Entertaining

I love the thought of hosting a really nice dinner party, but for now it is a thought. I did put together a smallish gathering with a few appetizers this past Saturday evening. I made a trip to the new ABC store for some libations. The new store is the largest ABC store I have yet to visit and it is nicely laid out. And I found a couple of beverages that had rebate forms, yep....rebates for liquor. I bought some pre-mixed blue melon margarita and a bottle of kamakaze shots. I made Hawaiin meatballs, BBQ chicken wraps and a spinach salad. The meatballs were made with ground turkey, plain bread crumbs, and Hawaiin sauce, then baked in the oven and once they were done I put them in a crockpot with Hawaiin sauce and pineapple chunks. I bought a whole garlic chicken from the deli department and pulled the meat off the bone. I mixed meat with Sweet Baby Rays Raspberry Chipotle BBQ sauce and the spooned the mixture into the crescent roll dough, wrapped them and baked them. My guests loved everything and it wasn't too much work for me the host. We had a great night of snacking, drinking and great conversation.
