Theme: Christmas Carols
Date: December 5, 2010
House participants & menu portion: The Southsiders – O’Connors (Desserts FIRST – SHOCKING!); Vales I (Entree); and Vales II (Soup & Appetizers)
The O’Connors
The O’Connors filled the tables with a wide variety of goodies from pumpkin pie to cupcakes to “figgy pudding” brownies and traditional Wassail. Each food item represented a Christmas carol and these were DIFFICULT! YUM! – Personal faves? The Ornament Cupcakes & Wassail
In a sugar coma. And covered with kisses.
“Spicing” up the Wassail (for the record, she is NOT a drinker)
So hip.
Playing with E
Checking out all the musical friends! (And the ornaments) with Auntie!
Vales I
With an abundance of pork, delicious punch, “fresh-baked” bread by P. Ls. Berry, and a wide array of veggies, including Duchess potatoes, the “We Three Kings” dinner did not disappoint! We enjoyed catching snippets of Toy Story 3 and laughing at stories of Beauty Shop fodder…poor Ryan barely survived…
Vales II
Last, but not least, the Vales family of 6 filled our bellies with laughs & some “unique” interpretations of the 12 days of Christmas, complete with pictures drawn by the three eldest, the meal included various “bird” wings, onion rings (golden rings…get it? haha), cream of potato soup, seven swans (tortilla chips) swimming in salsa, ginger cookies, pears, and a variety of other goodies.
In no particular order…
Four Calling Birds
Three French Hens…
2 Turtledoves (drawn separately because he was a bit confused…)
Lords a-leaping!
Seven swans a-swimming!
Hats off to the southsiders…you know how to play the game…we have approximately one year until it’s our chance to make history…until then, “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells…”
