Way too fancy! I cook everything for Thanksgiving and Christmas. New
Years is low key junk food. We are having these today and tomorrow.

1. assorted sliced vegetables with Hidden Valley powdered buttermilk
ranch dressing and what you have to do to make it.
2. home made meatballs and factory made little smokies simmered in a
slow cooker barbecue sauce recipe.
3. deviled eggs, sixteen halves.
4. Chung's pork egg rolls [frozen], but baked when we eat them if
needed.
5. T.G.I. Friday's [frozen] stuffed jalapeño poppers but deep fried
when we eat them if needed.

I see that we are already into tomorrow, so Happy New Year everyone!
