Holiday Parrrtay!

We had a holiday party. Of course, I didn't take too many photos. Too busy seeing all the wonderful people (35+) who came! I didn't count the guests, but we did use up all the 45 glass goblets we had, plus several additional cups.

And, here's the spread!

There were:

• Prosciutto-wrapped dates that were stuffed with chevre and a small piece of gorgonzola.
• Bacon-wrapped sausages
• Caprese bites--- toothpicks of tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella, drizzled in olive oil and basalmic vinegar, and sprinkled in salt and pepper
• Two chevre logs, one surrounded by raspberries, one surrounded by blackberries, each with sunflower seeds on top and drizzled in honey
• A veggie tray, but in tree form (see photos below) with dip
• Tomatoes with dip
• Croquembusch- but I didn't get the chance to make the carmel (and our propane tank ran out for the stovetop), so we didn't stack them. Instead, we just dipped them a little bit in honey. But, the puffs and interior custard totally turned out, so there's no reason why we couldn't have stacked it!
• Pfeffernnusse cookies
• Chocolate bonbon pops
• Two chocolate tree cakes (I made them with tree molds I had)
• Chocolate-dipped marshmallows with sprinkles on straws (for stirring into hot drink or for kids to just eat!)

And for the drinks:

• Hot chocolate
• Hot cider
• Eggnog
• Wine
• Sparking cider
• A champagne/cherry/delicious cocktail (called a "Poinsettia Mimosa")
• Another cocktail that tasted like chocolate covered cherries (called a "Cuppa Good Cheer")

And here's that veggie tray tree I mentioned!

So, that was our party. Needless to say, we did NOTHING on Sunday! Tired!
