It was a very nice evening. I mixed up some Glühwein. It was easy and tasted authentic. In attendance at the party were Audra and Steve, Jen and Chris, and John. I decorated the donnavilla so everything looked festive. Lisa lit the fire. The stereo played Christmas songs– until everyone decided they wanted to hear the Black Eye Peas sing My Humps. The Baked Ziti, meatballs, and Texas Toast were gobbled up quickly. I wish I could have served ziti and meatballs at a hotter temperature but I was worried about cooking them for too long and drying them out. Jen brought the Maker’s Mark Bread Pudding. It was delish! I also made my famous gingersnaps. They were declared good by all who ate them.
