<strong><em>I am happy for Spring asparagus!</em></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On a cookie sheet, fan your asparagus out on the baking sheet. Drizzle the asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little minced garlic (bottled is fine). Give your asparagus a little rub to incorporate all those delicious seasonings into the vegetable. Pop it in the oven and bake them for twelve minutes at 425 degrees. If you like, shave some Parmesan over the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OR</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blanche your beautiful asparagus very quickly, (about 2 minutes) in salted boiling water. Drain asparagus and quickly plunge into an ice bath. Allow 3-5 minutes for asparagus to coll. It will be a beautiful bright green. Take out of ice bath and dry with paper towels. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eat as is or drizzle with olive oil, S& P, slice into 1" pieces and add to salad or you can serve as an appetizer with a lemon yogurt dressing or dip</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

OH, and I am thrilled about gardening! In most areas of the country it is still too early, BUT, we can dream and we can start planning! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Greens can be planted now, if you can turn the soil in your garden. If it's still too hard. plant in pots. Cut the leaves when they are ready, leaving the roots, they will bless you with MORE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try early Spring lettuces, spinach, arugula</div>

Each Krewe has several members and a captain. Krewes are practically a secret society in New Orleans. Throughout the year, the Krewe builds floats and holds meetings in secret, on the day of their parade they ride as masked riders. Every Krewe holds their own parade leading up to Mardi Gras, There are now dozens of Krewes. Each Krewe has its own style, such as The Muses- an all female Krewe or Bacchus- a Krewe famous for its “super floats” and </span><span class="linksmart_marketplace" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: 'Open Sans'; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;"><a class="linksmart_marketplace" data-ls-seen="1" href="http://parade.condenast.com/263830/jerylbrunner/as-the-tonight-show-begins-a-new-era-regulars-reflect-on-johnny-carson/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e73be; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s;" target="_blank">celebrity riders</a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Open Sans'; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;">.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Your engaged!</i></b> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now it's time to build the details of your wedding. You know your theme, you've chosen your colors and maybe the date and venue, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b> But what about your wedding party? </b>This can be the most stressful decision you make, because you certainly don;t want to hurt any one's feelings. If you have siblings, it's a no-brainer (provided you get along!) </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Wait until you have chosen your date before you ask people to be a part of your wedding party. If your wedding is a year or more away, you may not have the same feelings for that person or there may be a conflict of dates, where that particular friend may have a major event prevent him or her from participating.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. You don;t have to choose siblings! Maybe your not that close or your sister cannot fulfill the duties of a maid or matron of honor. Invite her to be a bridesmaid instead. Do you have a brother you are very close to? There is no reason he can't be your MAN OF HONOR.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Yes, you can have 2 Maids of Honor or one Maid of Honor and one Matron of Honor or Man of Honor. Maybe you want to honor your brother and sister, so the Maid (Matron) of Honor and Man of Honor gives both siblings a special place in your wedding. <i><b> ** When I was married, my husband had his 2 sisters stand up for him as his "Best Ladies"</b></i></span></div>

<strong>Horse (Birth Years: 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)</strong></h3>
<div style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Verdana;">
Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse enjoy exploring and their independence. They are honest and enjoy holding meaningful conversations with others. Horses enjoy traveling and a change of scenery. Their family and friends may view them as drifters because of their constant need for a new environment. A weak quality that the hose holds is that they can come across as self centered; this can lead to them having a difficult time making friends. Sticking to a routine for an extended period of time can easily bore them. Horses enjoy careers where they can interact with their co-workers freely; a quiet office is not their cup of tea. They easily grasp new concepts, and are reliable when it comes to meeting deadlines. Their spontaneity keeps their partners interested in them, but they have a tendency to fall in love too quickly. The best love matches for Horses are Dog or Tiger.</div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;">Chinese New Year celebrations mark a new beginning. Houses are aired out to get rid of last year’s bad luck, and they are decorated in red, which symbolizes good luck and fortune. Family members gather to give children red envelopes full of money for good luck. </span></div>

(Do not cook the dumplings at a rapid boil or they will break open.) Add the scallion and spinach leaves and continue to simmer for about two minutes longer, or until the dumplings are heated through and the vegetables are tender enough.<i>Courtesy of the Tasty Kitchen</i></div>

Make a bottle of simple syrup to replace the sugar used in the drinks. Consider the CHAMPAGNE PUNCH served in a large punch bowl. You may want to write or print recipe cards for each cocktail. Your guests can serve themselves , experiment with new cocktail combinations and enjoy lively conversation.</span></i></b></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>WHO TO INVITE?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are hosting a small, intimate cocktail party or dinner at home or a restaurant, invite <i>parents, close Family Friends, your Bridal Party.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you going all out and having a large affair, inviting your parents friends, extended family , coworkers are invited in addition to those you would invite to a small party.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Keep the number of people on each side equal, unless the Brides Family and the Groom's Family are each holding parties.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not everyone at your engagement party needs to be invited to the wedding.Get the word out that you will be having a small wedding. (You WILL be asked a lot of questions about your wedding details!!) It's not necessary to divulge everything, you may not even know what you plans are! This is a time for your parents to brag and for you and your Fiance to enjoy the Celebration.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can have anything you want, just don't upstage your wedding. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What would you enjoy? What's your style? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Depending on the time of the year, you could have a backyard BBQ. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Brunch is also a wonderful idea, most people enjoy brunch, either at home or a restaurant. Who wouldn't enjoy a wine , Beer or Rum tasting party?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> You may enjoy a more formal cocktail party or a full sit down dinner. Consider decorating in your wedding color scheme or give a litte peak at your wedding theme.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If one or both of the families have a strong ethnic or cultural background, consider serving some of their foods at your celebration.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You may want to register for some SMALL GIFTS before your engagement party, even if you don't want gifts. Someone will always bring something. Wait until after the party to open gifts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You do not have to have favors, they are not usually expected, except in some cultures. It is a nice gesture and memory of such a special event. Pretty boxes of homemade treats are a favorite favor. Have printed ribbons made with your names and date to make it extra special. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OK, I admit I WATCH the REAL HOUSEWIVES series! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Of course, the weddings are my favorite. After all, who doesn't enjoy a wedding?!? There is certainly a plethora of weddings this year, great for <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/">BRAVO'S</a> ratings, I guess. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These weddings are so over the top, but there are some<i><b> great ideas</b></i> we can use and modify.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I LOVE the idea of an<b> ALL WHITE BRIDAL PARTY!</b>! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">These ladies chose their gowns to suit their personality and body type. Everyone looked lovely because they felt good in their custom gown. <i> Now, that brides are choosing to wear color, the all white bridesmaids dresses make sense and provide a fresh, clean background for the bride!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So many brides are choosing to have a reception dress or 2! Personally, I don't understand this, because you only get to wear a fabulous bridal gown once (hopefully!), so why not wear it for as long as you can! When you think about it, the reception is the time to really show off that fabulous dress you said YES too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>BLING AND SPARKLE</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
