Sorry, everyone--change of plans. The ice storm interfered, long story short, didn't go to the party. Saving the suggestions for another time.

:doh: ...well, of course! Have things improved at all?

Yes and no. We are still one of the very lucky ones who have power, but much of our part of town is still without. Went to the grocery store and Walgreen's tonight, both of them are running on generators. The grocery store had no frozen/refrigerated items at all, so strange to see completely empty coolers, freezer cases, shelves. A woman in line was buying loads of batteries, she still has no power--says she's maybe a week away--and no water because they have a well with no pump. Felt so sorry for her. :sosad:

I does sound crazy, but we have a place in town that serves it. The mixture of salty and sweet is really good. I must admit that the first time I ate it, I had to force myself to try it. One of the better congealed salads.

I've been making this for family get-togethers for years and it's always a hit! As the family has grown, I now have to make two to make sure that there's enough to go around. However, I use unsalted pretzels; they taste just like chopped nuts. In fact, it's hard to convince folks that it's really unsalted pretzels!

Our power finally went on last night after being off for three days. Luckily we were able to get our hands on a generator Friday, so we pretty much camped out in the living room all weekend. Were were able to plug in the electric fireplace, TV and frig, so we had all the necessities:rotfl: Those cold showers were pretty tough though:shock: I heard this morning there were still at least 250,000 folks without power in the area. Power company is working hard trying to get everyone's power back on ASAP.

A generator is a necessity for all of us- our computers must have power for obvious reasons!:roll:
