Each year our apartment complex hosts a Christmas party for all the residents. I always find someone intersting to talk with and many goodies to eat. There's also a drawing for prizes but I've never won anything. This evening's conversations ranged from real estate woes to travel plans to where a college professor got his doctorate. All very nice, but I must admit I was more atracted to the food. They had my favorite wine, Moscato, and usual goodies like mini hot dogs, meatballs, shrimp and skewers of chicken (all with the appropriate sauces of course). The best item I tried, which was new to me, was a jalapino pepper stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. It was a little hot but yummy. Of course it's hard to go wrong if you wrap something in bacon.
I am definitely in a Chirstmas food mood. I don't traditionally bake cookies but a friend recently gave me a recipe for sweet rolls that sounds easy and really yummy. I will be trying them for my Christmas day brunch. I told my family that we are doing brunch this year instead of the usual evening dinner. Everyone seems to think that's a fine idea, especially since I offered to host it.
