My friend, the Jello Shot.

OK , so, like,............. On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 12 hard fast quickies, 11 fetish wishes, 10 large vibrators, nine long pie eatings, eight hot wax playings, seven pocket rabbits, six hidden hickeys, five George Clooneys, 4 BUTCH-like girls,3 porn tapes, 2 fU*(Ck me pumps, and rechargeable batteries.

Can I just mention a shout out to my friend Rosie of Kitchens are Monkey Business before I begin.... The lady is in the midst of posting about her 40 different Christmas Cookies she makes each year. They all look wonderful, so if you're in need of some to add to your repertoire, please go visit her like NOW.

Now for the rest of this Holiday month, my posts will not be my norm with the step by step type of things I usually do, but just a few pics and the recipes, as this is a busy time for all, and I need to save time when I can.

Actually, for the rest of the month, you will most likely see cookie baking with the occasionalBlow job. Just seeing if you re reading.

This post happens to be a hodgepodge of "stuff" I brought along to my sisters COCK-tail party. I love that word COCKtail, it is so freaking sexy. I love saying it, Ill have a COCKtail. I love saying it as I push my silky brown, yes brown, hair away from my angelic face.

Without further ado, Of course Jello Shots were the main course for me. Red and Green for fun fun fun drunk sex fun fun fun drunk sex fun. Come. Simple to make,see here or below, endless variety. We just chose what we had on hand, vodka paired with raspberry/strawberry and lime jello. Id imagine tequila--Patron-- would go better with lime. Double the dose in the key ingredient card below and this'll knock you re panties off, that is if you're wearing any. I wasn't. Want to speak attire for a minute? OK, I wore thigh high candy cane striped socks, no panties, tight little black miniskirt, red snowman shirt, long jingle bell earrings, and the highest elf heels imaginable. Of what fun it was to bend over the oven and catch the draft. Not to mention all the OOOHHSSS and AHHHHHHSS I received about my Brazilian. I also brung.. is brung a word, it rhymes with hung, along my concoction of a chicken roasted red pepper veggie sub. I do this by making chicken cutlets, roasting red peppers, and marinating them in olive oil and garlic, seen here, frying up some zucchini and red onion, slicing some fresh mozzarella, and piling all on top of fresh bread drizzled with red wine vinegar, parm cheese, and olive oil. Oh its yummy. Make sure to use some oil from the peppers on this bread.. I always do. The whole 2 subs I made disappeared at this party. I brought along an antipasto pasta salad to go along with this sub sandwich. Simple to make. Just cut up some of this stuff, toss it with the cooked cold pasta, and add dressing, I used a balsamic, recipe on KI card below, and toss and chill.

I then made Cathy's, from Wives with Knives, Cranberry Tangerine Chutneyrecipe here, holy crap is this good stuff, threw it over cream cheese and served it with ginger cookies, and shortbread cookies. Oh so freaking delicious Cathy! What a fantastic keeper of a recipe. SO using it for Turkey Day next year. LOVE it.

And oh yes, what else did I bring to Denise's?? I made Baileys Chocolate Chip Irish Cream pound cake, original recipe here, recipe here and below, along with Monica from Lick the Bowl Good, Baileys frosting/glaze. Oh Yes, yum. Well, people, on my way to shoplift, I mean shop, will see you soon with my beginnings of my baking. Posts should be back to normal step by step theme.. in January without all the flurry of sexual, I mean holiday, activity.

  2. Hmmm did someone have a party without me? Oh well, I will make my own party!! The spread looks great and I had my first jello shot in years last September when we were in the PNW. I saw them in a cooler, and the whole bar went crazy as we did them!

  20. I see that my lovely lovely Donna is back! Missed your shenanigans these past few days. (Weeks? Months? Years?) Jello shots bring so many college memories back for me. Those thigns are so dangerous though because you don't feel them and so you keep eating them and then all of a sudden you are hit with this brick wall of drunkenness. Another good variation is pudding with kahlua.

    My other favorite thing that you have here is Bailey's. everything tastes better with bailey's. Especially baked goods!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ok, I love this post! Makes me laugh and makes me hungry all at once!

  30. Would you believe I've never had a Jello shot? Not sure how that happened...

    All the food looks amazing as always though. Have a good holiday!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Everything looks fabulous, but my favorite is the sub. I can't seem to get enough of them. If I'm not careful, I'm going to look like one. Looks like a great array of party food.

  41. Jello shots are a MUSH for any COCKtail party!!! God, I miss those!

    And I've missed you!!!! I hope everything is better!!! I worry now when you don't post!!!

    In case I don't get another chance...HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think as that last one was posting I saw that I typed MUSH...I mean MUST.

    No, I haven't had any shots tonight (but I need some!)!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'll take a little bit of each but I'll double up on the jello shots. I'm having a late late late happy hour.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I've only heard talk of jello shots, have never had one, but now that I see these,I think I must. Really, jello is good for you right? And there's always room for jello. Yummm... that chutney does sound super good. Love the idea of using it as a spread. I'm going to have to try that one too. I'm on a chutney kick lately.

    Glad to see you back in full swing. You've been missed.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'm glad you posted. I have been missing your crazy posts! You have been so busy! I could use several of those jello shots since my husband has the house torn up on a painting project right now. Perfect timing for painting, what's he thinking! The subs look so good. I can see why everyone gobbled them up. The pound cake with Bailey's would be fantastic and is so pretty with the glaze. However, it's that yummy antipasto pasta salad that is catching my eye and I think I have almost everything I need to make it.

    I'm waiting for you to post your letter to Santa telling him how good you've been this year and telling him what you want :D

  46. what an outstanding collection of tasty things (mr clooney included). frankly, i wouldn't mind living off your leftovers. :)

  47. Bottle of Baileys and shots made of Jello.

    Fresh mozzarella, so shunned by my fellow.

    Pepperoni and chocolate and men with big things.

    These are a few of my favorite things.
