Does it get much prettier then this Pear and Rhubarb Waldorf Salad? Not to mention that it is at tasty as it is pretty. That's why it makes the prefect first course to this styled-out wedding shower. This extravagant party took place at our friend's, the Maule's, house. Before the guests arrived we had a photo shoot staring their beautiful daughter Ruthie and a precious baby goat that was born that afternoon. Yes! This darling baby goat you see below is only a few hours old.
