In the meanwhile, I've been up since 4:30 a.m. making candied pecans because I can't sleep. We're having a combo bowl game/'indoor' tailgate party & birthday party + Christmas White Elephant gifts this evening. Trying to get family together isn't that easy so we have to do a lot when we can be together. I was on my feet all afternoon yesterday cooking: 7-layer dip, broccoli supreme salad, tailgate chili, wicked wienies, a pound cake & now the sugared pecans. Whew. My SIL is making sausage balls & I think she's getting some chicken wings. My other SIL says she'll "bring something" .... she usually brings 'good stuff'. It should be quite a party - just hope the right team wins (my dad's alma mater) or the next couple of days won't be such happy ones.
OMG! What a spread! Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Our crabcakes from G&M cost $18 each - yikes! Pure crab, held by, maybe, a dab of mayo. The vat of cole slaw we bought was delicious. I haven’t had it that good since we vacationed in Maine this summer. Something about seafood and cole slaw...
Those are not bad prices for good crab cakes.
I hope your party was amazing nd your team won!
