Dope The Halls III

I may bring kidlings with me, so if JC needs to bring his little honey, I think it can be arranged for my little honey to be there too. :smiley:

Oh DUH. I didn’t even think of them. They’re so person-like.

Well, unfortunately, hubby will only have one day off this week, and it will be Saturday, and we already have plans. We will plan on attending Anita Vacation’s post-Christmas bash, though, so we hope to see as many of you there as possible!

Whoot. I got a Dopefest shout-out. I bring the party, y’all know. :smiley:

I’m feelin’ it, but have to check with the hubby, who works Saturdays, usually to 3-4 p.m. Even if he’s not interested, there’s a strong likelihood of moi coming out to play. If there are interested parties, I could also see to bringin’ some homebrew?

Beer is good.

I think I’ll bring mace cookies. Several generations old family recipe and tasty as all get-out. :slight_smile:

I emailed people I thought would be interested in coming, that haven’t posted here. All but TeletronOne, as I couldn’t find his addy. Haven’t seen him around, anyone know what’s up?

The menu so far:

Turkey
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Dressing (not cooked in the bird, no meat, Opal)
veggie platter
cheese and crackers
Whatever anyone brings

I suppose at some point I’ll make some pie and tarts and such.

I’m tentatively in; I’ll confirm by Wednesday.

I have no idea how I missed this thread. I must have been too busy corrupting wishes.

Oh, look at this in my fridge – a bottle of Cordon Negro brut! Is one bottle of champagne enough, Ginger, or would you like me to chill a second bottle?

I could prolly make a broccoli casserole, and I make a damned fine broccoli casserole. Tark’s not sure if he’ll come but I’m going to bust mine bootay to be there and I know the kids will be pissed if I leave them here when there’s playing in another state to be done.

Scubaben, bring whatever you like. It’s not a requirement, unless you’re Hamadryad and have been teasing me with that damned broccoli casserole for three years.

I’m gonna try my hand at making cookies. We’ll see how it goes.

And I probably shouldn’t have to ask this, but are we talking a gag gift exchange or a real one?

We generally do a real gift exchange.

Well, it seems I’m in; if I got the $10 to cough up I’ll see what I can do about getting a gift in to the exchange. Other than that I’ll come hungry!

I’ll make extra Guacamole, then.

I gotta admit Baby Kate ain’t wild about going if there won’t be any kids her size kicking around.

How certain are you, Hamadryad? Yours and mine had a blast last time.

Well if your cookies turn out anything like mine do then please don’t. I’ve broken enough teeth on my own cookies over the last few years.

Blerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. OK, I’m not coming now. :wally

Nah, yer just an anarchist who likes capitalism. :stuck_out_tongue:

Not to worry; it’s impossible to break your teeth on these.

I suppose a purist might consider them candy rather than cookies, but I don’t think anyone will mind if I use the wrong term.

I will bring a gift for the gift excange. Also, Ginger, could you e-mail me directions to brookeln@earthlink.net please? Thanks. And, I will bring a rum cake and some tequila-lime salsa. Lastly, I think TeleTronOne is thinking about coming. I will send him an e-mail asking him to post to the thread.

See you all Saturday!
