Here in London, the capital city is certainly getting more spirited about the Royal Wedding by the minute!  The Union Jack bunting has been strung throughout the alleys and shops and British Pride is at its best.   I took a stroll down to Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace this week and saw the press boxes in place.

Let’s commence the salivating as we plan the best part– the menu for our party!  As I mentioned, my friends and I have been cultivating plans for our own little soiree and we’ve been talking about the food for months on end.  I just hopped on BBC’s website to look for visual references for the food we decided to serve, and I was delighted to see that our traditional treats are much the same as the ones they’ve chosen!  Be sure to click over there for more recipes.
