Michael7979 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Since the Xmas party is this coming Sunday the 17th. Thought it would be a good idea to share what side dishes we are planning on bring to the fiesta!! I'll go first............. we'll be bring some deviled eggs. Maybe something else, if we do I'll post it later. Start adding to the list so we can see whats on the menu. Quote
Nyles Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Unless I change this, I will probably do a large bowl of 7 layer dip and various chips. Maybe a surprise or two as well. Quote
reefgeek84 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Wish I could make it...My mother's birthday is that day... Quote
andy Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Depends what dies in the tank the day before... Quote

Nyles Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Nah, I was thinking maybe bringing taquitos to, or crab dip. Quote
BADBaxter Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Smoked salmon dip, Olive tapenade and a few pounds of Dark rich handmade chocolates... most likely Grand Marnier White chocolate truffles, Super dark truffles, Rasberry creams and coconut almond thingys.... Quote
Lowman Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I will be bringing some veggie trays and maybe a fruit tray and some nut trays. Quote

Queen Angel Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Im bringing lasagna.. mmmmm.....homemade chocolates! Im there! Tammy Quote
R-3 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Man there is gonna be some good eats!! I gotta figure something out. Later Ryan Quote
spayne Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Man there is gonna be some good eats!! I gotta figure something out. Later Ryan I'm in the same boat. I'm thinking there's a shortage on sides and sweets. Well, not a shortage... but they're not as well represented as the other courses! Is anyone else doing the "white elephant gift exchange" or is Jay the only one that bought something for it? (laugh) Quote
Ronjunior Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I'm bringing an elephant gift. How about someone making spanish rice and/or beans since we have a few of us bringing Mexican food. Quote
cyenna Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I'm not going to the party but would truffles be allowed even though they have alcohol in them? i make a mean raspberry truffle. is there anyway I can enter the raffle without attending? What if I drop off truffles? Quote
spayne Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Well, I guess I'd better find a gift for the exchange so three of us can do it at least! (laugh) That's what I'm between, beans for the Mexican food (God bless each and every one of you, I love Mexican cuisine!) or stuffing to go with the two turkeys that Jay brought home tonight (along with the two hams). Cyenna, those truffles sound heavenly! I'm not sure how that would work with the liquor in them. Amusing story that ties in with that... we went to the Christmas Expo up in Portland a few weeks ago and someone was peddling "Medicine Balls". Because they have liquor in them, I was asked if I was old enough. At 36, I never thought I would be carded ever again! I think the Milwaukee Center has a no alcohol clause, someone else may chime in that's more in the know. Not sure if you can enter the raffle and not be present either... but again, hopefully someone more in the know will chime in. Quote

You're just that youthful looking to be carded! I look the same as I did when I was 12 - I alllllways get carded. DOH! Quote
Queen Angel Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Im bringing a gift.... just got to find one first. Man, the those rasberry truffles sure sound good. Maybe we can sneak out to the parking lot to have one. LOL Just kidding. Quote
dippin61 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 im 28 and get carded to buy R rated movies still, and me and the wife went to see a movie in the theater not long ago, i get carded and she didnt, and shes younger then me :p Quote
Nyles Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 funny, me and my wife are 28 I never get carded for anything, she can barely go to movies or dinner without getting carded repeatedly. On a side note STACEY do you need me to bring anything work related? Like a warmer, convection cooker, hot plate or anything like that? Quote
dippin61 Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 yeh.. im half korean so i have the perpetual 17 year old look i guess lol. although, id prolly card myself too.. i really dont look close to 28 at all. lol Quote
Ronjunior Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Wife just asked me a good question; are drinks taken care of? She also asked if she needed to bake a desert... I'm sure nobody would say no to that. Quote
spayne Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 yeh.. im half korean so i have the perpetual 17 year old look i guess lol. although' date=' id prolly card myself too.. i really dont look close to 28 at all. lol[/quote'] Whatever it takes to look younger as far as I'm concerned! I'm just surprised that I was asked if I was old enough what with all the gray hair I have. I've given up the battle with the dye bottle a year ago. (laugh) Nyles, give Jay a jingle and see if we could use any of that stuff. From what I understand there's a full working kitchen... but as for the other gadgets, they could come in awfully handy! Yeah, I believe drinks are taken care of. Jay has some 12 packs chilling in the fridge as we speak. I just nudged him awake and he said water would be good though. He only has pop. And Nyles, he said anything like hot plates and chafing dishes would be cool. To keep stuff warm. And I would so not say no to anything dessert related. In fact, I'm all for a clandestine operation of eating liquored up truffles in the parking lot! (laugh) Glad to see we have a few doing the white elephant gift thing. It gets pretty fun when there's a bunch of people doing it. I'll try not to get anything too shocking for the festivities. Quote

(laugh) QUOTE'] OK, well she said she's making some cookie dough truffles and making some German sourcream twists with her mom this weekend and will put a few aside for Sunday. I don't know what it is about the twists, but my own mother and sister have been in quite a tissy over these things in the past few years...fighting on who got more to take home, or who got any at all. My mother-in law Fed Exed some to my sister last year since she didn't get any . Family members special order these things and I stay away, takes too many hours to make. I can take 'em or leave 'em, but you can judge for yourself. The movie Chocolat is coming to mind.....w/ Juliette Binoche... Quote
