And it will not be as detailed as the tea. Probably. That said if you have any good big batch crockpot/reheats well soup recipes, pass 'em on!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539617026488590284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315610158828453065.post-38320875768796074172016-01-27T06:04:05.706-08:002016-01-27T06:04:05.706-08:0011 dozen from a 5 dozen batch?!? Wow. The Lord k...11 dozen from a 5 dozen batch?!? Wow. The Lord knew and multiplied your efforts. Again and again! Amazing.<br /><br />And wait a minute- I believe (but I could be wrong!) that you said NEVER AGAIN to the enormous wedding shower throwing in a certain letter to a friend? Fact is- I totally knew you were lying. ;-) It's like when a mother who has just given birth says NEVER AGAIN...no one actually believes her. ;-)<br /><br />So...does this next shower have a theme? And more importantly, how can I befriend your sister in order to score an invite? ;-)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315610158828453065.post-5965796782197825452016-01-27T05:08:15.003-08:002016-01-27T05:08:15.003-08:00If it wasn't for the fact that I knew you want...If it wasn't for the fact that I knew you wanted to see this, I would have given up looking : ) I spent about a month watching pricing stuff and finally concluded that for over 100 people, it was cheaper to make all the bread myself, since a bag of flour from which I could get 5= loaves was only a little more than a loaf of good quality bread. The flour tortillas were soooo good! I'll find the recipe and send it to you on Pinterest. The tea bag cookies were totally worth it but not the recipe I used. It was okay but not wonderful. And oh my gosh, Rebecca, the Lord was totally working miracles while I was baking. I prayed "loaves and fishes" the whole time (my biggest fear for throwing a party is running out of food, we only ran out of cups, but I swiped some from the church stash). The cookie recipe only made 5 dozen and part of the reason I chose it was because I would only have to make 2 batches. I got 11 dozen out of one batch. I made strawberry jam for the scones and only expected 1 and 3/4 quarts and got 2 and 1/2 (that was quadrupled, it was a small batch recipe), the lemon curd made a ton more than expected, and so on. We had so much food leftover that we were sending leftovers home (except for the chicken salad- we tossed that since it was turning yellow and had been out most of the day. No need to send people home with food poisoning .)<br />I'm so glad you enjoyed this, now I have to get cracking on my next sisters shower!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539617026488590284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315610158828453065.post-88029258188532397082016-01-27T04:35:16.979-08:002016-01-27T04:35:16.979-08:00Wow. That is really amazing Bonnie! I am so glad...Wow. That is really amazing Bonnie! I am so glad you wound up finding the post- I was hoping I would be able to see your work. You know how much I love a good theme party! <br /><br />Every little detail was so sweet- from the 'tea cups' to the vintage tablecloths (seriously swoon!) I can't even imagine how long you were in the kitchen- it felt like you baked for ages because...well, you did! ;-) For large parties I usually justify storebought as time savers but that is the lazymans' way. Kudos to you! And roasted red pepper tortillas?!?!? OH.MY.WORD.<br /><br />The idea to have scone fixings on the table was absolutely brilliant. And I love the favors! I planned on making those after seeing them on Pinterest to go alongside tea kits at Christmas and then....never did. Ah well- now I can ask you...were they worth the effort in making? They don't seem TOO finicky, although tying string onto cookies might be a bit mundane.

Cara's will probably be a big one too, it's going to have an Anne of Green Gables feel to it.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539617026488590284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315610158828453065.post-8792995681103832842016-01-21T18:03:08.718-08:002016-01-21T18:03:08.718-08:00 You did a wonderful job!!
