Question:
1. About carrot sticks. Avoid them. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday
buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see
carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt
scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You
can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it
has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into
an egg-nogaholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me.
Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy.
Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy.
Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or
whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car
with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your
eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other
people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? Remember college?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Years.
You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the
time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while
carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted
Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near
them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of
attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. You can't leave them
behind. You're not going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if
you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have
three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory
celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards,
mate.
10. And one final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party
or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Reread tips.
Start over. But hurry! Cookieless January is just around the corner, and
most of all, have a Great and SAFE Holiday Season
.
Thanks for tips!
I will do my VERY BEST to follow all of them. They sound completely reasonable to me!!!;) ;) ;)
A little tip for great holiday feasting. Only eat from the five basic food groups:
[SIZE=4]SUGAR[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]STARCH[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]FATS[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]ALCHOL[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]SALT[/SIZE]
If your holiday foods do not have at least one of the five basic food groups it is not worth eating. And definitly will not bring about any holiday cheer.
We eat from only Mitch's food groups, but the order is different. Alcohol comes first, of course!
As to that, we make this special drink called Glogg ( pronounced gluurg ). It takes about 7 hours to make and contains many liquors that are too potent to buy in some states. Then it is simmered with spices like cardomon, clove, and nutmeg ( swedish favorites ). Just before sering, a wire rack its placed over the top of the pot, and sugar cubes are put on it. Then you set it on fire until the sugar melts into the pot ( satisfying the sugar requirement ).
Next, it is served in teenie weenie cups, and some folks think that because the cup is so small it must be fine to have several.Hahahaha. It is a nice way to warm things up quickly at the beginning of a night of partying and eating.
Having been served this my whole life, is it any wonder that I have a high tolerance for the tinis?
Happy partying to all.
Eat , drink, and be merry!
'Tis the season!
