Complement Your Registry
November 27th, 2007 @ 10:32 am by Mrs. Penguin
Like us, you probably registered for a slew of bar glasses, dishes, table linens, and possibly, a table. Here are a few more items to give you an excuse to break out the good china and host a dinner party… maybe Santa will bring them for you?
A cute apron. I like these:
From Left to Right: Wishingfish.com $40, Anthropologie $28, Etsy Seller Dapperduds $25
A few cookbooks I’ve had my eye on:
Alice Waters: “The Art of Simple Food”, Nigella Lawson: “How to be a Domestic Goddess”, Giada De Laurentiis “Giada’s Family Dinners”
Party games that rock your socks off! (cause I never quite grew up… and why would I with games like these?):
Apples to Apples, Catch Phrase, Balderdash
What must you have to make a party (and your registry) complete?

Miss P, I LOVE Catch Phrase!
Such a fun game– with the added fun of violently banging the side of the disk holder to change the word. Well, at least I enjoy banging it violently— some other players find me obnoxious for so doing. Killjoys.
Yay for Balderdash. We played that on Thanksgiving! I also highly recommend any of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. Family style is my favorite though since it seems to have the most cooking stains.
i <3 paula deen and rachael ray cookbooks. and apples to apples rocks! fun
I love all three games you listed! I will forever be haunted by one late night game of balderdash where I pronounced pigeon as “pig-eon.”
One thing that I can’t wait to register for is Fiesta Ware. Bring on the color!
apples to apples is the BEST game for family, friends.. anybody!!! it’s awesome
joyful2, we registered for Fiesta Ware too! Love that stuff…keeps going and going.
We have mispronunciation stories about in our family. My own moment came when I read a lost dog poster and said schipperke “shi-perky”. As a dog person, I can never lives this down.
Oh, Penguin… we were separated at birth.
those aprons are so adorable! and someone actually gave us apples to apples as a wedding gift - i had never heard of it!
Cranium and Taboo are definitely two of my favorite games!

About Me: I'm a silly mess of a girl who, above all else in this world, LOVES the Spice Girls. I eat sushi at least 3 times a week, and feel guilty about how much it costs the other 4 days a week. I love designer jeans and cheap accessories. I don't like sweets, but I love the UCLA Bruins!
i’ve been looking for the perfect gift for my mom this christmas - i love the idea of a cute apron with an artsy cookbook! thanks!
