What is a bridal shower, or any shower for that matter, without the plate of Deviled Eggs? Inevitably someone’s aunt or grandmother brings them, right? Well, I wasn’t going to let Megan’s bridal shower happen without some eggy deliciousness. It’s just necessary. Anyway, yes, it’s Megan, from Country Cleaver, virtual bridal shower!!
Megan and I have been blogging friends for a year or so. We instantly hit it off and were fast friends. She lives in the same state as I do and grew up in the area of the state where I live. That means that I occasionally get to see her smiling face. Case in point, last Sunday. She was on my side of the mountains finalizing her wedding plans and stopped by Casa de Farmgirl on her way back home. We sat on the patio and talked blogging, weddings and life. It’s always great to see her and I look forward to many more warm summer days on the patio when she moves back this way.
Julie from Table For Two Blog sent out an email asking if some of Megan’s online friends would like to get together and throw her a virtual bridal shower. Of course I did…I love Megan (see above). I’m sure you’re wondering what everyone else brought to this party, right? Well prepare your eyes and grab something for the drool.
It’s a wicked list of deliciousness.
Ready?
Ok, I won’t tease you anymore.
