Memories of Proms Past

MEMORIES OF PROMS PAST!



For Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH. Be sure and visit her blog to see all the wonderful tablescapes!



My younger daughter, who is a freshman in college, is going to the prom at her old high school this weekend. Since this is not "her" prom, just her date's, I won't be hosting the after-prom breakfast I have had for the last couple of years. So I thought I would stroll down Memory Lane and tour Proms Past!

This was in 2006. The theme was something like "Tropical Beach." This was the first use of my blue and green goblets, which now are used all summer long, especially on our porch! I got them at CVS Pharmacy for 75 cents each. I made punch and served it from the silver punch bowl passed down from my grandmother. I used a paper plaid runner that has luckily survived to this day with no spills!!!







For my centerpiece, I hollowed out a pineapple to act as my vase. I got a mixed bouquet from Sam's Club (back when mine carried flowers) and arranged them in the pineapple.



Thanks for sharing this prom past with me! Sorry to be gone so long from my blog, but life does get hectic!!!!

Be sure to visit Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH for more great tables!

Post-Prom Breakfast Menu

As you might know, I am sharing different elements of my younger daughter's Senior Prom this week.
On Wednesday I shared this. And on Tablescape Thursday, this.

For Foodie Friday I will share my post-prom breakfast menu.
Thank you Gollum for hosting Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum!

Among the offerings was Jewel's Nacho Bean Dip and chips, by request. I didn't think it went with my breakfast foods, but it disappered as always.


Kelly's Praline French Toast Casserole was a big hit, just like last year.





And we also had Donna's Creamy Hash Browns Casserole.



I served soft drinks and fruit juices and water to about 24 hungry teenagers. They all had a good time and it was fun for me and my husband, too!

Don't miss all the other Foodie Friday posts! :D Jewel
