I think it would be nice to meet the people I have been chatting with and as long as it doesn't interfere with other events going on I would like to attend.
Significant others / spouses would be ok.
As far as dressing up, hey it's a party and gives us an excuse to show off our hard work.
I personally do not eat chili and I think a varied menu would be much better as opposed to only one thing for a menu.
Paying a small charge would be acceptable for me.

We were thinking we might have it at a hall .... here are some questions for you all ?
We were thinking of spouses / significant others this year ? anyone interested or prefer to have it just us ?
Lots of people have commented that they would like a chance to "dress up" so we could do a more formal event - or just casual ? your thoughts.....
There would probably be a small charge to cover the hall rental, a dj and other incidentals - in addition we thought we could keep costs down if we all bring WLS friendly food.....
In addition not sure how fancy the hall would be - would that be a downer on the dressing up ? There is still a lot to be done - just wanted to put it out there and see what the intersest would me and if we should bother going forward with it......
Looking to hear from all of you on this board and surrounding states if you're willing to travel.....

Tonight I am making Applesauce Chicken in the crockpot from a recipe I found online!

1 1/2 cups no sugar added applesauce
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp garlic or 2 cloves, minced
1 tsp cinnamon
Put chix in crockpot and top w/ onions. Mix the other ingredients together and pour over chicken. 5-7 hours low or 3-4 high. Have not tried this yet, but should be done in a few minutes! Will come back to post how it was!

Breakfast 'Cupcakes
1 pound sausage
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
2 cups half and half
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 425. Place large cupcake liners into a jumbo size muffin tin (one that holds 6 jumbo muffins).
Fry sausage in a skillet and then rinse under ho****er to remove excess grease and set aside. Beat together eggs and half and half. Divide sausage between 6 cupcake liners. Top each with a little cheese then pour egg mixture on top until cups are about 3/4 full. Dont go much over that or the 'cupcakes' will spill over. Bake for 30 minutes or until well browned on the top.
Note: First, this is good for people who are less than thrilled with eggs. This is a modified quiche recipe that is much more custardy than eggy. They keep perfectly stacked in a tupperware container and are good zapped at full power for 1 minute in the microwave (remove the cupcake liner first).
