You Know You're At A Southern Shower When You See This Snack On The Table
There’s more than one way to know that you’ve arrived at a shower in the South: the bride’s new name is monogrammed on nearly half the gifts; the baby rattle is made of sterling silver; and the church ladies have cleaned the crystal ‘til it’s sparkling and the china ‘til it’s gleaming. But should you still not be so sure of your geography, one look at the buffet table will erase any doubt. We’ll award ham biscuits and tea sandwiches their due honorable mentions, but when it comes to the one dish that lets you know you’re at a Southern bridal or baby shower, many of our readers voiced this one at the link. #southern #shower #babyshower #bridalshower #showerrecipes #appetizers
Easy Roasted Rhubarb
Roasting rhubarb is a delightfully easy way to prepare this spring vegetable. It becomes tender throughout while holding its shape, and turns vibrantly pink. The amount of sugar may seem like a lot, but trust us when we say that rhubarb needs it. The final result is sweet enough to not make you pucker, but still lets the natural tartness of the rhubarb shine through. The star anise and cinnamon add a subtle warmth and spice that rounds out the dish nicely. #rhubarb #roastedrhubarb #springrecipes #springvegetables
Do People Still Know How To Properly Set A Table?
A more formal table setting might require sliding cloth napkins in napkin rings and setting them either to the left of the forks or directly on the dinner plate. Maybe wine glasses appear in place of those for milk. Then, there's the matter of cake forks and dessert spoons and bread plates; each of those has its proper place, too. In situations like this, when you're bringing in utensils that you may not use on the daily, there's no shame in consulting an expert. If you don't know how to set a table, it's time to call in the reinforcements. We'll tell you exactly where to put the forks, knives, and glasses at the link. #table #hosting #tablesetting #partytips #howtosetatable
