I could probably put this out on another thread and get lots of ideas but ...Phfft! Why do that?

Here's the story:

Hub wants to have a little Xmas party for his employees/people he works with and spouses if they are so inclined. About 30 people. Trying to make this as easy as possible since most of it falls on me. We have decided to do a wine, cheese, chocolate type thing. Will have beer and soft drinks, too. gluten-free crackers, fruit...

I'm going to go heavy on cheese like cheddar from Costco but will get a few odder things. gluten-free crackers so I don't have to worry.

J & M make great fudge and toffee. J makes great PB truffles. I can make them, too, if they don't have time. Also, I have made some coffee/choc and amaretto truffles. I think I can make these ahead & freeze.

Here's the questions for my wise and experienced partiers:

Sound OK? Enough food?

Have to roll truffles in things. Can't use graham crackers unless I use a gluten-free kind. Use crushed peanuts and those little chocolate jummy sprinkle things. If I could get red & green ones, are they gluten-free? Will have to look.

Something else I could serve?

What do I do if someone brings glutinous cookies? I don't want to worry about the crumbs in my left overs. Hub maybe can tell them not to, they all know I have Celiac.

Thanks!

Dietz and Watson and Boars Head have gluten-free Ham. You could get it sliced thick and put it on toothpicks or thin and roll it.

Now Klark REALLY wants me to come lay down. I'm sure I'll be back later!

Maybe a chocolate, mint coconut ice cream type blender drink? Sounds good!

You won't want to come here. First we had the rampaging chimp, now we have pigs running loose in downtown. Turns out they just wanted to be petted. I have teen age boys running amuck by my house. :huh:

I took a nice long nap. Now we're going to couch plop again.

Thanks for all of the support and well wishes about the biopsy and our cousin. Now I'm going to call the restaurant where they're having lunch after to make sure I can have them microwave my lunch (in it's SEALED container) or if they have a gluten-free menu. Otherwise I can wait until I get home or snack in the car. I'll be able to nuke my dinner Sunday night at out cousins' house (while enjoying wine).

Somehow I think my airfare may be a little more, and don't say go cattle class cos I already do that :o And they even cut out the pre-dinner cocktails and you can't bring on yer own, and that's what used to make it bearable. I think you would need a lot more wodka if I was to come :ph34r:

Clay is the only one running amok in my house, and he does NOT want to be petted :huh: Prefers to rage on about incompetence and possible conspiracy theories....:blink: If he gets close enough I might try petting, but it will be dangerous

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Your response on this matter is what I expect. You’ve had a similar episode years ago, but this one is lasting longer!

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?
