Stork

My sister-in-law Roxana is have a little boy in about 2 weeks. My sister-in-law Nicole, who lives in Boston, is have a baby girl in about 1/1/2 months. I have been helping Roxana get some stuff ready for the baby. We had a baby shower today for her and last week I helped her sew a crib pad. This is how the crib pad turned out.

My friend Heather puts on great gatherings with delicious food. She gave me all the ideas that I used. I made fruit pizza, fruit with a yummy orange dip, pinwheels and asparagus wrapped with prosciutto.
Here is the recipe for the asparagus wraps:

1 pound asparagus (about 19 stalks), trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 to 8 paper-thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Snap the dry stem ends off of each asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.

Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.
