And we're going.
YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY!
Yesterday was the bridal shower for his fiancee R. We love R. She's so nice and he's so happy with her.
The shower was at a restaurant named Jane in NYC. I really wouldn't voluntarily go to NYC on a Saturday for very many people, but R is one of them! The food was great - here's what we got to choose from:
Starter
Mushroom Soup - Portobello, brandy, truffle oil
Seasonal Fruit Salad
Main Courses
Shrimp Risotto - lemon, chervil butter, lobster broth
Steak Salad - organic arugula, goat cheese, red onion, beefsteak tomatoes, shoestring potatoes, balsamic vinaigrette
Egg White Scramble - sauteed spinach, goat cheese, mixed greens
Sides for the Table
Spicy Garlic Broccoli
Rosemary Fries
Desserts
Profiteroles - espresso ice cream, caramel and chocolate sauce
Warm Apple Tart - puff pastry, cider caramel, vanilla ice creaam
Mimosa, Bloody Mary
juice, fountain soda, coffe & tea (they also had green iced tea)
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! (I boldfaced my choices!)
Here are a couple of photos from the party...
The gifts

My dessert - I could have eaten 3 plates!
The clock we got her (along with the hamper she asked for - see that HUGE box behind her head!?)
R with my nieces (the groom's twin sisters) and their cousin-in-law (K) on the right, along with the ribbon bouquet they made with the ribbons from the gifts
The party ran from 11:30 to about 2:30 - we got home around 4pm-ish, after we packed the cars to bring all the gifts back to NJ, made our way through Holland Tunnel traffic, etc.
It was a fun party, not without a little grandma drama (she's 95 and a little too used to being the center of attention), but all in all we had a great time and it was a lot of fun spending time with my nieces and my sister-in-law and meeting the bride's friends and family.
Welcome to the family, R (almost!)!!!
