What to bring to the holiday party...what to bring to the holiday party...what to bring to the holiday party. The question cycled through my brain all day on Saturday. A party of 50 people or so that would be starting at 10 PM...surely there would be no need to bring more booze. And yet, that's what I had planned on doing. Two sixpacks of nicer beer? Ahh, but then who gets them? The hosts? The guest? A party platter, maybe...but so much work. Chopping and slicing and arranging and then "hey, can I get that tray back?" at the end of a drunken night.
And then, another option.
Oh...oh my my. Oh hell yes. Time to put on that party dress. Disposable plastic bin included? 80 rods per bin? Portable, no-mess delivery system of a snack universally enjoyed? This just might work.
No sooner had I gotten the lid off than people were swooping in for more of the precious brown sticks. I stood, agog, as people passed rods to each other, unopened bottles of vodka, gin, and whiskey left untouched by the soaking drunk partygoers.
Next time you want to be a party hero: don't bother with the fancy booze or small tray of brownies. After a couple hours of "mix your own drinks" with other people's firewater, all anyone wants is a 36 ounce bin of baked sourdough love.
