for the intermission goodies at a children's theater ensemble play?
Ticket price is $12, and if I can find a pot, I'll have hot coffee or
tea and chocolate, also cold water.

I'm thinking cookies, lots of cookies, but also maybe muffins? Or
brownies?

No nuts allowed, or I'd bake my killer almond macaroons.

Maybe fruit. I'm debating on that one, since noone has ever offered
that before, but I've seen it at a few adult theaters and am thinking
it wouldn't be a bad idea, and anything leftover will get used up by
me and the spousal unit.

And the weekend after, I get to do it all again, and find out that
_that_ crowd likes a totally different mix than I put out the first
weekend<G>

Suggestions, recommendations, etc. welcome.

TIA

maxine in ri,

For tea, I'm reminded of afternoon tea with scones in England. A famous
match.

[digdigdig] Ah! here's that scone recipe. Hmmm. Only made 15
scones. Will think about it for the Sunday shows.
Someone on the winter thread mentioned cider. A crockpot of that
might be nice.....

Instead of scones, there's always plain ol' brownies. Then there's always
banana cake, in the brownie style. Include ReddiWhip?

I have a recipe somewhere for a hot cranberry punch that's pretty
tasty.

Cranberry juice and orange juice heated with a teaball or muslin
bag with a few cloves, a cracked nutmeg, and some broken cinnamon
stick. Serve hot with sugar or honey on the side and maybe lemon
wedges. This can be made in a crockpot or very clean coffee urn.

Brownies will go like hotcakes. Ditto muffins.

is the food for the kids or the adults, or both?

I would go for brownies as everyone likes them. my son loves cooking with me, he is 2 1/2, and made me chocolate muffins with his mum yesterday. but for his playgroup halloween party we made shortbread and used coloured icing and sweets to decorate them. we made scary faces and monsters.

All the kids loved them, and so did the adults. well so i was told as i was at work when the party was on.

Maybe something like that?

I have an easy recipe for shortbread on my blog at: -http://itcheninthekitchen.blogspot.com/

This appears to be a great one, but I'd add some vanilla extract, and
would up the butter to a full cube (2T):
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,194,...236200,00.html
Using cake flour makes them nicer too. Just use 1 cup + 2T of cake
flour.
Make sure to use whole milk too

I was, of course, joking, and hotcakes are probably not ideal for your
play.

If a brownie isn't all chocolate, it's an abomination. Nonchocolate
eaters should eat something else, like the macaroons or rice crispy
treats... or fruit.

Well, this comes fomr a cake lover, so may not apply. I hate it when I
go somewhere and they do the fruit routine, it is like chickening out,
doing the easiest thing, and disguising it as a public health concern.
Let people worry about their own weight and provide both. As I have a
bunch of apples from the garden I might make a poundcake based apple
cake with cinnamon on top, which is nice and warming in the cold , wet
and dark weather...

Have you ever had a fruit pizza?

At one job, a client delivered fruit pizzas to us at Christmas.

Delicious works of art. Concentric circles of various fruits. And from
memory it looked pretty time consuming to arrange.

A fruit bowl is certainly a different story.

Best,

Andy

That might be similar to teh apple cake I suggested.
Was it a pound cake base with the fruit on top in these fancy
patterns?
Perhaps with a whitewine gel covering it?

Michael,

It was too long ago to remember and I didn't take much notice but the
crust was sweet. Maybe a sweetened puffed pastry (?). I dunno.

I don't know if there was any wine over it. I couldn't taste any.
Probably a mild simple syrup, if anything.

Best,

Andy

I remember that back in the 70s. You baked a thin spongecake in
a special tart pan (10 inches or so) then filled in within the
rim with custard or vanilla pudding. Circles of fruit
(strawberries, grapes, banana slices, etc.) covered with fruit
glaze or diluted jam, served with a dollop of whipped cream.
It was a gorgeous presentation.

Now they make them using sugar-cookie dough for the crust. (Gorgeous,
probably less messy than made with spongecake, but way too sweet IMHO)

I like when people don't even bother to try to even build a fruit
basket, instead just putting a supermarket plastic bag full of apples
out.

It would be cuter in a basic brown bag with the top rolled down like a
pant cuff.

BTW: Are you packing yet?

Packing company comes November 19th...in a way I can't wait, but I'm
sad in a way...I won't really be doing any holiday cooking this year,
and usually I look forward all year to that (unless I want to try to
cook thanksgiving dinner in foil disposable containers.

Do that! Holiday rituals mean a lot to the little ones. They don't
know it now, but someday they'll be telling you about how much fun it
was and how much they appreciate what you did. My son is trying to
recreate everything about his childhood for his son. I find that a
touching tribute.

Select from the following list: Gingerbread, spice cake, coconut cake,
carrot cake, applesauce cake, oatmeal-date cookies, pumpkin bread, and
zucchini bread. Offer hot apple cider, too, and if you can get it, offer to
spike the drinks with Torani Ginger Spice syrup.

If the event is held during the holiday season, gingerbread and pumpkin
bread are excellent ideas.

Has it really become that bad?

I'm assuming this due to issues with children who may be allergic to
peanuts, with parents too lame to teach the afflicted child to be
responsible for his/her own actions, that and you don't want to be
sued into the next life. I hadn't realized this "nuttyness" had
spread to all varieties of nuts. If some "no nut" kid comes to my
house, he's gonna die, cuz I love all kindsa nuts and baking nut
fumes, or even my own muching-an-almond nut breath, will have him
writhig in agony on my floor. I guess I'd better put up a sign in my
yard, "BEWARE OF DANGEROUS NUTS". Use your own interpretation.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.
