in No Country for Old Men? (groan...) Baby vegetables for Juno? (and everyone has to give theirs to someone else)

Since we have small kids, and can’t really get anyone to babysit on NYE, we do lots of hors d’oeuvres too. But we take it in a more lowbrow direction. We do pigs in blanket (lots of 'em), baked brie in puff pastry,...

in a blanket with dijon mustard? Corny-vegas style finger foods for walking and playing cards...or even heck, a cheesey craps table using green felt and pink fuzzy dice! Ha!

, then return to our picnic basket where we have some perfectly fried buttermilk chicken, which we eat as fried chicken is intended to be eaten, with our fingers. We nibble fresh baby carrots and crisp celery with our entree....

on the bottoms and studded with chives and enough sesame seeds to blanket a House of Bagels bagel, but overly large and, especially disappointing, lacking in chin-drizzling juiciness. Someday I’ll learn not to order these...

Im renting the whole first season of “Mad Men” for a marathon viewing next week and am thinking about inviting some friends. I want to serve era-appropriate “party food” so Im considering pigs in blankets,...

1.) Killer Shrimp on Washington in Venice. 2.) C&O on Washington in Venice (there are 2 restaurants on closer to the beach than the other). 3.) Baby Blue Barbeque on Lincoln before Rose Ave. near Smart & Final.
