Blackwater 53393 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 My wife, Schoolmarm, makes an appetizer known as sausage stars. Hot country sausage and several great cheeses. We have never brought any home from any party and there are always people asking for the recipe! She has a couple of secret variations from the published recipe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Is this a bad time to mention that I hate potlucks? I have this thing. It’s not a phobia, but more like a complex. I cannot eat food that other people have been hovering over, picked at and scrutinized or handled. I have gotten deathly ill eating at potlucks. I may never eat another deviled egg as long as I live. Sorry. I’m a bit weird. I just can’t do potlucks. I don’t even know why I answered in the first place. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Ok, reason for the question. I like to turn the game on for the ambiance, have a snack, fall asleep, wake up, have a snack, sleep till it’s over , have a snack, clean up and go to bed. in the past I’ve picked up a couple things from the freezers, always bacon wrapped scallops. and something else. I think I’ll still do the BWS, I can do 3 deviled eggs and not have leftovers. svedish meatballs, yumm, made them fifty years ago. And look up the Svedish Bikini team!. And leftover meatballs are ok.

I enjoy riding my bike I don’t enjoy potlucks, buffets, charcuterie snacks at parties, party food. How many times have you taken your life in your own hands attending a shooting match with strangers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 @Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 I apologize for ricocheting your thread. One thing I do not mind at these events, prepackaged items. Even if a person makes something at home then puts it baggies I feel a lot better about eating it. One work event I went to this lady showed up with these tasty little sandwiches individually wrapped with cling wrap. Those things were great. Some had mayo on them. Some had mustard. Some were roast beef and provolone, some were ham and cheddar. Simple, but tasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Ukraine open markets will have a plate, a basket for you to sample the product, berries, cheeses. In some ethnic restaurants, near the cashier will be a bowl small unwrapped sweets. long list really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
