Week-end Roundup

I'm super sick with a sinus infection and therefore not thinking too clearly, so here's a brief update for the week.

-CSA Week 2: This week we got more asparagus and green onions and salad greens, as well as rosemary and mizuna. Never had mizuna before but I am planning on trying it in a salad.

-Planning a bridal shower for my best friend. Aside from the usual issues with family members sticking their noses where they don't belong, I am learning a lesson in over consumption. Disposable plates, forks, knives, spoons, napkins, latex balloons, wrapping paper, etc. We are getting linens instead of disposable tablecloths and I talked the other bridesmaids into a pitcher of filtered water instead of individual bottles. I also came up with an idea for simple wine charms to put on the plastic champagne glasses so that we only need one for each guest. I bought small wooden discs from the craft score that I drilled a hole into. I then painted it light blue and thread a brown ribbon through the hole and tied it around the stem. I am going to use clear labels to put each attendee's name on it. More work, but oh so classy and light on the excess plastic.
