*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***
I'm in the kitchen as you read this getting the last
minute food out. I love having the family at our house
for Eve it just fills the walls with warmth. But it
leaves a heck of a cleanup ;o) We're off to celebrate
with Hubby's family tomorrow for Christmas Day and I'm
lucky to bea ble to see most of the bunch who live in
town among all of us between both days. Ever wonder
what else to do with a bunch of ham? This BROCCOLI
HAM BAKE is a nice quickie to throw together with
leftovers and kick back for a bit. Go ahead and take
a break isn't it nice when holidays fall on weekends?
Have a Very Happy Holiday Everone & Enjoy!

TAPPED OUT AFTER CHRISTMAS?
Here are some money saving party ideas for New Year's Eve
or anytime...
Appetizer parties are great, especially if you are short on
seating space, time, or resources. Although you?ll want to
allow about eight hors d'oeuvres per person, they needn?t be
expensive or complicated to taste good. Grilled, bacon-wrapped
chunks of vegetables and fruits are always popular. So are
halved tiny baked potatoes filled with sour cream, bacon, and
chives or chili and cheese. Another favorite offering is fried
stuffed ravioli or tortellini served with marinara sauce.
Rather than serve expensive whole shrimp, smoked salmon, or
beef tenderloin, extend them by combining with spicy dressings,
cream cheese, and vegetables for easy spreads. Accompany spreads
with crackers and breads, or use them as fillings for puff pastry
shells, wonton wrappers, or rolled tortillas.
Don?t feel obligated to offer a full bar or even any hard
liquor. Beer and wine are usually sufficient, or stick to one
hard liquor drink in keeping with the seasonal theme, such as
a punch bowl of eggnog or hot rum toddies.
Use snow in ice buckets to chill wines, soft drinks, or beers.
Snow chills better than ice, looks nicer, and saves you the
cost of purchasing crushed ice.
Candles provide soft lighting that creates a relaxed party
atmosphere. Scatter inexpensive votive candles on mantels,
windowsills, plate rails, and tables. Candles burn more
slowly if they?ve been stored in a sealed box in the refrigerator
and are lit while they?re cold.
Decorate your tables with whatever is close at hand. You need
not go to the expense of cut flowers. Use foliage cut from your
outside shrubbery, nuts, small white birch logs, pinecones, bird
nests or birdhouses, toys, fresh fruit (such as pears, apples,
oranges, and persimmons), and small potted plants or herbs.
Purchase strands of tiny white Christmas lights during after-
Christmas sales for next year?s party. String your house with
them to create inexpensive, intimate, and elegant lighting.
Clusters of beribboned helium balloons make festive decorations
for any holiday party. Buy the ribbon in economical commercial-
size rolls.
