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