That's quite interesting. <br /><br />Those games at the shower you attended sound fun, great way to "break the ice," so to speak.

Do you know where this evolved from? <br /><br />This is from wiki:<br /><br />"The custom of the bridal shower is said to have grown out of earlier dowry practices, when a poor woman's family might not have the money to provide a dowry for her, or when a father refused to give his daughter her dowry because he did not approve of the marriage. In such situations, friends of the woman would gather together and bring gifts that would compensate for the dowry and allow her to marry the man of her choice." <br /><br />It evolved from Belgium, a century ago and then brought to the USA...here's the link ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridal_shower<br /><br /> I find it fascinating, customs and traditions.<br /><br />Yes. quiche is a great choice, however your "true" end result, your image along with your post, makes it credible. How may times one is enticed to purchase a simple TV Dinner with "fake" pictures? It's a marketing ploy.Many women said: "Now that's credible!" When looking over your recipe. Yes, I had to admit that I had not tried it... YET. But I said I had compared it to my own recipe, and yours was worth it because of the thickness of your end result.<br /><br />Tea party for a shower theme, sounds wonderful - with fine china, maybe you can organize my future bridal shower Hahaha <br /><br />I loved this recent shower, because we had to wear Garden Party Attire. No blue jeans, shorts, or dress down... dresses, skirts, I had the perfect outfit too. We all compared notes on what we had chosen to wear. No, there wasn't fine china. <br /><br />Now most interesting though, as a mingling tool what these bridesmaids did as a first game. (I hate the games) But this was great... they had a list of the guests with things that the Bride shared about the guests. No names included, a simple thing about them. Example" She rode a motorcycle" stuff like that....Each guest were compelled to ask the women about themselves. This was an icebreaker in my opinion. At showers at many people know each other at first. I recognized where I may have failed in organizing a simple shower, could have been better.<br /><br />Oh yeah! there was another embarrassing game, I was the model where someone had to design a wedding dress onto me with toilet paper... I do not want to see those pictures. It was fun Jen!Meeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449593869378136948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587349639766392624.post-36670548213150591572012-06-12T07:52:13.219-07:002012-06-12T07:52:13.219-07:00Good morning, Jen!

Am scrambling out to get ahead of the lunch hour traffic (some guy is attempting a highwire walk across the mighty Niagara Falls later this week, and this region is bustling with activity around that)hope you and Meesh have a great day in store. Given your visit to three different Malls, Did you happen to wear out your shoes? If so, you would have had a golden opportunity to replace them with a new pair (lots of stores to choose from)Did you guys have something to eat amid your travels?

Quiche is just great. It sounds like you had a really nice time. I have been to 1 or 2 wedding showers/baby showers in the past.

What I did, was also include your image of your masterpiece on the recipe card along with your directions and a link to your site. I also briefly explained who my source was----> YOU. At the shower, my submission was a true hit. Of the thirty guests, this recipe card was the only one that peeked enthusiasm..well I also adorned the recipe card with sunflowers, the bride's theme.<br /><br />Not sure how many bridal showers that you have attended... quite honestly I have been to many, (I <br />have a HUGE family and blessed with many, many friends) I do not like showers.But this one was absolutely fabulous! <br /><br /><br />The guests had to dress within a garden party attire, they held the shower both outdoors and indoors as well... for those who could not stand the heat. I loved the sunshine, What a great day! <br /><br />On Sunday morning, I met with the bride and groom for brunch. It was a serendipitous meeting at http://www.coffeeculturecafe.com/ The blushing bride happens to be the granddaughter of a dear friend, well his daughter (who lives in Huntsville) is my best friend, I decided to have lunch rather than breakfast, for she came far away with her brother... <br /><br />What a day it turned out to be, the soon to be bride happen to recognize us with her soon to be husband while driving along the main drag of the city. They joined us...they sat and we chatted, they ordered we had a great time. And then the groom's parents and a sister drove down the main drag, they spotted us. Yep the party dragged on till 4PM.<br /><br />Sorry that I am ranting, but what a great weekend, how was yours? And thank you for your permission to utilize your recipe! :)Meeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449593869378136948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587349639766392624.post-44548222534373766342012-06-07T20:07:29.826-07:002012-06-07T20:07:29.826-07:00Yeah, I just didn't really have time to make m...Yeah, I just didn't really have time to make my own broth.

You guys work in such close quarters...good thing you are perceptive/sharp enough to differentiate just whose being addressed. Is it a matter of one of you is less outgoing, or could it be the conversational content/subject matter? <===Just thinking aloud, Jen, no need to answer.

Several days ago, had a Campbell's alphabet soup w/Texas toast...had a choice of going with the garlic version or a cheesy version, and given you and Meesh's strong recommendation for the healthy benefits of garlic in another thread, chose the former. <br /><br />Leave it to another Jen to genuinely care about others, and the world around her. Just curious, has anyone ever called you Jenny before? Perhaps your family members, close friends or your special Friend? Have there been moments at work when you and Jen(2) answered someone at the same time?
