1. Not a bad idea!

8. I had to call ahead to order-I guess it's a busy night for

Chinese takeout.

[HEAVYHEART]

2. Wow

Your menu looks awesome!!!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

3. I'm not making it-it's take out, baby!

:P

[HEAVYHEART]

5. Oh I figured that

After seeing your list, I've decided to have chinese tonight! :)

[Sporadicus]

4. Good Plan!

I especially like the idea of fried finger-foods, which slow down the rate of alcohol absorption.

6. I always do a dinner/quiet party thing at my house.

BTW, yours looks awesome! I think I'll try that idea next year and do the Asian thing.

At my place, we're having:

Antipasti platter w/ prosciutto, parmesan, mozzarella, cannelini beans and roasted red pepper in a vinaigrette, olive tapenade
Cheese in puff pastry

Poached Salmon w/ Lemon Butter sauce
Standing Rib Roast
Mashed Potatoes (my sister will eat NO OTHER potato dish)
Roasted Asparagus
Broccoli Rabe sauteed in olive oil with garlic
Tossed Salad

Choices, choices (I made a few desserts):
Chocolate Torte
Key Lime Squares
Ice Cream Sandwiches (made w/ two white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and a vanilla ice cream middle)

We'll play games, too. We'll also watch our wedding video. Our guests were all in the wedding party, so it should be fun to laugh at ourselves and maybe make up a wedding video drinking game. I figure I deserve it - I've suffered through all their wedding/baby/family videos, now they can suffer through mine (evil laugh here). ;-)

7. What a fabulous feast!

Sounds a lot better than my Chinese takeout!

[susanna]

9. Nah - I work my butt off.

And I'm soooo dead on New Year's Day! Next year I'm trying the Chinese! :-)

10. I haven't had any homestyle tofu in ages.

I live in such a hick town where even the Chinese are rednecks, they don't serve tofu in any of the Chinese restaurants here..

It's heartbreaking, as this is my favorite Chinese dish, bean curd in a good sauce with those tender pieces of "baby corn" and sumptious snow peas, steamed carrots and a little broccoli with a spring roll or two. My heart aches.

11. Chinese food, me too!

Teriyaki chicken with veggies and egg rolls.

I'm stuffed.

12. About the same, although my age group is a little younger

and the board games are like Candyland, MouseTrap and well, Yachtzee... which is at least getting there!

13. Family Style Bean Curd is my favorite.
