We went to a potluck a couple of weeks ago - lots of fun and enough food for half a neighborhood. There was spinach dip and chips and dip, dry ribs, wings, salads, meat and cheese, veggies, breads, desserts, cookies.....you name it. I ate too much and it was glorious.
We took some raw veggies because our kids are pretty picky eaters but they will always eat some raw vegetables; and they did, but they ate nearly everything else as well. I was surprised and impressed.
I made some grape jelly meatballs - The Mister had these at a party years and years ago (we still lived in Calgary!) and we keep meaning to make them, and finally their time arrived.
I used this recipe and they were perfect.
We also made a punch called Lifesaver Punch from Best of Bridge.
It is a thawed can of Strawberry Daiquiri mix and a thawed can of Pink Lemonade mix and 4 cups of Ginger Ale. I found it too sweet so I added the other half of the 2 liter bottle of Ginger Ale and still thought it was too sweet, but it was all drankened (huh?) up, and the boys have requested I make it at home this holiday season.
The other potluck we were to go to we have bowed out of; so thankfully I am done with that for the year. I am focusing on getting to the end of 2017 in one piece and wishing for a joyful new year.
