Eureka, this is an aside, but stuffed snow peas – what a great idea!!! Do you really make these?

Yes, I really have made stuffed snow peas and taken them to parties–in three flavors just like described in the main Party thread.

I got the idea from Taste of Home a few months ago. You steam the snow peas until they are soft and really bright green, then quench them in ice water, dry them carefully, slit them open along the curved edge with a knife, and then stuff them. I’ve used ziploc bags filled with fillings, and just kind of squirted it in there. Party food and conversation starter all in one.

The crabmeat ones have fake crab\* in them, chopped finely and mixed with a little cocktail sauce and mayo (or Miracle Whip). That was the recipe I saw in Taste of Home. They aren’t hard to make, but it is moderately time consuming if you buy a package with as many snow peas in them as I have when I’ve made these to take places. And unfortunately, every time I’ve taken them places I’ve ended up with a whole bunch leftover-- so next time I’ll just take a couple dozen–not close to a hundred. In fairness, one time I was late and many more people might have eaten them had the snow peas turned up earlier. In the other case, I just kept looking at the plates and feeling like the plates didn’t look very full, so I kept stuffing more snow peas, but there only turned out to be a dozen or so people at the party, and most folk only ate a couple of stuffed snow peas.

\*Ok, technically, the recipe calls for canned crabmeat. I buy fake crab legs instead because I’m more comfortable cooking with them.

I’ll bet it would work with fresh raw ones too – they’re easy to grow. And we were thinking of mixing the crab & cream cheese. mmmmmm… decadent.  
I don’t know what’s up with the blender thing; I suspect it’s a red herring. But it’s pretty weird. A little too much like parties I have actually been to. :eek:

Yes, I started with raw snow peas acquired at the supermarket, and steamed them. If you have fresh home grown snow peas, so much the better.

It’s definitely a red herring, but it’s extremely fun to act out. 😃

**twicks:** am I making it too hard? I wanted to avoid the ones people usually think of, so as not to be too obvious.

My guesses so far:  
**Dolores** , you’re a liberal groupie (or Obama groupie, or something)–I love the shaking of the left hand!  
**Kat** , you think you’re better than everyone else.  
**Revenant** , you’re a nitpicker par excellence (or par horror, depending).

I’m not sure how subtle I’m being so far, but I’ve got a couple of groaners to insert at some point.

I can’t tell if mine is going to be incredibly difficult to get or if I’ll be one of the first guessed. It’s pretty tough to DO, though. I’m reminded of the gastard Gatman mafia game.

I think that Ron Weasley would work better, because pureblooded wizards are so out of their depth in the Muggle world. Scratch that, make it Arthur Weasley.
