Hen Night in Houston

On September 7, a few of my closest girlfriends here in Houston hosted a bachelorette aka hen night (as they call it in the UK) for me. The night began with cooking dinner together. The menu included tomato bruschetta (not shown), tofu-mango spring rolls, tempeh with curried peanut sauce, and a green salad with loads of veggies. Everything was so tasty, the tempeh was a pretty spicy, just how I like it though!


We then moved onto dessert, fondue! We mixed dark chocolate with chocolate soymilk and the result was a rich, yummy fondue. For dippers, we had long-stemmed strawberried and some vegan coconut-covered marshmallows. The marshmallows dipped in chocolate was so melt-in-your-mouth delicious, I can't even describe....



Then I opened gifts, I will spare you many of the details (they were all amusing and mostly PG-13 ). But I did get this nifty shirt with my soon-to-be last name across the front. I think I'll be wearing this the day after my wedding :-)

After some more goofing around, we headed downtown for some dancing. It was a bit short-lived (long story, but one I'm sure we'll all remember), but that's alright since we returned to the house and ended up talking and bonding the rest of the night. I can't thank these ladies enough for such a fun night! My true last night as a bachelorette is approaching quickly. Hopefully I'll get in one more quick update before we head to Boston tomorrow evening.
