Because of the snow storm, half of the guests backed out.

The ones who came each brought some thing.

I make a shrimps and scallops dish, and a mushroom/bean dip dish.

It was a fun evening, I won $100.00 more than enough to pay for food. :-)

Corn should never be photographed on a mushy brown puddle.

LOL!!!! @ cello music! Dang, yer a quick'un, Major RCG! CONGRATS to Yo Mama and the Giants!!! What a GREAT upset at the last minute!! With 2:something left, I thought the Yorkies were done for. What a fun ending! My favorite commercial was a toss up between Tide's Silence the Stain and Toyota's Badger....ok, and Bridgestone's Screaming Richard Simmons. LOL But Hank the Clydesdale ("Rocky") made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Cars.com's Ring of Fire, etc., commercials were way up there, along with FedEx's Pigeons, Doritos's Kicka$$ Mouse (YIKES! LOL), and (Planter's?) Unibrow Lady. Ok, Charles Barkley's big mouth got a chuckle, too. :D Z-Chick, if you're rarin' to go next Sat. after having surgery today, then showing up at Clancy's is the least we can do! :D Hope you're feeling better soon!!! Bad toothache with an infected loose tooth here. WHAAAA! The dentist scares me a LOT, so wish me luck today....*whimper* Fi guy, thanks SO MUCH for doing this every year!!!! Brenda

I agree with Jen. The jersey thing is no different than spending money on anything else one enjoys. The only jersey I would probably buy is a baseball jersey because it's the only sport one can actually afford to go to around here. Can't get tickets to a Giants game and even if I could, no way could I afford it. Rangers and Knicks are almost the same. Can get tickets but they are crazy expensive. We do try to go to a baseball game or two each season. Baseball is our favorite, DS plays serious competitive youth baseball, and it's relatively affordable. We even travel to Baltimore at least once to go to an Orioles game. I do buy DS jerseys, but I buy them at Marshalls or places like that and they are not crazy expensive. I love when I leave my office in midtown Manhattan on a night when the NY Rangers are at the Garden. It's amazing how many people I see walking towards the Garden wearing Ranger jerseys. Not sure why, but don't see Knick jerseys when they are playing. And basketball is way more popular than hockey. I went to a college that has football team (Rutgers Univ). I went to all the games when I was in college. And I still live within 20 minutes of my college. And I'm a huge sports fan. But, I just cannot get into college football and never could once I left college. I'm not sure why. Maybe because we have so many pro teams in this area. Or maybe because the players change so often (only there for 4 years max) I don't feel the connection. I did recently go to a Princeton Univ hockey game for the 1st time. My DS has been asking to go to a hockey game for years. Can't afford Ranger tickets. Well, I could afford the seats way up, but I've sat there for Ranger games and there's no way I would take a kid there. It's crazy! Anyway, it was AWESOME. Will definitely be doing that again very soon.

BLANCO DIAMOND™ 1-1/2 Bowl sink questions
Q
Comments (10)
Do you have a disposal? If so which side would you utilize it in? I had a SS sink that was set up like this and I hated it. The large side was fine but the small was useless. It splashed water everywhere and the disposal was on that side. So dumping large pans of water - spaghetti, corn on the cob or what have you it could not handle it. It does appear that the smaller side is the same depth as the larger which will help with splash (mine was more shallow - even more absurd). It really just wasn't a versatile or useful basin at that size. I have the blanco precis low divide (due to 33" sink base). I like it well enough but had my sink base been 36" I'd have gone with the 36" super single without batting an eye. You might want to check that one. It's made for draining and I think it's laid out more usefully than the 1 1/2. It's a low divide so you can still fit most things in it flat but if they are really large the angle is not as harsh. I do stand things up to dry in it on occasion and it works perfectly for that. I would look at what you hope to do with that side and then what you normally do most of the time and then go from there. I love my blanco sink - it is so easy to care for - no scratching, it's quiet. Love it. edit: Oh I want to add - if you can go look at one in person. That will probably tell you all you need to know. It's so hard looking on line. edit #2: (lol) My only sink is also in the island.

Also a fan of Xochitl chips-- they are thin and so crisp! I will be making buffalo chicken nachos. I salt and pepper skinless chicken breasts then add a few pats of butter and completely douse the breasts in Frank's Hot Sauce. Bake until cooked through then shred with a fork when cooled enough to work with. I mix a little more hot sauce into the shredded chicken and refrigerate overnight. Right before serving I assemble blue corn chips, chicken, finely diced jalapeno, scallions and a mix of cheddar, montery jack and manchego (or a mix of whatever I have!). Bake on a lowish temperature (300ish) for about 15 min. I drizzle more hot sauce and some ranch dressing on top (I don't care for blue cheese) and serve with sliced cucumbers around the perimeter.. and extra ranch dressing. Black bean nachos are also a favorite-- and now that I've thought of them, I may change my mind and go with that instead. I assemble with all the same above-- but I add diced tomatoes.

It all looks good to me!

Didn't know we had 'photo police' here. :>)

Did you 'do' your fruit plates, too?

Glad you won! Those Saints are something, aren't they!

Nope, no photo police, a lot of photos have been commented on here, both positive and negative.

Actually, I was just thinking "SuperBowl", "football", "injuries", was that Peyton Manning who bled all over the shrimp?

Sorry, couldn't help it. (grin)

Jeez - and I thought I had shown restraint by NOT saying the beans needed a swirl of salsa to make it look bloody! LOLOLOL!

I also had a knee jerk reaction to the first picture. Probably has something to do with the fact that my son was just diagnosed over the weekend with ulcerative colitis.

Just hits too close to home this week, I guess.

Sorry, dcarch, I couldn't help myself, I got all "football excited", you know, and I was seriously cheering for the Saints, so I'm happy!

Actually, the scallops look good, I love 'em and don't make them often, they're darned expensive here. Is that sweet and sour sauce? I like sweet and sour with calimari, so I'd probably like it with scallops too.

"Posted by ann_t ------Too bad the storm interfered with your party. Sounds like you were the big winner though. Congrats!!! Ann"

Thanks Ann. It appears that whenever I plan a party, something happens. There was a four day blackout one time I planned two big parties. Good thing I have a generator.

"Posted by caliloo -------Corn should never be photographed on a mushy brown puddle. Alexa"

Haha! Sometimes my photos can get crony. I got some extra corn leftover from making the black bean corn dip. Didnt want to throw them away.

"Posted by foodonastump -------OMG LLOL, Alexa! (The second L for "literally") I'll take that plate of shrimp and scallops though... "

Those went quickly. I was able to make a second batch right after.

Thanks, Rusty. Yes, I make a big platter of fruits and fruit sorbet. One couple was from New Orleans, we were all happy that the Saints won.

Annie, you are bloody funny! LOL

"Posted by caliloo -----Jeez - and I thought I had shown restraint by NOT saying the beans needed a swirl of salsa to make it look bloody! LOLOLOL! Alexa "

I did plan to make salsa with the beans, corn, and avocados. Unfortunately the avocados were not ripe enough.

Want a second opinion? Your son will be doing better soon. :-)

"Posted by beverlyal ------Oh Jo did you have to? LOL More food porn! Congratulations on the win."

Thanks. Almost enough money to take a trip to New Orleans for the parade.

"Posted by -----You are all too funny!! Are those tin foil mushrooms? Really?

Thanks. One guest brought some wings in aluminum foil. So I did some impromptu origami with the foil.

Sorry for what? I was LOL. The sauce was made with a lot of stuff, but the main ingredient was Sriracha and leftover cranberry sauce from the freezer.
