Say Yes to Hoboken

  • The Grand Experiment

    Let me preface this by saying I really had nothing to do with this bridal shower party. The concept, execution, etc. Nothing. It was merely held at our home so I took some photos. It was a series of very scientific experiments in taste testing fashion. Lab coats (borrowed from a pharmacist) and clipboards were given out for people to record their findings and then after we had a vote and revealed what brands were the favorite. (Aren’t those beakers pretty with flowers?)
    In most of the experiments there was at least one grocery store brand and one super fancy brand. Plus something else in the middle.The ice creams had dry ice at the bottom to reduce melting. Plus they bubbled up at the top, breaking bad style.One of these bacons was home cured!I loved the rootbeer in the plastic bags. The whole party was a lot of fun. Plus I learned a lot. Turns out Safeway brand honey is way better than the fancy stuff; and I have a new found addiction to Ben and Jerry’s Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.
