These adorable trinket trays are $38.00 each, which includes personalization. </span><br />

hold keys, cellphone and mail or on a vanity to hold cosmetics.
You can choose a background to match the wedding colors or personalize the
pattern to each bridesmaid's home.</span><br />

Another idea: use the tray as the base of the bridesmaid's gift and add a
little bottle of champagne and a box holding the earrings or
other piece of jewelry that you are giving to the girls to wear at the wedding. Wrap in
cellophane and add a beautiful, big bow.<br />

It's a great idea to follow a color scheme throughout all aspects of your wedding from the invitations to the bridesmaids' dresses. So why not make the favors go along with those colors? <a href="http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/wedding-favors.aspx">The Knot</a> is a great source for this sense of harmony and cohesion. No matter the colors that you have chosen for your big day, The Knot has those favors that will make your wedding like no other. Be inspired by pink chocolate covered pretzels or white daisy escort cards that your guests can take home with them. No matter your style, color choice, or preference, you can find a favor that your guests will love.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a crock pot queen. I love "cooking" meals and snacks in the crock pot and at times have more than one going in the kitchen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This recipe is adapted from a Williams Sonoma recipe for lasagna. I made changes to make it even easier. The first time I made it, I really wasn't confident it would be any good, but it was absolutely delicious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those of you with busy lives (that's pretty much everyone) must, must have a slow cooker. Not only will it provide a hot, delicious meal with very little effort, but slow cookers can be used to keep food warm throughout the day or during a party. The clean-up couldn't be easier either. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite slow cooker is about 20 years old and is a Rival. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would suggest one with a timer and one with a "warm" setting. </div>
<br />
<h2>
Ingredients:</h2>
<ul>
<li class="ingredient">1 Tbs. olive oil
<li class="ingredient">2 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed (we use grass fed, organic pork)
<li class="ingredient">2 jars (each 24 oz.) tomato sauce (I used Ragu with chunky vegetables instead of tomato sauce)
<li class="ingredient">2 cups water (I omitted this)
<li class="ingredient">1 lb. whole-milk ricotta cheese
<li class="ingredient">2 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
<li class="ingredient">Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
<li class="ingredient">18 ruffle-edged lasagna noodles (not no-boil noodles)
<li class="ingredient">1 1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, grated
<li class="ingredient">2 oz. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
<li class="ingredient">Thinly sliced fresh basil for garnish </li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Directions:</h2>
In a saute pan over medium heat, warm the olive
oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon,
until the meat is browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and water ( or Ragu) and
bring to a simmer. Transfer the sauce to a large bowl. <br /><br />In another bowl,
stir together the ricotta, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside. <br /><br />Spread a
thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the slow-cooker insert. Cover the sauce
with a single layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (about 3), breaking the noodles
as needed to fit. Spread about 1/3 cup of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Top with about 2 cups of the sauce, then sprinkle with about 1 cup of the
mozzarella and 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Repeat the layering 4 more
times, starting with the noodles. <br /><br />Transfer the insert to the slow-cooker
base, cover and cook on low according to the manufacturer’s instructions until
the noodles are tender and cooked through, about 4 hours. <br />
<div class="directions">
Let the lasagna rest for 20 minutes before serving.
Garnish with basil and serve immediately. Serves 12. <br /><br />From the Williams-Sonoma
Kitchen.</div>

Of course New Year's Eve is a popular time for a little bubbly, but so is a wedding and I'll just bet there is one in your future. In order to make the very best choice for the type of champagne to be served at your wedding, I recommend the website <a href="http://www.henrisreserve.com/">Henri's Reserve</a>. Not only does the site include very comprehensive information regarding champagne, but it also sells champagne tasting gifts. What fun! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on the "Education" tab on their site to get a plethora of information on champagne including </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this easy to follow guide:</div>
<br />
<em>Classifications are used to refer to sweetness (or its absence, called dry). Producers can regulate the sweetness by controlling fermentation. For example, stopping fermentation early leaves some natural grape sugar in the finished wine. Below is a listing for your reference (and yes, Sec usually means dry - but not in Champagne!)</em><br />
<ol>
<li><em> Brut: dry, less than 1.5% sugar</em></li>
<li><em> Extra Sec: extra dry, 1.2 to 2% sugar</em></li>
<li><em> Sec: medium sweet, 1.7 to 3.5% sugar</em></li>
<li><em> Demi-Sec: sweet, 3.3 to 5% sugar (dessert Champagne)</em></li>
<li><em> Doux: very sweet, over 5% sugar (dessert Champagne)</em></li>
</ol>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of the weddings we have planned in the last couple of years have served Prosecco as the "champagne" Prosecco is actually an Italian sparkling wine. In Italy, Prosecco is enjoyed as a wine for every occasion.<sup> </sup></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Outside Italy, it is most often drunk as an aperitif, much like Champagne. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like other sparkling wines, Prosecco is served chilled. Unlike Champagne, Prosecco does not ferment in the bottle and grows stale with time. It should be drunk as young as possible<sup> </sup>and preferably within three years of its vintage, although high quality Prosecco can be aged for up to seven years. Compared to other sparkling wines, Prosecco is low in alcohol, about 11 to 12 percent by volume.<sup> </sup>The flavor of Prosecco has been described as intensely aromatic and crisp, with flavors such as yellow apple, pear, white peach and apricot.<sup> </sup>Unlike Champagne, appreciated for its rich taste and complex secondary aromas,<sup> </sup>most Prosecco variants have intense primary aromas and are meant to taste fresh, light and comparatively simple.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another popular drink at weddings is pink champagne. Normally when they make a Champagne, even though they use "red grapes", they take the skin away immediately so that none of the red color from the skin affects the overall color of the Champagne liquid. In order to make a Champagne a pink Champagne, all they have to do is let the skins sit with the liquid for a short while. The longer it sits together, the more pink the liquid becomes. Pink Champagnes tend to taste a little fruity, but they can be sweet or non-sweet depending on the maker. You'll want to look up the website for a given maker of pink Champagne to know exactly what flavors are in a specific Pink Champagne you want to try. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pink Champagnes certainly make pretty Champagne cocktails too. </div>

With a number of first responders in our family, we pause to especially remember those firefighters and police officers in Newtown, CT who are grieving along with the rest of the country.

Often putting aside emotion during calls in order to do their job to the best of their ability, it would be super human for these emergency personnel not to be emotional about this tragedy. We hope they heal and find solace in the fact that they offer comfort and safety to so many so often.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Traveling can be hectic, confusing, and tiring. But it can
also take you to beautiful, relaxing and interesting places. People travel for
weddings, for work, for fun, for family, and there are a few essentials that we
think everyone should have, no matter where they’re going. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Kindle Fire, Amazon’s newest tablet, is perfect for
reading, watching TV and movies, and playing games. The touch screen is
non-reflective and easy to use, and the colors are vibrant. And if you thought
it couldn’t get any more perfect, brace yourself. It’s small (7.5 X 4.7) and
lightweight enough to slip in your bag (or briefcase) to take with you
anywhere. ($199 on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">www.amazon.com</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="269" data-width="188" height="269" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQkwCIttTiejdMzqDjlBru32kqvwJUsah90iBlmd5V3uJr5XMsTUg" style="height: 269px; width: 188px;" width="188" /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you constantly find yourself in airports that you don’t
know very well, this may be the app for you. Flysmart (Free, from <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flysmart/id376268706?mt=8">www.apple.com</a>)
can download and tell you almost anything you need to know about the airport.
The app can download flight numbers and their gates, terminal maps, and lists
of all of the stores and restaurants. This app helps you stop getting lost in,
say, Atlanta, (what a way to start your honeymoon, searching for your flight!)
and find your gate quickly and without stress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="275" data-width="183" height="275" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQVAdrCCwOXmyc83HHU6bcaLaIHbm37E05k_WQVPRHJlDoMVbTi" style="height: 275px; width: 183px;" width="183" /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once you reach that honeymoon, or destination wedding, what
do you want to do? Take pictures. Beaches in Hawaii, Cancun, the Caribbean…who
wouldn’t want pictures of those? But unfortunately, getting married on the
beach at sunset can make for bad lighting. This little camera, the Lytro,
($399-$499 at <a href="http://www.lytro.com/camera">www.lytro.com/camera</a>) can take pictures in low light, as
well as extremely fast, and you can focus after you take them. This means that
the slight fuzziness of the picture of sunlight hitting a wave behind the happy
bride and groom is no longer a problem. Not to mention all of those pictures of
everyone having a good time at the beach party (which just happens to be lit
only by tiki torches).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="176" data-width="286" height="176" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQY8tF3BmaAjr1F6-BVaVhemGYMEmzM7zVQ06pZ8J1_GYtk8rMs" style="height: 176px; width: 286px;" width="286" /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And if you travel for business more than for pleasure, but
you still have to share documents with people on the opposite side of the
country, then maybe you need this item. The iTwin ($99 on <a href="http://www.itwin.com/">www.itwin.com</a>) is a
USB drive in two parts. You just have to plug it in to one computer and then
take off the other half and give it to someone else. They can plug it into
their computer (or you can plug it in to your laptop) and then you can access
all of the files through the Internet. Traveling for work just got a little
less stressful.</span></div>

Recently, the <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/">Baltimore Sun</a> published an article describing fun ideas for themed bachelorette parties. For those of you who missed the great ideas and looking for a fabulous pre-wedding party theme, here are some suggestions:<br />
<br />
<strong>High Adventure</strong>: <a href="http://www.skydivebaltimore.com/">Skydive Baltimore</a> will take private party groups for tandem skydiving jumps. The plane speeds through the air and climbs as high as 14,000 feet. Just the perfect outing for the thrill seeking bachelorette. The plane takes off from a private airport in Harford County and prices start at $ 239 per person.<br />
<br />
<strong>Thirsty?: </strong><a href="http://www.the-wine-market.com/">The Wine Market</a> in South Baltimore offers private wine tasting events, broken down by region and by season. Tastings feature 5 wines and hors d'oeuvres and range in price from $ 25-32 per person. <br />
<br />
<strong>Sporting Good</strong>: Watch the Orioles beat a rival team from the private Miller Lite Flight Deck at <a href="http://www.baltimoreorioles.com/">Oriole Park</a> at Camden Yards. A minimum of 24 guests and a maximum of 30, can see all the action for $ 40 per person which includes a $ 15 food and beverage voucher. That sounds like good, clean fun.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Artist</strong>: How about a session at the <a href="http://www.thepaintingworkshop.com/">Painting Workshop</a> in Mount Washington to bring out your inner Picasso? A still life set-up and instructions are included, and for $ 225, you and your friends get two hours to paint away. <br />
<br />
<strong>Time to Eat:</strong> How about a private cooking lesson from Baltimore Chef Nancy Longo? For a group of 8 or more, on a Sunday or Monday afternoon or evening at her restaurant <a href="http://www.pierpointcatering.com/">Pierpoint</a>, she will teach a new recipe or cuisine. Classes are $ 75 per person and include alcohol.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What a great idea! Why didn’t we think of this? For those wine lovers out
there, your dream has come true. <a href="http://blackboxwines.com/">Black Box Wines</a> has created on-the-go adult
juice boxes. You no longer have to worry about carrying wine glasses or a wine
opener, just twist and sip. The small 500ML box with environmentally friendly
packaging allows you to take your <a href="http://blackboxwines.com/">Black Box Wine</a> with you everywhere you go. Perfectly priced at $5 per box and available in different flavors, we have a feeling that this will be a new trend for summer/fall 2012.</span> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
