A friend hosted a gift exchange party this week. Nicole & Jessica helped me think about what to bring for the potluck (that was very yummy - I wish I knew who brought the mushroom polenta). I tried to make an asparagus tart, but didn't have a chance to buy the "tart" ingredients. So, I planned to bring steamed asparagus. But, the kids had a REALLY tough night - the nuts & asparagus were scorched when I forgot about them in the midst of Greta & Charlie pouring bowls of applesauce on their heads and Ella having an emotional breakdown. I defrosted some cream puffs & picked up brownies on the way & put them on a fancy tray (someone else brought fried chicken & put it on a silver platter so I wasn't alone).
When Nicole was here, she & Jessica also helped me to pick out the gift I brought. It was a little intimidating because I only knew about 4 of the 30 people in attendance:

The rules of the game allowed each item to be stolen three times. The lady next to me was #11 & she had her eye on the hat.

But, she never got a chance because it was "gone" before her pick.
It was a fun evening catching up with friends & meeting new women. It was really fun to see what other people brought. Hot items were serving pieces & cookbooks.
