Betty's Bridal Shower

1/10/11

I had the pleasure of being invited to my good friend/client/bride-to-be, Betty's bridal shower.  A Manhattan Beach residence was the perfect setting for a lovely afternoon dessert party to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Betty+Elliot.

The beachside, spanish style home was decorated beautifully by hosts the maid and matron of honors, Michelle & Annie.  They planned out  an awesome day for the for the ladies in attendance.  Let me just say now.... as a person who lives WAY further inland, the weather could not be more perfect for this special slightly chilly beachy day. My cousin, Chef Jan-Michael, put out a TO DIE FOR, mouth savoring, nom-nom kind of spread.  His love  & passion for food shined through & through & for sure brought huge smiles to the ladies faces & stomachs.  As favors, the maid & matron of honors sent each guest home with pickings from the dessert table.  I know I left happy, super FULL of deliciousness & sugar!  My choice to indulge was was killer on my hour & a half drive home.  I just wanted nap time.

I made it home safely.  CONGRATS again to Betty+Elliot!  I can't wait for your wedding day!!

Can I borrow that book too?  As a Filipino-American woman, I only know how to make adobo..... oh AND steamed rice. Ok.Ok. I cheat, I use the rice cooker.  I'm such a horrible Filipino.


Risque business..... OoooOoooo La Laaaa!
