Party Time!
Yes, this was originally posted on Friday, March 8th, but I wanted to keep it at the top for the blog party! Newer posts are below, including other Blog Party posts.
What do you do when you're in the midst of moving and got boxes and disaster all over your house? Have a party, of course!
No, I'm not having a REAL party, but I'm participating in the cyber party. You know me, the party girl. Actually, I was usually the hostess of the get togethers. Honestly, you do NOT want to see me dancing on the tables.
The Ultimate Blogging Party is the blogosphere way to mix and mingle and make new friends. Making new bloggy friends is a good thing. The past four months have brought some cool people into my life.
Oh right, I need to introduce myself! I'm Suzanne and I live in Florida (don't hate me because I'm warm right now). I have a very busy life, with a husband and two boys (Gameboy and Chef Jr). We're in the midst of moving, I'm dealing with some health issues and I've got my plate full of things to do. Life is never boring. As I frequently tell others, I don't know what I'd do with a quiet existence.
I started blogging over two years ago at a friend's insistence. I'm in that small percentage of people who didn't stop writing soon after starting because that's the way I roll. For some crazy reason, I thought NaBloPoMO was a good idea to join. It was. Then I joined Holidailies and had even more fun. Then, what the heck, I'll do Blog365. I joined BlogHer. Along the way, I'm having lots of fun and meeting so many cool people. So to all you new readers, hello. Have some food. To the long timers, you can take them aside and warn them about the crazy family members! ;)
So, in the spirit of my party hosting days, I bring you some food. :)
NY Diner Style Home Fries:
Cajun Crab Cakes:
And the wine rack up top is filled with PRP Wine's finest. Well, it was. That's an old picture and I think the wine holder right now has different wines. Odds are good that there are no bottles of white in it at all.
To be honest, I'm hopeful that the move to Lakeland means we'll have company again. It doesn't make a hostess happy when the guests are few and far between. So having some guests to my internet house will have to do for now!

Thanks for stopping by my place and commenting and have fun at all the parties!!
160 Acre, we still have boxes from moving IN to this place. It's been funny, moving boxes out of the garage and saying "That's where my deep dish pizza pan is! Oh, we found my shoes! There's the box we were going to send Joyce when she was pregnant with the D man!" It's hilarious. Not as hilarious as having helpers, though.
What is the sauce on those fries?
It's not a sauce. The fries start out with a 1/2 cup of butter or olive oil melted in the pan. Then I add a lot of garlic powder, onion powder and paprika, which really gives that color. After that, there's pepper, salt and about a 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder.
Not quite what the original recipe calls for, but they don't taste right to my family without that curry now!
I'm inviting you to party with me!

Happy Partying!
Brines, I am on my way. Chocolate from Down Under? It'll go well with one of my favorite beverages from there, Golden Tango Cream. Yum.
Just today, we were discussing where we could find a rain barrel for the new place.
