Cold dishes such as fresh fruit should be placed in containers of ice that hold serving bowl securely but keep contents icy-cold. A green tablecloth marked with white-chalk goal lines is fun and decorative. Invitations can include an envelope with "game" tickets to your home event, as well as a printed season schedule for team of choice. Many banks and insurance companies have these for free. A main course of hot, spicy chili with crackers, extra cheese, onions, and hot peppers or an on-going supply of your favorite "hot wings" is a sure-fire bet for success. Beverages can include a hearty punch, beer, wine, slush, carbonated beverages, and coffee. Having a variety of dips, salsas, and spread adds to festivities. Dessert items: brownies, extra-large chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies, pound cake cubes with strawberry and chocolate sauces available, fruit compote, rice pudding - However you set up your buffet, have fun and ENJOY! ©Arleen M.

Caramel apples easy way! *** A great way to grace your table with apples: Cut top off an apple. Scoop out inside, leaving 1/4" thick shell. With pointed sharp knife, mark petal shapes; cut along markings. Brush cut edges with lemon juice to prevent browning. Fill with a fruit salad, ice ceram, or lettuce salad, also rice or corn. A very nice addition! ********* Pan-fried apple slices: 2 red cooking apples, cored 2 tbs. butter, softened 1/2 cup apple jelly Cut apples into 1/2" thick wedges. In a pan over medium heat, in hot butter, cook apple wedges about 7-9 mins. or until apples are crisp-tender. With a pancake turner, turn wedges once during cooking. Stir in apple jelly; heat through. Serve with baked ham or with pancakes. ***** All-time favorite - a fresh from oven piece of your favorite apple pie - with our without that scoop of vanilla ice cream. Ah! beauty of life. ENJOY! ©Arleen M. Kaptur 2002 October
