New Year's Eve dinner suggestions?

At some point, I'd find a way to cook some black-eyed peas. They're supposed to be good luck for the new year.

And for my dinner, I'm having comfort food...homemade chicken pot pie and a bottle (or three) of Nobilo.

 

For dessert tonight, going with a new chocolate cheesecake concoction.

Cooking a two-layer chocolate cake and stabbing a crust-less cheesecake between them.

It's pretty tough, and I haven't even begun to put them together.

 

OK, the ONLY thing I know how to make. My mom and I changed the ingredients from what my Filipino cousin used to make, because I don't like cabbage.

Grill up some chicken, cut into little pieces, with six cloves of garlic. Cook it all the way through, but leave it juicy.
Buy the egg roll wrappers (I get the MenLo brand) and thaw them, then separate them. Wrap up the chicken in the wrappers (put in other stuff if you wish, carrots, cabbage, onions, etc.), put oil in a pan, and cook them up. Just a bit on each side, until they're golden brown.

The crowning glory: the sauce. Take 2 parts honey, 1 part mustard and 1/2 part dijon (I usually make it with 8 tablespoons of honey, and take it down from there). Mix that up furiously, then dip the eggrolls, and thank me later.

 

So that would also be a grilling, of sorts... if you finish right...

 

If you're going finger foods, Wegmans has a great selection of cheees.

Also, get some of their couscous off the salad bar. It's ab-fab.

 

Does Wegmans sell marijuanna?

 

You know 'Yab, weed is the perfect substitute for nicotine/tobacco. And since you're going to gain weight post-smoking anyway, might as well use ganja to make the food taste really freaking good.

 

Ya, ya, ya, ya.

 

Thanks, bastards, for making me hungry.

Now I'ma need to go get something to eat. I'm half-tempted to order Chinese.

If I had time, I'd work on IJAG's little creation. Yum.

 

For tomorrow, we have in the frig:

About 60 little meatballs
Sweet-and-sour sauce
Five kinds of cheese
Sour cream/onion chips, barbecue chips, french onion dip
Lebanon bologna
Two trays of pop-in-oven hors douevres
Pistachios
Peanuts in the shell (unsalted, of course)
Amaretto cheesecake

The diet resumes Wednesday.

 

frig?

 

Well, maybe not the nuts and chips.
