers which not only looked awesome, but tasted the same as well. They were all gone by the end of the shower. I loved the way they looked. Gorgeous!





I've had lots of forgettable fruit punches before but the fruit punch I made yesterday was certainly unforgettable. It was the biggest hit of the baby shower. Folks kept asking for the recipe and for more punch when it was finished. Good till the last drop. I gave it 5 stars!

Here are some more pics of the food I made for the baby shower. Egg rolls, Scotch eggs, and meatballs.













All pictures were taken by me.

L O S T

So the series finale of LOST happened yesterday and while the show simply couldn't last forever, I'm pretty bummed about it. I'll miss you guys. My constant Tuesday night companions for six years (Wednesday nights for many of the six). I'll miss you so.

Say whaaaa

Heh heh heh! I just found a former twin, a mini me, me in a past life, no, I'm not crazy, haven't been hitting the sauce even though it's friday, I just re-discovered a pretty old blog of mine!

WOW! Six years ago, for about four months, I had a xanga blog. I honestly thought xanga had deleted the blog for lack of activity but wow, turns out I just forgot login info. For some wierd reason, the username just came back to me a few minutes ago and I logged in to that blog and wow, all my old drama from that period was on there. I only had 4 blog friends but it was awesome while it lasted.

I loved re-reading those old posts, re-visiting the highs and lows of my life circa 2004. it was real, short lived, but fun.

Oh the days gone by...
