Well, on September 3rd, I'm hoping to have a surprise birthday party for Stephen. It will be poker themed and will be pretty small since just a couple of our friends can make it that night. Any ideas of SMALL things that I can serve that night? I will be making wings and jalepeno rings for sure...but what else???

Hi hisgal, This was a real hit at a superbowl party that I hosted.
HOT CORN DIP 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 1/2 cups corn kernels (from 4 ears fresh white or yellow corn) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup finely chopped yellow onions 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell peppers 1/4 cup chopped green onions (green and white parts) 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise 4 ounces monterey jack or cheddar, shredded 4 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded 1/4 teaspoon cayenne Tortilla chips, for dipping
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kernels turn deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring often, until the onions are wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the green onions, jalapeno, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Transfer to the bowl with the corn. Add the mayonnaise, 1/2 of the monterey jack and half of the cheddar, and the cayenne and mix well. Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve hot with the chips.

Well, I ended up just getting a large round sandwich from Sam's club. We only had 2 pieces left of it. Then I got a small try of cheese and meat cubes. There wasn't very many people at the party, so that was enough.
Hey, if you look under the ARCHIVES RECIPES, there's some from the football, superbowl, etc..type parties too, don't forget they're all still in there...
What's the next party on the list, Jenn????? Huh????????????

Ummm...I think we're done with parties for a little while now. Maybe for New Year's, but I think the neighbor's said they usually do something for that, so we might not have to do much for that.
