A tale of new years eve

[plural]

I hosted a New Years Eve cocktail party
bought a case of bubbly for a champagne fountain

whipped up a fabulous dip bar

On the dipping side

I had the following dips

Creamy herb (zesty)
Cheddar and roasted peppers (savory)
Bruschetta (mmm mmm good)
Black bean and white corn salsa (mild)
Jalepeno Salsa (four alarm)
Chile con Queso (a sneaky four alarm)
Creamy Artichoke (served hot mmm)

And the following dippees

Crostini
Pita chips
Old school tortilla chips
A bevy of veggies

For finger foods

Risotto balls
Sun dried tomato tarts
Pesto twisties
Cajun quesadillas (sliced into 16ths)

and of course
a tray of mammoth olives

for dessert

Champagne fountain and a variety of chocolates.



this is the spread minus the hot items
[which were being kept warm in the kitchen]


the dessert table


looks pretty sweet eh?

well it was

quite tasty

especially the spicy stuff

but you wanna know the kicker?

the icing

no

the cherry on the top?

...

wait

...

wait for it

...

k, ready?


nobody showed up.

yup, I had twenty confirmed guests and about fifteen that were maybes or would drop by
and not a soul showed up

so at eleven I said fuck it
locked up the house
and headed out to my friends bar
got really drunk

brought a bunch of my friends by after to eat the food
and we stayed up drinking
well into the next afternoon
was great fun

its rather funny actually because most of them
were on my original invite list
but as they work at bars
were working new years
so I invited other people instead

anyway
I'm not very impressed with the twenty no shows
but
I had a fabulous nye regardless
