The Say Anything Thread - Take 12

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Hmmm...I am invited to a birthday party in September. I was asked to bring some kind of food. It's a big party with 40+ people. It will be a bbq garden party thing, so I am thinking either appetizers, salad or dessert.

I don't think lettuce salad is on, since it will wilt. Pasta, couscous, potato, egg salad - I think there will be a couple of those already. I was thinking maybe chickpea salad with bell pepper, red onion, feta cheese. Or maybe watermelon salad with feta and balsamic. I have a thing for feta at the moment. Or maybe serrano ham/ melon skewers, that is nice and fresh.

I somehow would rather make appetizers than a salad. My Mom (she is invited also) is making a glass noodle salad with ground beef, peanuts and sesame oil.

Any suggestions? Unfortunately I don't have an oven, so I can't do anything that requires baking.

Holy moly, I am so bored, I am thinking about what to bring to a party in a month.

Chocolate covered bacon sounds like a goer for me

Julia I made a white bean salad about a month ago with red onion, carrot, feta, lots of herbs, and I dunno what else I put the recipe on the blog. I just make stuff without using a recipe and never remember how I did it.

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

I was thinking beans as well...I make a salad with kidney beans, chickpeas, corn, peppers, onion - but somehow I wanted to make something a little more elegant and not "just another salad" type thing. Although it's just a casual bbq.

Maybe I go for a variety of skewers - the melon/Serrano ones, maybe mini mozzarella balls/ mango/ coriander and lemongrass/chili vinaigrette plus the classic ones with mozzarella/ cherry tomatoes/ basil...oh thank god I still have weeks to make this oh so very hard decision. In the meantime I shall be on mission to come up with a concept for world peace. @ myself.

the skewers sound yummy and it would be something different...

maybe you could also do some fruit ones for a dessert.. like strawberries, grapes etc...

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Yeah, I was thinking for dessert I could make some fruit ones with goats cream cheese which I could roll in honey and then in toasted chopped macadamia nuts. Yum yum.

I just woke up and now I am hungry again.

Keeping dirty working on the rivet inventory for ebay.

Benny has bought into SMC (the one where Tom Bosley does the commercials). He wants to sell the stuff (as well as the catalogs) at a flea market.

Morning. I've already decided I should have stayed in bed this morning, too many things going wrong. I'm hoping I've gotten all out of my system so the day will only get better.

Peeps! Wazzup?

Someone at work made tomato pie and left me a tiny slice - OMG! Too, too good. Fresh tomatoes, garden-grown basil, and boatloads of garlic. Oooooooh yummy!
