Third Annual Bruschetta Party

Our friends, the Blackwells, always host a Bruschetta party after Christmas.  Everyone makes their own bruschetta and then employees of local restaurants judge them.  There is a popular vote as well.

 The Benvenutos are all about the creative presentation.

Friends Reunited: Katie, Me, Brenna, Kristina

This year I made a Garden Bruschetta which probably technically didn’t  count but it tasted good.  You bake a croissant roll in a round 9” pan and once it cools add a cream cheese spread on top and cover it with chopped vegetables.  Pear Bruschetta was another popular entry this year as well.

 Katie's Cousins

 Winners!

 Katie's little cousin always wins the popular vote with her expert sales skills...she grabs your hand, takes you to try her entry, then kindly asks for your vote. - How could your resist?

 Note Mr. Blackwell's leg lamp tie inspired by the movie, The Christmas Story.

They also proudly display the lamp in their front window.

While I did not win this year like last year, we all enjoyed ourselves and hopefully I will win at the 4^th Annual Blackwell Bruschetta Party next year!
