Yeah it was fun!
Way too much food. And some “holiday cheer” in a bottle…brought by me. I made some cranberry vodka, most of which I’m taking home for celebrating with my family, but I brought a sample big enough for everyone to share.
mmm…dangerously good…
the gifts were HYSTERICAL! and of COURSE I have pictures.
this is one of the gifts we brought. CLASSY!!!
I ended up with this plastic green piggy bank. AWESOME! I’m going to keep it at work and put quarters for my coffee in it.
And…that’s about it! Everyone had fun, especially the kids. There were no tears, even when the “stealing” part of the white elephant exchange took place. The veggie dish I brought was a huge hit - might be because it had a generous amount of melty bleu cheese smothering the once healthy veggies.
Fun!
OH! yeah…and one more thing…
clicky!
and because Serra demanded…
cranberry vodka
1 lb fresh cranberries
1 c sugar
cook together in pot until cranberries pop and a lot of liquid forms. remove from heat and add
2tsp vanilla, or 1 split vanilla bean, if you have that kind of money to throw around.
pour into large glass jar, or two mason jars, or whatever - just make sure it has a tight lid, and then add
1 bottle decent vodka - not the cheapo crap you bought for $10 a gallon and mixed with a garbage can of grape kool-aid in college.
cover with lid and let sit on your kitchen counter for a week. admire the pretty color.
then serve with tonic and a twist of lime….mmmmmm….good!
