Meghan, Megan and I went over to Dave’s early to set up for the party. We put out platters of cheese, meats, and vegetables, made a version of the Dead Man’s Icy Hand punch I wrote about earlier (sans food coloring, alas), and whipped up some stuffed mushrooms, which turned out great.
STUFFED MUSHROOMS
What you need:
4 packages white mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed
The Daily Beast: Foods That Can Kill You Instantly, including Bacon Beeritos and Hot Beef Sundaes. Above: Deep-Fried Cadbury Creme Eggs.
I have a deep and abiding love for Cadbury Creme Eggs, dating back to early childhood. Last Easter, however, Kendrick very sweetly bought me a huge box of the things…and promptly cured me of my desire. I can’t eat them anymore…although I might make an exception for the creation pictured here.
Aaaand…this is why I love Kendrick. This is also why I love Megan.
My favorite picture of the night, Megan and Kendrick getting jiggy wit’ it. Our resident “Dancing Queen” was trying to get the crowd moving all night, and she finally found herself a partner.
I always wanted to get a big kiss from Atreyu.
At Dave’s house (not the Dave pictured above), with the Mad Men.
Checking out the scene on 6th Avenue (the site of the parade) with Erica, Megan, Meghan, and Erica.
(That wrap I’m wearing, BTW, was my other Marshalls purchase on the day I went to the 125th street location, gift card in hand. It’s faux fur-lined, incredibly soft, and was only $19.99!)
Megan, Liz, me, Meghan, Krystal. These girls are FANTASTIC.
With the lovely hostess, a Snow Leopard.
Kate, Cary, Erin & Liz at Dave’s party. We had a perfect view of the parade from the huge picture windows in the living room.
