Last night's party was the first "big" party I've hosted in about 6 years. I've just been too sick to deal with it all. I was pleased with the assortment of food that we had, and decided at the last moment to photograph it. Thought I'd share (and hopefully not make you all TOO hungry.) LOL
First was my vegetarian chili. I was happy to finally find a recipe that was really good. The other vegetarian at the party loved it as well, and went home with my recipe:
Next, homemade cornbread:
The other vegetarian guest made some veggie sausage rolls which were absolutely OUTSTANDING! I have to find the "sausages" he used so I can make some myself:
My "cat" neighbors brought smoked salmon and cheese. Ziggy and Brillo went crazy over the salmon scent, and I caught Brillo in the cheese at one point:
For dessert, I made caramel corn:
And the hit with the little boy who was present, chocolate chip cookie ice cream sammies. I will definitely make these again:
We also had "meat chili" along with the usual chips/dips, pizza, etc. My poor neighbor decided to make "fancy guacamole" and used hard avocados which she put in the blender with MILK (ew, LOL) and other stuff. It was a soupy mess that she asked me to compost for her. I decided it would be kinder not to photograph it (altho I will talk about it, LOL). She is Latino, too, which makes it all the funnier!
Thanks for looking!

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask for the veggie chili recipe!
) for the caramel corn I make and bring to our annual Superbowl party. I couldn't go last night, because I was feeling a little under the weather, so you should have seen the reaction I got from people. "No caramel corn?!?!?" 
My friends all said it in a joking way, and then added "feel better".....and then called me during the game.
