He may be your date MOFF but he has promised me at least one dance and is penciled in for the first Hokey Pokey on my dance card ;) I think we should think about a huge Smorgasbord for our New Years celebration with some of the best snack-a-roos from over the last year. Boy, we have had some goooood stuff here at Thursdays.. food and drink, so let's just browse at the ol' groaning board and re-live some of the best moments.. :cool:
That's ok! I'll be glad to share our little dancin' machine with you and everyone!Quote:

Boy, Laurie, did we have a lot of goodies this last year!! I'll take one of everything!
Any ideas for a dotd?
OR
We could dump all the dotd's from the past year in a big vat together and have a massive headache/tummy ache? ;)
We could call it a slurpie!:D
SUMPIN TELLS ME DUMPIN' DA DRINKS IN ONE BIG VAT IS MEBBIE NOT SUTCH A GUD IDEA TUMS TUM TUM TUM BLAHHH
Oh, no! Not a Hairy Buffalo. That's what we used to call it when you mixed everything together. In Wisconsin they call it Wapatuli (sp?)
This could be dangerous. I think I'll do something less destructive like work on the fire. Sounds like a good day for shrimp on the Barbie and some onion rings.
Maybe we could call the drink the Ultimate Slushie?
"Ultimate Slushie" is liable to give the "Richard Slushie" a bad name. His are divine, this mixture sounds volitile :eek: Shrimp on the barbie was a definate winner, as are the onion rings. I thought my corn fritters went over quite well also. I think we should stay away from "Tom the Cat"'s Romanian specialties for these festivities. They sound a bit too much like that nasty "Black Pudding" from a few weeks ago. YUCK!
Hey you all beat me here I have streamers,hats,and party poppers here in this bag.sets huge bag on bar In this one my usual New Year treat a couple summer sausages and cheese with crackers.Also so veggies and dip. tring to stick to my diet need to get blood sugars down again
Don't we have champain for new years at midnight. oh man do I have to go down to the wine cellar (yuck ) its almost as creepy as the lost and found! Ges I'll go check on supply Mario want to come with me?
Hey everyone! First off, Laurie...how are you feeling? Can you talk yet? If you are up to it, how about making some of your famous crab cakes?:)
As for putting the DOTD's into one mix......yuck!! A short story: when I was about 21 I went to a parteee just across the border (Pt. Roberts) with two guys that I knew. I remember arriving, I remember seeing all the guys dumping rum, vodka, rye and other stuff into one big punch bowl. I remember having my first drink. I remember having my second drink. Next thing you know I'm the princess of porcelain. Hours later I remember being dumped in my own bed....don't remember how I got there.:eek:
So on that note.....I'll just take an ice water for now.;)
Champagne, please!!!! :) And Laurie, I want "crab something" (bisque, cake, anything). :D
My little Bennie bird is moving out tomorrow and going to live with Amber (CamCamPup33). She is so excited! I'm going to miss that little fellow, but I know he is going to a terrific new home. :) So let's toast Amber and Bennie!!
Logan
Corinna, I like the idea of veggies & dip! Gotta keep my sugar down, too! Corinna, I'll go down to the wine cellar and see if I can find some champagne. You're right it is almost as bad as the L & F!Quote:

Thanks David but Mario and I just counted and do you think 40 bottles is enough for this crowd? Don't just feel like your being punished at the holidays becouse if you eat your in trouble if you don't you feel like an out cast ? It sucks you'd think after 8 years I'd feel better about it I don't!!!
Corinna, I'm a borderline diabetic. I feel like there is temptation all around me. I'm not allowed no white bread, no white pasta, no white potatoes and no white rice. Splenda is my buddy. I also take Metformin. Corinna, it's a struggle! BTW, how much sugar is in champagne? I think forty might be enough, but bring up maybe a couple more just in case!
My vote is for champagne too. Surely 40 is more than enough! :eek: Didn't like the sound of that Harry Buffalo stuff. Last week's drink was a Harry Buffalo all on it's own! Ooh, Laurie, I'd love some of your crab cakes too, although Lynne's black pudding was wonderful - trust me.
A toast to Amber and Bennie - Long Life and Happiness! :D
"Just in CASE" David? Cases? I don't think so. Fun is fun but no knighting the porcelain this night. A glass of bubbly with a single strawberry. (OK Mario, a cherry :rolleyes: ) Cheese?! OBOY! Remember some of those wonderful German & Dutch cheeses we had? Let's make a platter of cheese and really good crackers and chewey bread, maybe some sausage or smoked salmon to pick on.. OH THIS IS GONNA BE YUMMY.
Lauries Eastern Shore, Chesapeake Bay crabcakes, YOUR ON. Oh boy, Logan? You have to be here and BRING THE OLD BAY!:D
Well that all sounds wonderful Laurie, I'm very partial to cheese and smoked salmon, but does this mean you are not going to make your crab cakes? :eek:
No prob KK, but you know what I did Christmas morn? I put my crabcake stuff inside a PuffPastry and thought it would go over (maybe something special?) WOW, WRONG! My son thought it was to "froo froo and yuppie" and scooped the crabcake out :rolleyes: He was right, simple is better :cool:
Uh, laurie? I meant two BOTTLES, not two cases! I promise I won't go near there!
David I have been a type 2 for 8 years I was on metformin for a while but it stopped working for me , the new med was $23.00 a pill. I watch what I eat and have found a combination of herbals that do the same thing(organic substances that were synthitcs of the pill) but I really have to watch it. Doc says lose 30 more lbs and I shouldn't need the Meds.
Hey how is the decorating going? Do I need to get more of any thing? How about a little CCR onthe jukebox?
Now, you're talking, Corinna! Play everything by CCR! I like every song that they did!
Are you still the DJ, David? Get that juke box going and come and tell me your New Year's resolutions!
Karen, I might play some Simon & Garfunkel, too! And I take requests. My number one resolution is to get back to my diet in 2005!
Yo David!
How about a little Peter, Paul & Mary.
RICHARD,
Pour me a double stiff one. Preferably Stoli's or Absolut. As of Jan 2, my drinking comes to a halt.
Donna, I'll put Peter, Paul, and Mary s songs in there just for you. I love "Blowin' in the wind".
Please "Play the Boxer" Well I woke up to 6 new inches of snow. and still snowing, My car is down so I have to walk to the store. I'll be back a little later.
Will do, Corinna!
Hi everyone...
Busy today and My home monitor was a victim of the rain.....
It died.....
But Hey....things could be worse....
A mass DONE for everyone....I'll be back later...
I hate that, Richard! :( I just "freecycled" a 19 inch monitor last week that had been sitting in my office, unused. Too bad you weren't closer and I could have "freecycled" it to you! Today's "freecycling" consists of a computer keyboard going to a girl who has some keys not working on hers and an old HP printer that a lady needs. I like freecycling! (www.freecycle.com)
Hope your day gets better!
Logan
Hi, everyone!
WOW! The decorations look great!
I see Mario has even polished his dancin' shoes! Look! He can see his cute little face in them!
I'm having gingerale with a cherry or two and some nachos!
I'll share!:D
Hi everyone! How are you all doing today?? The place really looks great!! Did Mario have a hand in the decorations? I know Monkeys are great at decorating, Mario and his late wife done my house in yarn one time, it was great! Just the wrong time of the year!
Would a Hot Buttered Rum be too much trouble?
Willie:D
Make sure you throw a few cherries to Mario but just don't let him spill cherry juice on his shiny shoes ;) He does like that noise maker doesn't he.. boy oh boy, someone better take it from him before we all end up with headaches before the party even begins :rolleyes: HI WILLIE * waves * Hot buttered rum for you. hmmm, sounds good.. I believe I'll join you.
lololol...
I think that Mario deserves his own decorating show!
Two HBRs for tray and Laurie.
MOFF,
Gingerale, nachos and CNTs for the boys!
DONE!!!
Logan,
Thank you for the kind thoughts......I left the window open and the water got in.....Darn cat....with no opposable thumbs he couldn't help me!
I think that a applicable song, with all the water related torment lately should be "bridge over troubled water"..No pun intended.....it's just appropriate!!:(
Moosmom......
ABSOLUT-ELY..................... DONE!!!!;)
Wow you guys really did the place up. I'll take one of those HBR . I just walked back from store .27 degrees (F) wind blowing and its still snowing. I hope the machanic gets my car done soon.Hi Willie so glad your here to day. Did we get that champage out and in the cooler to chill? Guess I'll check.
I have a prayer request for New ears eve. My sil is driving a cab and doing the free ride home program. With the snow,drunks and the way he drives I'm a bit worried. Please keep him in your thoughts .
Hi everybody. Hope you are all dry and warm. Corrina - prayers on the way - its so good that he's doing the free ride thing but I don't blame you for being worried - some drunks are just no fun to be around.
My weather isn't too bad but there is a slight chance that we'll see snow here in Portland this weekend. (this translates into - DROP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW AND RUN TO THE STORE AND BUY AS MUCH MILK, SOUP, AND BREAD THAT YOU CAN BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO BE SNOWED IN UNTIL MARCH).
The joke being that this is what happens when we get 1/2 inch of snow in these parts.
Richard - that's what happens when you leave the cat in charge. Mine are just as useless. They sleep on the clean laundry instead of folding it and are terrible at loading the dishwasher (licking the butter plate doesn't count).
Hi Mario - good to see you again.:D
Catland I know what you mean I grew up in Mount Vernon Washington the frecking out at 1/2 " of wet concrete is really funny now , but not then . Here it nothing to go to town in 8" or more of powder. The ski resorts are very happy to day. Its all prespective. Grab lots of soup and bread.
Specking of bread Richard that sourdough was heavenly. I froze it until the prevous one was gone I finally ate the last one. I took the wrapper to my local store they are tring to get it. Yahoo. Thanks again it was great.
Hi, everyone. I'm so old that I remember Guy Lombardo and his ochestra playing Auld Lang Syne at midnight. I'll see if I can't find a copy of it somewhere.
I remember him too. I think hubby has it on a site he can down load music. I'll check to night and see. I remember Benny goodman and Mich Miller.
Hey since its so cold , snow and wet in most locations I'm making a huge pot of chili and fresh corn bread. So all dive in and take the chill off.
