I am sick. Just when I thought I was feeling better - WHAM! - this cold keeps kicking me in the rear. I got it, then my husband got it, and now I'm not sure if he gave it back to me or if it was lying in wait to jump out from behind my tonsils and yell, "Ha ha! Gotcha!"
My cold only stayed away for a little while. I am having
trouble hearing out of one ear and I think I have drank my weight in
tea. The worst part of having a cold is that my taste buds are wonky.
I'm not hungry because everything tastes like cardboard. Even the
wonderful pumpkin chocolate chip cookies I made on Saturday. Colds to a
food lover are extra awful because you can't enjoy it.Dang.
Anyway, this weekend was full of cooking. My sister-in-law, mom and I threw my sister a wedding shower. It was wonderful and girly. My sister-in-law, sister and I aren't the girliest of girls, but we have our moments when nothing but a good ol' tea party complete with brunch and doilies will do! It was all lovely gold and burgundy (her wedding colors). I'm pretty sure she went back to her house last night and just stared at the boxes.
Here was the menu from the shower to tide you over until I can give you fun recipes involving squash and delicious things. (Pictures coming soon)
