No party this year, here or elsewhere, but I will keep up the tradition of making an assortment of finger food type items to munch on, in lieu of a real supper meal. The pizza dough is rising as I type this entry.
- pizza, probably sliced St. Louis style, instead of in wedges
- salmon cake sliders from the leftover baked salmon we had last night
- tortilla chips with homemade chili, salsa, and queso
- crudités, with blue cheese dressing
Unfortunately, we didn’t find ground pork during yesterday’s grocery run, so my usual potstickers and dipping sauce are off the menu. We have the frozen raw shrimp, but without ground pork in the mix, it’s not the same. No need to make chicken skewers with satay sauce. I think we have enough with the other items. The other thing I sometimes make is shrimp/cabbage/carrot spring rolls. We don’t need them, though.
I’ll sort of miss the Asian flair added to the mix. This menu is less complicated, though.
I’ve no idea what the line is on tonight’s game, and don’t care enough to bother looking it up. But, I would like to see KC whoop Brady’s rear end. Either way, we’ll be snacking, sort of watching the game, and enjoying some beer and wine with the food. Beer will go with the pizza and build-your-own nacho components. A nice Chenin Blanc or Voignier will go with the salmon sliders. We’re all set.
