And now the reception report

I forgot to mention the reception they had at St. Paul's after Mass last night. It really was a typical spread for them. I believe their parish kitchen must grow deviled eggs and boiled shrimp on trees, because they are always swimming with them.

For libations, they were serving an iced tea punch, Pelegrino water, and two kinds of sparkling wine, a Frexinet Cordon Negro cava and a domestic wine by one of the famous French champagne houses the name of which escapes me right now.

There were a number of other interesting things, including several very differently and artistically decorated salmon mousses in various fish molds. I also enjoyed some cream cheese covered with a fig preserve and walnut compote and some lemony hummus with pita chips, while Ryan liked the baked brie en croute.
