Showers & Such

On Saturday, Spetember 2, Tina & I had a 'Jack & Jill' wedding shower.

Here is the link to our shower photos. The images had to be compressed to save space, but I have full resolution copies here at home. If anyone wants any of these pictures or any of the pictures you saw on display at the shower, let us know! We will be happy to burn off a CD for you and drop it in the mail.

And my popular demand, here is my Grandma Pat's 'pretzel jello' recipe. Enjoy!

Pretzel Jello

First layer:

• 2 cups crushed pretzels
• 3/4 cup melted butter
• 3 tablespons sugar

Mix these together and spread in 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 400 degrees 8 - 10 minutes. Let cool.

Second layer:

• 8 oz. softened cream cheese
• 1 cup sugar
• 8 oz Cool Whip

Mix together and spread over cooled pretzels. Let this layer set in refrig. while making third layer.

Third layer:

• 6 oz. pkg jello - strawberry or raspberry
• 10 oz. pkg. frozen strawberries or raspberries
• 2 cups boiling water

Mix jello into boiling water, add frozen fruit, mix to separate berries. Let cool and spoon or gently pour over cream cheese layer. Put in refrig. until ready to serve. Cut in squares.

I used two pkg. of raspberries and about 1/3 cup less boiling water (because of the juice in the raspberries).

See you at the wedding.

Love,
Pat
