Another legendary Twisted & Enchanted Holiday Party is now behind us (that's Twisted Oak and Enchanted Workshop, Mrs. Jefe's gift store.) I believe everyone survived - though these three look a little worse for wear... there certainly was plenty of food: fondue apps, "Snoopy" seafood salad, fresh baked rolls, twice baked potatoes, roast beef & roast chicken in the barrel smokers, pumpkin pie, cookies, brownies, and real flaming Christmas Pudding (and a little bit of Flaming Jefe, but no permanent damage. And alas, no photos.)
Plenty of blackmail photos were taken, but I know you don't want to see those. Instead, for a change, you get... me.
Nice boa...
Happy holidays...twisted holidays that is.

Well, I hope you remembered to place a small silver coin in the pudding. Whoever gets it in their slice is rewarded not only with the coin, but wealth throughout the coming year! I fondly remember experiencing this custom one Xmas as a 13 year old at my Aunt and Uncle's home south of London. On that occasion the coin was a sixpence (not exactly a "silver" coin), but alas I didn't not strike it rich! Full scoop here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_pudding

"didn't not strike it rich" - meaning you did! Nice use of the double negative!
No we did not include said silver coin for a couple reasons:
1. Try to find a silver coin these days!
2. With the amount of alcohol that may be consumed at this party, the "Choking Hazard" sign was pointed at "Extreme". Even though most of our staff carries current CPR cards and can execute a perfect Heimlich maneuver, I didn't want to take chances...
cheers! - j
