Party food dinner night

[Yarboosucks]

Dinner tonight in the Yarboo house will be the party food that did not get served because I was distracted by drinking bubbly

I may manage to pull together a salad to go with the duck spring rolls and other assorted offerings from M&S, but other than that it is a feast of little nutritional value!

Does anyone else have this annual event?

Yes, on New Year's Day after a big walk. We enjoy it more than our Christmas Dinner sometimes!

Haha, I was just contemplating the duck spring rolls in my freezer! I was going to do Chinese meatball soup and thought those and the prawn wontons would go nicely. You've just decided me, op, thanks.

Delicious!

Tasty [smile}

We have it on Boxing Day usually. Love party food :)

We do this every year. Was NYE this year as DS was working from home, and DD was at work so lots saved for when she got home. Sometimes I do it on Christmas eve. I do recommend the M&S christmas sausage roll wreath, I had a big chunk of that with some salad for lunch and it was bloody lovely.

We had 'tapas' last night! We had stuffed mushrooms, salad, a ton of Parma ham & olives alongside the mini pork pies, M&S pigs in blankets quiche and fancy seafood lollipops.

Nearly back to normal...

I do a big dinner on NYD for the survivors of NYE... No lunch because I cook my only big breakfast of the year at about 13:00 (we party hard!)

I live in fear of running out of stuff but never do. I have frozen enough for a spontaneous wedding reception but now we must eat the rest!

DH is grinning like the Cheshire cat because this is his favorite meal of the year and we have the house to ourselves.

I love these dinners. The Aldi pork belly bites are lush and I often buy them for a picky dinner. We are having a baked cheese tonight as it’s the final thing left from the holiday period

I've got a prawn ring, some mushroom croquettes and some mac and cheese bites in the freezer. I'm saving them for when DP goes away in a couple of weeks' time because I am Not Sharing.

The dog is feasting on pigs in blankets instead of his normal treats.

We call it a 'picky tea' - just random offerings. Usually when lots of bits and pieces need used up.

DS has just pointed out that he put some stuff in another fridge and so it will be a quite epic feast! Have just remembered that we have some frozen cocktails in the freezer too. Party on!

DS says it is the post-feast-post-party-feast.

NYE is when I do party food, the DC love it!

Oh yeah.
It's usually to get the cheese and biscuits finished off with other bits as well.
Nothing wrong with it at all.
Enjoy!!!!

We had duck spring rolls and breaded chicken bites for dinner one night.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Appalling, made me feel ill all night.

Won’t stop me doing it again though

One of my particular favourites is spending the week after Christmas having the cheseboard and crackers for lunch or tea ❤

Yes! We do this several times over the Christmas period and set aside days specifically for it. I trawl all the supermarkets for ideas in the run up to Christmas then buy / make whatever makes the list ready for the allocated evenings. I love having a mix of things To pick at. We have it with a salad and some dips and finish with some kind of chocolate pudding. It’s the best

Yes, party tea! when I was little I was allowed to eat it sat in front of the TV, a rare treat!

17y DD made similar, minus the salad, for her lunch, mid revision, today - chicken satay skewers, brie bites, mini pigs in blankets, mozzarella sticks, etc. She reckons it has been one of her best meals all week

We did this on Boxing Day in our PJ‘s after Christmas day with the in-laws

There was not a vegetable in sight it was lovely

In fact I think the only lunch thats beat it for her was the one earlier in the week where she sat and ate a lot of the leftover cheese, chutney and crackers.

It’s my fave kind of tea, picnic tea. Enjoy.

We are doing this for tomorrow's dinner.
I have a full unopened cheese board and pate and I can't wait
