Ideas for food for revel alliance party: Let me know what you like, or if you want to bring anything. Stuff on my shopping list for tonight, let me know if you're bringing anything on this list:: For chilli: Sour Cream Beef For Milkshakes: (pretty much everything) Milk Ice Cream Fruit Ovaltine (for malted milk shakes) ??? Misc: Other people are bringing: Bob Senter: thermonuclear chocolate chip cookies Francois: chocolate truffles I've made two pots of Chilli using approximately the same ingredients: Veggie Chilli: black beans tomato puree cumin coriander anise seed New Mexico Chillies California Chillies garlic chipotles One batch is "warm" the other has about 3x as much chillis and cumin. They are both a little "light" on the beans. While chilli is best when everything is cooked together for a long time, what I may well do is cook up some more beans, some meat etc. and place them out for folks to make their own custom chilli to their own taste. I also picked up some habaneros at the store (isn't living in California grand?) and have a couple large jars of artichoke hearts. I'll probably also put out tortillas, cheese, sour cream etc. Quesadillas: Tortillas Brie Lox bits Pesto Pizza: Telephone Round Table Milkshakes: Ice cream milk fruit malt (ovaltine) Chicken (?) Soup: Thaw out from freezer Soft drinks: Coke Pepsi Kerns stuff Water Booze: I've got lots of cheap liquor Various bottles of wine There's a bunch of IPA in the fridge Stuff that got bumped due to time: I'd like to do Tingas, but may not have the time. beef onions chipotles Split Pea Soup: (vegetarian) peas garlic salt
