Wedding Ceremony And The Monday Spice Collection Series Announcement

As written couple of days ago, I was honored to participate my sister´s wedding. Not only participate, but also to be her witness ... AND her best maid. The wedding, of course, was a lot of fun and excitement. I have never been to a wedding before (let alone one when I was a little girl who hasnt remember much), so for me this was something completely new and unheard of. Plus, I am a big city girl, what do I know about village (ok, little town) traditional marriages.... BUT!
No words will say more than those I wrote down in order to explain those 48 pics I took that evening. But here, have a look for yourself:

... or watch it on the ´big screen´.

Wasn´t that just great? I just love all the symbolism and the overall ´happy´spirit. Let my little sister stay like this for the rest of her life :0) (hugs)

As for the wedding gifts, I (of course) could not have helped myself but spice up her marriage from the very beginnig. Following the good ol´Love Goes Through The Tummy saying, I decided to enrich their kitchen life with the following:

A genuine Chinese Wok with spatulas and a little hand-made WWW (World Wide Wedding) Wok recipe booklet, a collection of home-made herb and spice mixtures, a candle-heated serving pot and a hand-made double-sided ´I do´apron...

Here are the favorites:















I have received many positive replies to this gift, which made me think that if I can do it, YOU can do it just as well. In this respect, I am starting my Monday Spice Collection Series:

• Part 1 - Herb de Provence
• Part 2 - Curry Powder
• Part 3 - Cajun Spice Mix
  
• Part 4 - Five Spice

And as a bonus, the 5th Monday will be dedicated to something non-cooking related. I figured we do not have to cook ALL the time. We can sew for a change, ... just so we can cook even better (or at least looking cutier :) in our new:

• Double-Sided Wedding Apron

Meantime, enjoy the slide show and stay tuned for the next Monday´s recipe.
