Getting ready for a wedding reception has been something that has terrified me since I first had a daughter! My talents seem to fall more in other areas than entertaining, cooking and decorating. Yesterday I began making the traditional cream cheese mints for the reception. Being raised on a mint farm, we had handmade mints at my wedding reception and the receptions of many of my siblings. I have happy memories of sitting around the table and making these candies together. There is something so grounding about adding a little actual Marshall Farms mint oil to my daughter's mints. When she popped in yesterday in the middle of my mint making, it made my day as she explained to her husband that this is something she had to have in her wedding reception. Traditions really help! Luckily, he liked them too. I feel just a little more relaxed about next week.
