Because I don’t have a sweet tooth, I decided for my boobie bake off entry I would enter a shrimp pasta bake. My original idea was that I would bake shrimp with sundried tomato pasta. Well, I couldn’t find sundried tomato pasta, I could find it as part of a trio, but not by itself, so I bought plain lingunie and I added red food coloring to the water – the pasta came out PINK! and of course shrimp turns pink when you cook it so here’s my entry to the boobie bake off: “pink” pasta with shrimp and feta and a tomtato/parmesan sauce.
I also made “church punch” which is just sorbet and ginger ale and my friend Heidi contributed blau-kraut which didn’t so much turn out pink as red which is, I guess, how it got its name – literally translating as blood-kraut, but still – we tried for an all pink dinner: points for trying.
i must say that our pink dinner was very delicious. the pink pasta (though it looked a bit like worms) was soooo tasty! the shrimp was cooked to perfection. my blaukraut was good – but the tastes didn’t gel too much with the italian theme. no compaints here

You were so creative to come up with a pink themed dinner for this event…I love it! And the Church Punch is a cute idea too.
