So, back to the title. On New Year's we went to our friends' (Nick and Megan... newlyweds-woohoo) and I made a beer/cheese fondue. It wasn't good. I have made it before and used a light beer. It was good then. All I had this time was a Guinness and it just... well, wasn't good. Strike one.
On tonight's book club menu: homemade salsa, homemade queso out of a jar :), and salami smeared with cream cheese and wrapped around a mini dill pickle with a toothpick through the middle. (that's the official name, yes:))
Sounds like the grossest thing ever, right? I think so, too. I'm not a big meat eater. What meat I do eat, I am really picky about. (Meaning that for every bite of something meat that I eat, Dustin's plate gets at least 3 bites' worth of "this looks gross, you eat it") I'm lucky to have a hubby who plays along.
But--- these things are de.lic.ious. I can eat my weight in these bad boys.
Nutritional information: Meat, dairy, veggie. That's healthy... right?
I warned the girls. I told them what I was making, using the official name, of course. I admitted that it sounds like the nastiest thing ever and that based off the description (and the looks, to be honest) they aren't anything that I would ever eat in a million years. But I did. And fell in love. And there is no going back. Boy-oh-boy these babies are definitely craveable. (Spell check tells me this isn't a word... humor me)
MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, I know, they look nasty.
Now, let's just hope that these aren't strike two for me and my appetizers.
I'd hate to become the "do you want me to bring anything??."
"Uhhh-----no, that's fine, I think we have it covered" person.
Now, as long as the girls like my salami smeared with cream cheese and wrapped around a mini dill pickle with a toothpick through the middle, the night will be a success. Well, that and if the puppy (and kitten) don't yack up the salami I gave them when I was done making these... at least not when the company is all here anyway... (sorry....but it is the truth..). :)
Any book suggestions for our Feb book?

They aren't the nastiest things ever... I like them! I thought they were made with sweet pickles though... We should try them with sweet pickles sometime! =)
ReplyDeleteThese sound good, I would eat these even if I wasn't pregnant!!

funny! But I bet they're good.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered what those things are called! ;) You're right - yum.
ReplyDeleteBook club ideas...I've got one for you, although I'm not sure what type of books you usually go for? Love Walked In by Marisa de Los Santos. One of my favorite books ever.
hee hee you are hysterical, and those do sound ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, but I can tell that they are probably really yum. I might get up the courage to make these soon...:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

I bet if you called them Le désordre délicieux in your best Julia impression (French for the yummy mess) they would be a HIT!
