Yep....from leftovers....we had TONS!

Also, just a reminder...........
End of 2011 Dinner/Goodie Exchange & Choc. Fondue Pow Wow
NEXT Sun. Dec. 4th 8:00 PM @ GlasFam4Ever's

Can't Wait!

Here was the email, just in case FYI..........
So, we'll meet Sun Dec. 4th let's come a little early this time, for the chat/dessert. Say 8:00 pm...here.

We'll chat about moving forward in the new year (but probably more about other things too) & I'll serve chocolate fondue.
This will also give us a chance to visit for a bit before the holiDAZE begins for Christmas.

So, please plan to bring 4 entrees to exchange, possibly 5------
(Stacy is still confirming on her end. She or I will update when that's for certain.)

AND a Baker's Delight (for example I'm making pumpkin choc. chip mini bread loaves for each of us) ....we'll set this up buffet style from whatever is brought. Rachael is making her FAMOUSLY DELISH peanut butter balls, but she doesn't know that yet!!! We shall all make sure that she knows that MUST happen : )


We'll divide each of the different goodies brought all up 6 ways....giving us each a generous sized Christmas treats style plate to take home as little "gifts".

Stacy, if you can't do the dinner exchange part (totally understandable w/all the extra of the season).....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE plan to come for the chatting/dessert/"goodie-gift"....we SHAN'T start without YOU!!!!!
Unless, you're in the hospital having a baby, in which case we shall bring your goodies to you! : )

11/6/11 Italian-Style Meatball Subs

OK, I KNOW this is SUPER EARLY since we haven't even had THIS Sun.'s exchange & there are FIVE Sun.'s in Oct., which means the exchange following this coming Sun. won't be til NOV. 6th!!!!!

Anyway in calculating the ground beef needed for stuffing my peppers for this Sun.- Stater Bro.'s butcher convinced me to buy a little more than TWICE what I needed.

Hence, I have made Italian-Style Meatballs for subs for our exchange on Nov. 5th.

Italian-Style Meatball Subs
Thaw cook 350 degrees 45 min.'s give or take.....
Serve HOT on sub buns w/provolone cheese.
Along side fries, tots, or onion rings & choice of melon.

I will need Rachael, Yerika, and Stacy (Laura only comes the 3ed Sun.'s) to PLEASE take them this exchange as my freezer is too too FULL!!!!!!
Also, Luisa...if you join in by then...no worries, I'll have PLENTY for you too that I'll give you then. If not, no worries since I can easily put them w/pasta or something!

Cheers!

I REALLY hope this doesn't mess up anyone Else's plans, but since no one is posting what they are bringing anymore, I took a chance that it wouldn't interfere!
