Sorry I've been AOL lately! Yesterday I had 12 ladies here for bridge and I was busy getting ready for that. I made a delicious Raspberry Pecan Green Salad but the big hit was the Raspberry Dressing I made. It came from a beautiful cookbook that my Texas girlfriend, Sharon gave me many years ago. Here's the recipe if you want to give it a try:
1/3 C seedless raspberry jam
1/3 C raspberry vinegar
1 C veg. oil
1 Tbsp poppy seeds
Combine jam and vinegar in blender or food processor and blend for 15-20 seconds. With blender on high, gradually add oil in a slow, steady stream. Stir in poppy seeds. Chill well before serving. Enjoy!!
Today I made chicken salad and a coconut cake to take to Bunco tonight. And tomorrow we are going out on the boat with a group and I have to come up with something to take and share for that! It may just be crackers and cheese this time!!
In my spare time from cooking, I have been playing around with my new goodies from Stampin' Up. I used the Mosaic Madness stamp and punch to create this card:
I love pink and green together!! The card uses Pretty In Pink and Certainly Celery (boo-hoo - retired!). I embossed the white piece with the Mosaic embossing folder and put the punched mosaics in the indentations. I used the Itty Bitty Shapes punch for the little flowers in the center and used the Owl Punch for the tiny circles in the center of the flowers (with my tweezers!) I embossed "happy birthday" in Melon on the green piece punched from the Modern Label Punch.
