[jojo99]

Nancy,
That looks yummy to me. Can I come?
:):)
Jo

[NMarti]

Sure Jo - the more the merrier!

[jojo99]

Thanks Nancy, my family might object to me making a long visit away from home over the holiday period but I'm sooooo tempted :D:)

Wendy, the tut looks so easy to follow, I'll have to give it a try. I won't ask DH for any input though or there will be Irish Coffee's in each section :eek:

[Robyn]

Nancy.........

Oh what a menu! I'm a dreadful cook, it's more likely to be a sausage on the barbeque at my house for Christmas.

..............and Nancy, I even managed to ruin the scallops last night!

[NMarti]

Oh no Robyn! I was having dreams of grilled scallops wrapped in bacon all night. Well - they tasted great in my dream!:D

[efarnstrom]

I would rather have sole.

[NMarti]

Darn - I KNEW someone would catch that! :o I also spelled vinagarette wrong too! :rolleyes: I already flattened my image and didn't want to start over.

[efarnstrom]

Darn - I KNEW someone would catch that! :o I also spelled vinagarette wrong too! :rolleyes: I already flattened my image and didn't want to start over.

I didn't know how to spell vinagarette, either, but DO love sole! I was a proof reader in my working life. The one time I went on vacation and had proofed all the articles in a Senior's flyer, I came back and found that the printer had inserted phone numbers in the footnotes. The number was one that would steam you up when you thought you were getting a tip on your health! Well, maybe seniors needed that number, who knows?:eek:

[NMarti]

Eleanor
That's funny! Maybe it is a great therapy for seniors!:D

Yeah I love sole and this is awesome.

[Jancy]

Oh YUM YUM- What time is dinner! I'll be there.
I never, ever cook! My oven has potpourri and candles in it!
I use it for Extra storage!!!

[Robyn]

Jancy.........you have just made my day with that comment!!!

[efarnstrom]

Oh YUM YUM- What time is dinner! I'll be there.
I never, ever cook! My oven has potpourri and candles in it!
I use it for Extra storage!!!
I have to dust the tub:eek:

[NMarti]

Jancy
Think how good your house will smell if someone turns it on by mistake! :eek::D

[Jancy]

It would smell fantastic but cleaning up the melted wax would be horribly. I really could just unplug it! It is funny everytime I open the oven door it does smell wonderful! and it never has to be cleaned!!!

[Wendy]

OK then so have we decided who is gong to make dinner ...

I'll sort out the table settings etc ... I love doing that :)

Wendy

[Robyn]

No need for that Wendy............

If you come to my place you'll only need a paper plate (for the snag i.e. sausage) and a glass! :D Dress code: shorts/sandals

[NMarti]

Hey Robyn - fish goes great with sandals and shorts - plus it's WARM there now. You come here you better bring your warm woolies.

[Wendy]

Robyn ...

Oh my ... that sounds fun.

How about this we have a tour of the world and eat at everyones house :)

Wendy

[NMarti]

Works for me! I vote we start at Robyn's though because I'm already sick of winter - and it's still in the 60's here! :eek::D Give me 80's and sun!

[Bayla]

Just for the record.....the word is Vinaigrette.

As a teacher of modern languages(including French) I couldn't let that one pass....

Bayla

[NMarti]

Bayla
Well - I guess I better let the salad dressing people know. :D They spelled it wrong on the label. I couldn't spell it either so I went and got the bottle.

[Vesta]

I am so sorry I won't be able to come I have to cook here with all the kids coming.
Nancy I is the cake something you really make it sounds so awesome any chance on copy of the recipe and the sole wow.

Vesta

[NMarti]

Vesta
One word - Dierbergs! :D

(a local grocery chain in Missouri and Illinois) There are tons of recipes for it on the web though.

[Jancy]

I've noticed that no one wants to come to my house for dinner. :(
Could it be that I don't cook, I'd be more than happy to have you all here for Wine, hor dourves (store bought, of course) and Cocktails, then I could make a reservation at a fabulous restaurant. That's what I'm good at!! Cooking just ain't my thing!

[NMarti]

Oh Jancy - that's it - you do the cocktails. It will smell so good there too!:D

[Wendy]

Jancy ...

Yes you are voted in as official cocktail maker ... and everybody will want to visit you :)

Wendy

[jojo99]

Wow, dinner around the world sounds good :)
Jancy, your kind of dinner appeals to me, no washing up :D
Not very warm here but I could make a pot of Dublin Coddle to warm you all up :)
Jo

[Jancy]

This Party sure sounds good to me!!:)

[NMarti]

Wow - globehopping dinner club! Sounds like a blast.

[lsweeney]

Jancy, you've reminded me of a wedding shower that was held for my daughter. We were all instructed to bring a recipe and provided a cute little card to write it on. I knew my girl wasn't going to cook so I filled the card with the names and phone numbers of restaurants, carry-out joints and pizza places in the city where she and her husband were going to live!

[lsweeney]

Wendy, I love the menu idea! I'll have to take a shot at it once dinner plans are finalized for Thanksgiving next week!

Dinner here should be a planning fiasco:

One daughter and her boyfriend are vegetarians.
One daughter eats seafood but no other meat.
One daughter prefers that her son eat organic food.
My sister is a poultry farmer and will expect one of their turkeys on the table.
My husband is immune suppressed due to chemotherapy and on a nutrapenic diet.

I think I'll go to Jancy's house and relax with cocktails before going OUT to dinner instead of cooking for all of these picky palates!

[Robyn]

Works for me! I vote we start at Robyn's though because I'm already sick of winter - and it's still in the 60's here! :eek::D Give me 80's and sun!

You are all very welcome. Bring the sunscreen though...........it's gorgeous here today!

...........just couldn't resists rubbing it in........no pun intended! :D

[Wendy]

Robyn ...

That is wicked :eek::eek:

Wendy

Jancy, I'm w/you. I'm no cook but I will be glad to serve guests w/a glass of wine and a few snacks:D

[NMarti]

Hey we're getting there - who's got dessert?

[Wendy]

OK ...

We need another helper ... anyone know any great deserts :)

Mine are not that great ... they usually need a little cloning around the edge :D:D

Wendy

[Robyn]

I know I'm always banging on about being a lousy cook............and I am...........but I CAN make a wicked Aussie pavlova! It's my 'signature' :rolleyes:dish.........sadly my only one! :eek: Do you know what a pavlova is in your part of the world?

[kImages]

I'll bring Carmel topped pumpkin cheesecake. It travels pretty well.:p

Robyn your pavlova sounds interesting, tell us about it.

[Robyn]

Pavlova is just a giant meringue really. Egg whites whipped up with sugar into a 'mountainous' meringue and cooked in a very low temp oven for quite some time and topped with lots of whipped cream and various fruit of one's choice. I like passionfruit/raspberries/strawberries on it best. I made one once that had peppermint flavoured whipped cream and topped with heaps of grated chocolate/chocolate curls and decorated with chocolate coated after-dinner mints........that was fairly wicked!!!

[Wendy]

Robyn ...

How would you (and your pavlova) like to visit the UK ... :D:D

Meringues are not my strong point :(

Wendy

[lsweeney]

I'll bring a dessert wine. There's a winery nearby that has a wonderfully sweet honey wine.

[akaSleen]

Beautiful!

Celine

[NMarti]

Robyn
That sounds fantastic - especially the one with the peppermint and chocolate.

[kImages]

Robyn - The Pavlova sounds wonderful, especially the chocolate peppermint.

[Robyn]

Nancy.................

Scallops first off, followed by peppermint/chocolate pavlova.........what more could you want!

...........except maybe a visit to Australia this time of the year! Come on down.

[Wendy]

Robyn ...

Now what would you do if we all did :D:D

Wendy

[Robyn]

PANIC! .........big time!

[NMarti]

Robyn
My boss just told me his family that is living there just arrived here today for a visit. I asked him why on earth they wanted to do that!:eek:

Mmmm - boy you make it tempting.

[Wendy]

OK Folks ...

Lets panic Robyn .. all over to her place for Christmas:D:D

Wendy

[jojo99]

I'm game!
So far the deserts are pulling me..............................what diet?????????
I'll book my flights in the morning :D
Jo

[Jancy]

Wow What a party! Flights already booked and I am looking forward to a home cooked meal. Dessert and dinner sounds fantastic!

[NMarti]

Well I hope everyone likes scallops because Robyn is great at cooking them...er...was that not great?:confused::D Oh well - we'll make her cook something else. Heck I'd take peanut butter and jelly if it meant I got to go there.

But hey - the dessert sounds fantastic.

[apasskey]

Ok everyone - I LOVE to cook. And I've missed you.And it is warm here too. And I have a pool....and Margaritas...so come on down ( or up) to sunny Arizona. I'll cook anything but fish. :eek:
Andie

PS -My finger is still stiff ( believe it or not!!)so I may need some help chopping.

[Wendy]

Andie ...

We missed you too ... sounds a great idea you cooking and we will help. What is your favourite dish to cook :)

Wendy

[lsweeney]

We'll go to Andie's place in Arizona for Thanksgiving, lounge around her pool until closer to Christmas and then move the party to Robyn's home in Australia for scallops and dessert.

I'll bring the sunscreen because we certainly won't be using it here in the Midwest for the next few months!
