HOLIDAY PARTY in MASS!

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Hopefully if you have a summer party I can come then

We're definitely planning on having one, especially since we didn't have one this past summer! We have to have the pool liner replaced in the spring, so that'll be out of the way, and, so far, we haven't planned any major projects for summer (I'm sure that'll change somewhat!)!!

Hey Geoff,

We're gonna make it an (almost) all-day thing and start it at about 2pm. As I mentioned before, we could put food out at intervals so there's a constant supply!

So far, unless I'm off, we have Rich, Steve, Gary (?), Bobby, and Ron for Yankee Swap. Anyone else interested? Maybe we could do it at a central time like, about 7pm???

I would say to keep portability in mind. Finger food-type stuff preferably. Yes, we'll have the double oven downstairs available if you need to heat your {fill in the blank}, but folks will have to keep an eye on their own goodies. We'll have a couple of warming trays out if needed. If anyone wants to post what they plan on bringing, go for it! I know I plan on making a gorgonzola dip that can be used for pretzels, tortillas, crackers... whatever. That oughta get the menu ball rolling!

Can't wait! 12 days and counting!

Chuck

p.s.- Rich asked me to mention that we do have an air mattress or two in case they're needed! A queen and a twin IIRC.
 
Shove it in and wait until it gets hot.

~but folks will have to keep an eye on their own goodies.

No I ask you, isn't watching someone else's goodies much more fun and neighborly?
 
And I'm not even going to touch the "queen and a tw

How unlike you not to touch a queen or a twin!!!

Meanwhile, what Rhode Island delicacies will you be bringing (and don't tell me you in a bow!!!)?

Toggie- are you the official goodie watcher? We'll expect pictures!!!

WHAT NEW FRONT-LOADER?
You dirty hold-outs! LOL
 
I've been on this site for a few years but just started posting. I'd love to come to the party, I'm in Franklin, CT I think 1.5hrs away? Since I was about 12 or so, for some reason I've been into appliances! at 14 I picked out all the new appliances for my moms new kitchen (she didn't care one way or the other:))

Hey Dan,

It would be great if you could make it! It's always a super time! I'll repeat the link for the directions below, but if you have any questions, please do email! Actually, we had a good friend in Norwich, and it was 1:15 to his house.

Are you interested in a Yankee Swap? I see Tim Shawn just replied in the positive, so we already have at least 6 participating!

For anyone who doesn't know/remember what a Yankee Swap is...

Each participant brings a wrapped gift. Generally no more than $10 value. Each person's name is put in a hat.

The first person drawn gets to choose from any of the gifts and unwraps it (to oohs and ahhs, no doubt). Another name is drawn, and that person chooses and unwraps a gift. Now, they get to decide if they want to keep it, or swap for what the first person got.

This continues, with each person opening a gift and decidiing whether or not to trade for something that was previously opened.

Most of the time, after the last person participating has either kept or swapped, the person who was chosen first gets to decide whether they'd like to keep what the have or swap for any of the other gifts.

This is always a lot of fun, and more often than not there are one or two gifts that are traded again and again!

Anyway, hope you can make it, and let's hope for good weather!

We are coming and I even convinced my partner to come as well, figuring there are other spouses there that are not quite as "enthused" as we are with our attraction to appliances. Yes count us in on the yankee swap, we do it at Bob's family's Christmas Eve and at our Airstream Club Christmas party.
I am not a chef or a cook, but my friends call me Jane Jetson, as I have to have the newest, most complicated, and fastest appliances:) Really though It'll be great to share my interest with some others.......and I really can cook, with a SMART kitchen......:)

not quite as

Hey Dan,

I'm posting this here so that if there are any other significant others that have any trepidation about coming because of the appliance factor (or lack thereof), they can lay their fears to rest.

It is not a pre-requisite to love appliances or anything about them. The fact that you're with someone who does is close enough (and, Dan, he won't be alone!!!). I'm kinda that way, but Rich is gonna find me a little something to use for the Yankee Swap so we can both play! Most people bring something appliance-related in some way or another, so I know can't be trusted to pick something on my own!!!

Chuck
 
Two words for you Bobby, and they're NOT "Happy Birthday!!!" :-)

Yes, we've heard the same reports. However, remember that, 1) it's only Monday, so they've got plenty of time to get it wrong, B) this far ahead, what they say will come in Friday usually shows up Thursday, and, 3) we will keep an eye on it and post (on this thread) Thursday night or Friday morning at the latest as to whether it's on, or postponed until the following Saturday.

Keep good thoughts folks!!

I'm bringing a dessert

After long discussions with our hosts, it was decided that I should make a dessert. So, I've decided to make Tiramisu. Actually, the full name is Tiramisu Toffee Dessert. Either way, you'll love it.

C'mon, guys, get out your copy of the Mary Margaret McBride cookbook and dig out a cool recipe for the get-together. Let's all post what we're bringing. We wouldn't want to wind up with a table full of fruit salads and nothing else!

Looking forward to seeing all my "old" friends and making new ones.

......or fruit-cakes.

Too many fruit-cakes can't be good.
 
Hep! As of an hour ago, it was a possibility of light flurries on Friday.

But, it's supposed to be something like 20 degrees out! Yes, the fireplace(s) will be lit!!!

Chuck
 
Any idea of how many inches we are gonna get?

Oh, Toggle {tittering}, art thee a size queen?

They're talking random snow showers. That's basically flurries. A little may come down, blow around, enough to cover the yellow spots... maybe!

FYI, NY, NY, is showing the same forecast.
