I made a nice bruschetta with gorgonzola melted on the toasted garlic bread topped with a roasted pepper (red, green. orange and yellow) and red onion mixture. A little balsamic and good olive oil and it was really yummy.

Excellent suggestion!

Yum! Bruschetta. I'm starving.

I'll bring some guacamole. Prefab because it's better than what I make from scratch.
Well, then

I was thinking about some chicken wings for lunch, but then I saw Uly's avatar.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

If you want a buffet thing going, I can contribute my mom's Sloppy Joes (flavored with ground clove- mmm) and her potato salad, which includes hard boiled egg and celery seed.

Also, her great fried chicken- simplest recipie in the world, none of us could ever get it as good as she did it. I miss my mom for a lot of reasons, but the fried chicken is near the top of the list.
I am about 25% sure of this.

I've added a mental note to try clove the next time I make Sloppy Joes. Thanks for mentioning this!

Also, as bad as it is for health reasons, I would love to learn to make a really good fried chicken!! I tend to bake and grill chicken. I've never mastered the technique for frying it with the crispy coating.

Today's special is...

Wasabi Crab Pinwheels:

I use the Wasabi Mayo from Trader Joes. The psuedo crab (surimi?), finely minced celery, and sliced of avocado and extremely thin tomato slices wraped in a herb tortilla (warm it first) and then sliced into about 5-6 pinwheels.

Anyone want to propose a new cocktail?

Her potato salad recipe sounds a lot like the way I make it. No real recipe, but it sure is good. I haven't made it in ages, though.

I had carrots and hummus earlier, and a big hunk of mozzarella with roasted red peppers.

Here's my drink choice:

http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/5542

It has a lot going for it, including Captain Morgan's rum and peach schnapps, and it is named for a cat.

(I told it to look for spiced rum since it did not recognize Captain Morgan's specifically.)

I'll bring a big ol' platter of Lemon Goodie Squares. They're my favorite, so I always volunteer to bring them.

What time do you start serving??

Yeah. PSM can give all the details. Unfortunately, I think I'll be in a city with no 7-11s on Friday.

We have a 7-11, but their parking lot's a mess because they just tore out their gas pumps....

I've hardly been in there since we got a Quik Trip. And now that one of my sisters works for them, I can carry out my hernia jugs full of Pepsi for free now (I'll be sure to send them the bill for my next stone).....
