Roses Are Red

By Aqua. Hi! Well, most of the day I was at the Hadassah Kick- Off Brunch event. The president of our group, who we're friends with, drove my mom and I. Which was very nice. :D Mom made a tallit set as a donation for the raffle. It was kind of cool that a lot of people wanted it. The only downside was they didn't say her name when they presented it like everybody else. They just said and here's a beautiful purple tallit set. Kind of made me disappointed in them. -_- But, at least she put some of her cards next to it on the table, and the person who drove us is thinking of mentioning that my mom made the tallit and about her website in the next Hadassah newsletter. So, at least she'll have a bit more publicity that way.

The food was awesome! There was a salad with apple slices, gargonzola, spinach (I think?), and a nice sweet dressing. There were lots of fruit, like melon slices, orange slices, grapes, and more. Also they had an assortment of scones and muffins. They had a sort of squash medley, which I'm not a fan of squash, so I didn't have it. They had blintzes with some mango and blueberries on top, which were good but a bit too sweet to me. :P The last thing they had was salmon in very good creamy almost garlicy type sauce, with scallions on top. XD For drinks there was decaf and regular coffee, cranberry juice, tea, and some other fruit juices. Oh, and they had little chocolates around each person's place on the table.

The speaker was an actress. She wrote a book, and was talking about it. Her book talked about her family and how she came to be an actress. It was pretty funny and interesting. Also, they gave us a free cookbook after we filled out a paper. It was basically a way for us to go on the list so when ever we go to a restaurant in the city they'll give 5% of what we pay as a donation to Hadassah. Which is pretty cool. ^_^ The cookbook was full of recipes compiled from the restaurants who agreed to donate. We didn't get home until about 3:30 maybe 4. We were out since 9:30 though. That's a huge chunk of the day. But, it was nice to see people and be social. :D
