Holiday luncheon today! What are you bringing?
I have green bean casserole, compliments of Publix. Only 2g of fat per serving for the calorie conscious.

The company is buying the turkey and ham. What are you bringing? :9

10. I have options
it's a 6-pack kit of various styles. I think I'll try the lager first.

11. Lagers are more finicky
fermentation temps need to be lower and they take longer
Have you seen this

15. Thanks
That looks like a very good site. I'll read more later.

My brother bought me a Mr. Beer kit for Xmas one year, and that's what I'm using. I know that this isn't as intense as brewing from scratch, but it's still fun.

2. My company is having a luncheon for us at Dave & Buster's
next Wednesday.

The menu is:

Italian Roasted Rosemary Chicken

House Salad

Linguini Alfredo and Cavatappi Posta with Marinara

Red Skin Mashed Potatoes

Garden Vegetable Medley

Fresh Baked Rolls with Butter

Gourmet Dessert Bar Assortment

Coffee, Tea or Soda

I'm a vegetarian, so I won't be eating the chicken. But there is plenty more for me to feast on, especially the dessert bar.

3. I'll bring the Christmas cookies!
Frosted & decorated sugar cookies from Mon's recipe - they never fail. Or I could bring Mom's "Frosty Mandarin Dessert" (orange jello, orange sherbet & mandarin oranges - it's scrumptious).

12. Me
I mean, certainly that should be enough.

Should I wear the pasties and feather boa, or leave them at home?

13. We've got two holiday luncheons coming up at work next week
One one Monday...your choice of either turkey and trimmings or veggie lasagna. Paper's doing that one but I think (I hope) that's my day off, so....

Other one is Wednesday...newsroom pot luck. Some stuff (I think meats) are being provided, but we're s'posed to bring something. I might bring tamales.

On the 22nd I'm bringing a big plate of cookies, candies and tamales.
