Baby Shower

On Saturday, my sister and my mom's good friend, Dianne, hosted a baby shower for me at the Daily Review Cafe. It went really well and the food was delicious. The menu was the following:

Appetizers (both of these were served for the table):
Mediterranean Plate of Hummus, Tabouleh, Israeli Couscous Orzo Salad, Greek Salad and Pita Bread
Tortilla Crusted Shrimp with Guajillo Sauce and Guacamole

Entree:
Grilled Fresh Salmon or Shrimp Tostada with Refried Black Beans, Goat Cheese, Cilantro Cabbage Slaw, Red and Yellow Pepper Coulis and Pico de Gallo
Seafood Cobb Salad of Jumbo Lump Crabmeat, Shrimp, Avocado, Bacon, Tomato, and Queso Blanco on Romaine with Roasted Garlic Chive Dressing
Quiche of the Day served with a choice of Cup of Soup or Small Green Salad
Oven Roasted Mushroom Ravioli Blended Portabella and Crimini with Roasted Garlic, Onions, Parmesan and Mozzarella with Madeira Mushroom Sauce

Dessert:
Chocolate Whiskey Pot de Crème’
Carrot Cake with Cream Icing
Warm Apple Cherry Pecan Crisp A la Mode

The party started at 11 and we just mingled and some had wine until about 11:30. Then we played "The Price is Right" where you had to guess the price of baby staples such as wipes, baby powder, diaper cream, etc.) The person who guessed the closest price on the most items won. My friend Raven was the big winner (she is preggers too and due early November).

After that we sat down and enjoyed our lunch followed by the opening of the gifts. It was so much fun to get showered! I got a lot of cute stuff and a lot of stuff that will be very useful. I am thankful for everyone coming and the gifts everyone gave!

Here are some pics from the day:
