Saturday evening we had some friends, old and new, to our home, for leftovers. A spur of the moment party, although I assured the friends that they aren't leftovers!
Holiday leftovers, not the stuff in fridge since Christmas, (throw that out! ICK) but the leftovers in the pantry and freezer. The appetizers you didn't make over the holiday season but had bought the ingredients for... I had meatballs, pigs in a blanket, some dips, tons of crackers, some bars and cookies in the freezer. We pooled our resources and had a feast. Amazing things showed up.
We also played BINGO with leftover gifts. Bingo can be a lot of fun and competitive. Does anyone know of a local Bingo hall?
I used leftover napkins from all the holidays in 2008. Used them up!
Baked cookies with semi sweet mini morsels, butterscotch morsels and milk chocolate morsels. Used all the leftover chips from holiday baking.
Leftovers can be delicious! They have been given a bad reputation and I think we turned it around. Throw a leftovers party. It's fun.

mmmm I love those cookies!
Such a great idea. I can't find "Catholic Bingo"....but I did find a few others, VFW, Legion, Boys and Girls...and of course the ubiquitous casinos.
I loved the bingo, could pinochle be in my future?
I love left overs. So much fun. Those cookies look yummy!
Seriously, how do you have so much energy, girl? Looks like a lot of fun.
Oooo... yummmyyyy. Those cookies look divine. Is it okay to lick the monitor?
I LOVE the idea of a leftovers party. I have a friend who has a "Saturday after Thanksgiving" party every year. He deep fries a turkey and everyone bring just leftovers. It's so fun.
I'm deep into your blog. Your house is AMAZING. AMAZING.
My friends back in Brad Pittville are stealing the idea from your blog... hope that is ok. You never know... Brad's mom may end up at a Leftover Party! Great Idea! Hope there are Left overs for me to enjoy Friday night!
