We had such a great time last night here for Heidi's shower. She just looks beautiful.. I love that glow women get when they are pregnant. Their faces are all bright and I don't know what it is, they just look great. Luckily for me, not all 50 people came (that could have proven to be disasterous given my small living space). We had about 20-25 and it was perfect. These little boxes were the prizes for the winners of the game we played (there are some smart cookies out there!) It was an animal name game and the winner received a box of animal cookies, wrapped in these craft boxes. (Thanks, Meggies!)
We had lots of yummy food- Cucumber Dill toasts, Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, Coconut Cake, Fruit & Cheese tray, cupcakes & cookies... so so good. I think I have found a new favorite recipe: Lemonade Mint Slush. I served it last night and it was to die for. Since I am going out of town this evening and won't be back until the 5th, I'm going to post it as this weeks recipe. I don't actually expect you to only have this for dinner, silly. But it's a perfect end of summer drink.
I imagine myself drinking it on my imaginary wrap-around porch on a hot summer night. Watching Henry run around in the cool night air on our imaginary lawn. Not a care in the world.
Lemonade Mint Slush
In a blender, blend:
1 can lemonade with one can water
7 mint leaves
Remove and add the rest of the water as called for on the can. Pour into a large double ziplock bag and place in the freezer. This will take approx 6-8 hours to freeze. You will need to "smush" it every 2-3 hours in the freezer to keep it slushy. Serve in a punch bowl with ginger ale poured on top.
