Thank you for visiting

Hi

Want to thank everyone who stopped by to help make my first Blog Party a success.

Sounds like everyone had a good time....

Enjoyed your comments as well as the e-mails. Have no idea why sometimes the comments won't post, very frustrating.

Thought I'd share some that were sent to my e-mail address:

Jann:

You put a lot of work into your Cinco de Mayo feast. Your glassware is wonderful. You made my mouth water for your LV feast with all the wonderful food– yum.

Diane:

Cool party! Got there early and tried to leave a comment but it wouldn't take for some reason. Nice to see Dee and those strawberries look delish. Got the recipe? I'll check back on the party later today as I'm in Marblehead now and it will take awhile to get there! CHEERS,

The idea for the stuffed strawberries came from Paint Diva...she mentioned them on her blog. She mixes strawberry frosting with cream cheese and then stuffs them using a pastry bag with a star tip. Since I'm more into chocolate, tried making them with the Hot Fudge...next time I'll add a little dollop of whipped cream on top and maybe some chopped nuts.

Aunt Pat:

What a bon idée. Thank you for your kind words and I had a wonderful time at your party.

Sue:

Nice blog. You are spending lots of energy on that.

Mary:

What a hoot. I enjoyed the party and tried to leave a comment but for some reason it was not going through. That was very clever. Beth liked it too. I enjoyed reading all the comments.

Jo:

This is too cute

Svein: The "moonshine" you referred to is: Patron Cafe...Coffee-flavored Tequila.
Unbelievably smooth.

Becca: Missed you at work today...hope you are feeling ok.

MaryJo: Nice to meet you. Good luck with the kitchen counters.

Again, thanks to all of you for visiting.

Thank You Gift

Today I received a thank you gift from the sister of a good friend~~~~Cookies

Cranberrry Nut Biscotti

and Pizelles

Okay, I know the rules of etiquette, I must first thank the sister for the cookies before trying them... but, remember these are a thank you gift for something I did, so maybe the rules can be stretched a little? As you can see, I HAVE to sample these cookies ASAP. So, I took the photos and had one of each...and yes, they are as delicious as they look and am now posting a worldwide THANK YOU, BETH.
