hello lovely readers! the americans among us have a short week otherwise known as feasting initiation night otherwise known as thanksgiving! essentially we've arrived at the time of year when the influx of food never stops. even though our double thanksgiving dinners (yes read that: dinnerS) aren't coming til tomorrow, steve's birthday last weekend got us a head start on stretching our bellies. last friday several of our friends from out of town came over for a surprise party i threw for steve (it was only so surprising, seeing as he requested such a thing).
i left work early to grocery shop, clean, and cook like a crazy lady. lucky for me our apartment isn't too big so the place was good to go by the time andy and cha showed up to yell surprise. not to brag or nuthin, but the food was pretty darn good. in honor of steve's birthday bash and all the eating we've yet to do, i'll share a couple pretty delicious recipes i invented for the party.
black bean, corn, avacado salad (10 servings)
in a large serving bowl combine:
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels (thawed)
1 large diced avacado
1 large diced red bell pepper
1/2 large diced red onion
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 tbsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
christmas cranberry face-punch (25 servings)
(please drink responsibly... this stuff is delicious and FAR from baby formula...
consider yourself warned)
in a large serving bowl combine:
3 1/5 cups of vodka (1 fifth of a gallon bottle)
1 1/2 cups of triple sec (about 1/2 a bottle)
2 litres sierra mist cranberry splash
3/4 litre simply limeade
4-5 large scoops of lime sherbet
handful of frozen cranberries
hope everyone has a great thanksgiving!
