Oct. 18th, 2008 02:30 pmOkay: that was an incredibly successful party. The mothers-to-be had blitzed, happy expressions on their faces the whole time, and the guests were all overflowing with joy for them.
The food was great. The quiches turned out perfectly, and warming them up at party time went very smoothly. I tried two of three, and they were both good, although next time I make the goat cheese and tomato one I may use a more strongly flavored cheese than chevre. Although I don't know - it was tasty, just subtle. There's plenty of tossed salad left, but the zucchini bread, fruit salad, and punch are pretty much gone. There were two quiches left over, so I guess I overestimated how much people would eat - but I sent the leftovers home with the mothers-to-be, who were grateful to have them. The bakery cake was even cuter than I thought it would be, and tasted delicious. It tasted like a real cake that real people made.
There will be pictures, because people promised to send me copies.
I am sooooo exhausted.
A nice thing about having most of the guests at your party be women in their 50s-70s is that they kept cleaning up, all through the party. We'll have a lot of dishes to wash, but they pretty much kept up with the disposable dishware.
I wasn't precisely sure how the game would go over, but it was a big hit. Except that I seem to have made the questions too easy, because every answer was shouted out immediately - sometimes before I finished reading the question. Even the ones I thought were hard. Oh well - people seemed to have fun with it anyway.
I'm including the quiz under the cut in case anyone wants to play along at home. If you get #12 without Googling, you win - it was a question tailor-made for the specific crowd attending this shower.
