i have never had bread pudding. is it good??

Did someone say bread pudding? Yum.

My favorite is at Raglan road but we had an awesome Burbon and Pecan one at F&W festival!!

What is even more confusing is English and American English meaning different things!

is there a difference between american bread pudding and english bread pudding?

I don't think so

I am NOT a bread pudding person. I worked at Publix bakery when I was in high school and the bread pudding was always watery and just didn't look very good.

Did they give you the marshmallow, chocolate and peanut bark to try? Carrie posted the recipe once and I made it..anything that has chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and marshmallows can't be bad!!

No we didn't try any bark...we didn't try anything for the DP.

i have never had bread pudding. is it good??

OMG so good! I keep wanting to try it at home.

we have bread and butter pudding.... which is made from stale bread, milk, egg, sulatana and butter... its like a whole family dish thing...

and also a 'bread pudding'.. thats very similar to above, but with mixed spice and sugar and its more of a cake slice thing- my nana makes a lovely bread pudding yum!


its a lovely comfort food!

well the traditional bread (or slightly different made, bread & butter pudding) pudding that we have in the UK is made best from stale hard bread, with butter, a little sugar, an egg, some kind of fruit (like sultanas) milk / cream to cover... and then its baked so its all soft and golden....

its a lovely comfort food!

Can I just say that everything sounds better when it's described as lovely? I wish more Americans would use lovely as a descriptor.

For example, I'm in a lovely mood because I'm taking the afternoon off!

[malibustacey]

Yup!! I think that's the same!!


Ok girls, I need more help. I showed the welcome dinner invites to my mom and she is kind of hurt that Eric's parents names are on the invite. Technically they are paying for it, but my parents also gave us about the same amount of money plus my mom bought my dress. She feels like it looks like the didn't contribute anything.

How do I make everyone happy?

ahhh its tricky! we always have to make everyone happy and not offend anyone .... eek... mmm...

let me have a think! ...

I don't think it's just you, the few English friends I see regularly use lovely. And it sounds so lovely! Even the blokes use it. Am I trying too hard, now?

 

[malibustacey]

i just did a laugh quite loud when i read that at work and now people think im nuts ......

its true though... us brits do use words like that a lot... hehe!

Maybe you can just do...

Amanda and Eric, along with their parents, invite you to engorge yourself with delicious treats and sweets... ​

I don't think a welcome party invite needs to be uber formal, it should be fun! Especially since it is a dessert party. So I wouldn't necessarily write out all of their names. That can be done on the main invite.

 

[Pirate's Princess]

First off, I don't check the boards for a few days, and the I have to spend my whole lunch break catching up on your pj! You are one popular lady!!

Second, I love everything you picked at your ps. The food sounds yummy and I like the flower choices and the decor. Very nice.

And thirdly, how did you use the money your parents gave you? Was it on the wedding itself? Did you include them on the wedding invites...like Mr and Mrs (your parents) invite you to the wedding of their astonishingly popular daughter Amanda, to Eric...etc.

 

[dhay]

Hey lady- If Eric's parents are specifically paying for the DP they should be on that invite. If your parents gave you money towards the wedding they should be on the wedding invites. I think customarily the only times the parents aren't mentioned on invites is when the couple is paying for the wedding entirely themselevs and they are the true hosts. Does that make sense? So if it were me that is how I would break it out. I may be sketchy on the decorum but when I looked it up a year ago I think that was what I saw.

Good luck! Weddings are always touchy subjects with families!!!!

I agree with Dawn...this can be very touchy

I would only put his parents on the DP invite if they are paying for that. Your FIL might be offended if your parents names are on there. Maybe not..I don't know but just because your mother purchased the dress and some other things doesn't automatically mean she gets credit for the dessert party that his parents have said they will take care of. I am sure if you explain to your mother that this specific event was being paid for by Mr & Mrs M, and it would not be proper to include her on the invite she will understand.


If your parents have given money for the wedding, then you could have some sorta thank you in the wedding program, but from what I have read, most of the wedding is being paid by you and Eric, right? Look at theamericanwedding.com. They have several different wordings to use for invites to include parents and bride and groom.


I am glad we paid for everything ourselves! Whew! People get very sensitive about this kinda stuff.

I think on the wedding invites- together with their parents examples Besty provided (if you guys are paying for most) covers it. I like that and then everyone should be happy!

 

[dhay]

Lol Engorge yourself


Thank you!!!

The money my parents gave us basically just went into our wedding fund.



Oy...why didn't we elope, lol.

I could add my parents name on the actual invite...not sure how I would do that. I'll have to look up examples. I really just don't want to offend anyone.

Oh and I just learned, my FMIL is wearing black to the wedding.

Black? Hmmm...that's classic...right? You will have a wonderful wedding regardless

Is she a heavy person. I wore black all the time (still pull toward black) because I was trying to hide the fat. Maybe that is what she is doing.
