2008 - DECEMBER HOLIDAY PARTY APPETIZER & DESSERT CHALLENGE |
|
Instead of a Bead Challenge this month, we had our annual Dessert and Appetizer Challenge. Winners took home gift certificates from Beads by Design or glass related goodies. Everyone got to eat the entries. The Web Mama and Andrew Lunde took these photos but since each entry was identified by a number, we are not sure who made what. But we are sure they were all luscious. And everyone sampling them (below) agreed.

The Appetizers
|

A Ritzy
Dip with Beaded Spreaders
|
|
Stuffed
Mushrooms and roasted nuts.
|
|
Kiln Baked
Weenies and Meatballs
|
|
The Web Mama (Linda Edmunds) won first prize for
her kiln baked weenies and meatballs appetizer. Presentation is
everything when the entrant can't cook! And those BBD gift
certificates are a great motivator. |
|
Gerry and/or Stephanie White
came in second with their delectable stuffed mushrooms but neither would
admit being the chef.
|
|
The Desserts The desserts were unusual - unusually delicious! Andrew and I were glad we got photos before members finished their appetizers because almost nothing was left on the dessert table at the end of the meeting. |
