I normally don't write blogs based on other peoples blogs, but I couldn't help it this time.
I occasionally read the blog of a sorority sister who is getting married, so her blog is all about wedding planning. Since I just recently planned a wedding, I like to see what others are doing for theirs.
This is not a critique on her planning, just on this website she posted. And maybe I don't understand it fully, so if you have better insights, please feel free to share them.
Her post was about what to do with her wedding dress after the wedding. She came across this website which will make a custom drawing of you in your dress for $425 + shipping. Maybe it's just me, but I don't get it. I just spent thousands of dollars on a photographer, who took many beautiful pictures of me in my wedding dress. Wouldn't it accomplish the same thing to hang a picture of you in your wedding dress to remember what it looks like?
Am I missing something?

Buttery Deliciousness
I love chicken pot pie! Part of it is that i like chicken and vegetables covered in goop. I also love crust. It's buttery and delicious and it makes everything better - eggs, pumpkin, pudding, etc. Anyway, I made a Hungry Girl chicken pot pie recipe that is healthier than the regular, only 4 WW points per serving (which is 1/4 of the pie!).
The recipe was pretty good. Instead of a bottom and top crust it is just a top crust made from crescent rolls. So you do get some buttery goodness. The filling was really good, too. Lots of veggies and chicken. I think my main problem (which I have only myself to blame) is that I was expecting a crunchy crust, like from a pie shell, which you aren't going to get from a crescent roll, unless you burn it. But, once I readjusted my expectations after realizing that, the taste was good.
I would like to tweak it to see how it would work to use part of a pie crust as the topping instead of the crescent roll. I would have to see how that would affect the points value and how it would cover the top of the pie. You can roll the crescent roll out really thin to cover the top, and I'm not sure how thin you can roll the pie crust out - it will be an experiment!
Another alternative would be to heat the veggies, chicken, and cream of celery soup until hot, bake a crescent roll (in crescent shape) and serve it on the side!
