I'm hosting a baby shower in July and I'm starting to think about the food.

Where do you purchase Lemon Verbena? I do not think I have ever seen it

 

[barb_b]

Amanda, make sure you peruse the menu section. There are some great recipes and ideas; I recall Joe

and jane pulled together some lovely menus for afternoon make ahead events.

Check out garden stores and nurserys to get pots of Lemon Verbena.

I have used orzo instead of the couscous in recipes and it works great.

Or acini de pepe might work also.

I often substitue mint for the lemon verbena.

Was thinking if you skipped the salad, or did a salad on endive kind of option, throw the fruit on

skewars, you could skip tableware for the the savory portion of the luncheon. I love eliminating it whenever possible.

Thanks, Michael. I was wondering the same thing.

I do have a Wegman's here and was hoping they'd have it.

 

[amanda_pennsylvania]

Nice idea.

 

[amanda_pennsylvania]

Yes, I've taken a quick look and will go back for a closer look later.

Lots of good ideas there.
