I just thought this was cute. No recipes but it made me giggle and I thought you all might enjoy it as well as we prepare our tables and bellies for the next few holiday weeks!
HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
>
> 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table
> knows nothing of the Christmas spirit . In fact, if you see carrots, leave
> immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
>
> 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare.. You cannot
> find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has
> 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an
> eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me.
> Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas !
>
> 3. if something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy.
> Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed
> potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
>
> 4. as for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or
> whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car
> with an automatic transmission.
>
> 5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control
> your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other
> people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
>
> 6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's.
> You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the
> time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table
> while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
>
> 7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like
> frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position
> yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before
> becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes.
> If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
>
> 8. Same for pies. Apple , Pumpkin , Mincemeat . Have a slice of each. Or
> if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have
> three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? LaborDay?
>
> 9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory
> celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some
> standards.
>
> 10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or
> get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips;
> start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner
