We ended up playing Scattergories (I won as per usual) and watching the Twilight Zone marathon. We didn't have time for Seinfeld Scene It, but we'll play tonight if this football game the male people are watching will ever end...
Onto the disgusting crap!
For starters we had peach bellinis (the vermin had given Don the bellini mix as a Christmas present--thoughtful!) for us grown-ups and various sparkling fruit beverages for the rug rats.
Then we had these fun little bite-sized salads--very easy to make! Just get these little cracker bowl things and place inside: one half cherry tomato, one half mozzaralla ball, a little fresh basil and a drop of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Delicious!
Then we had various puffy pastry treats which included:-beef wellingtons
-fig and goat cheese toasts
-stuffed mushrooms
-phyllo-wrapped blue cheese and cranberry and...
-mini quiches
Some cheeses and pates:
(Those are raisins on that cheese if you were wondering. Also, nobody ate it.)
And for dessert we had cupcakes from a fancy gourmet cupcake place with flavors including...
-bacon maple (for Pickle!)
-banana spiced rum
-champagne brie
-salted caramel and...
-strawberry balsamic.
Crazy delicious!
And some kooky ice creams by Vosges:
(Ancho chili-chocolate and curry-coconut.)And don't forget the grapes!
We all ate 12 grapes at midnight and the new year must off to a good start because they were all good.
Disgusting Crap? I think not!!
Pickle says "Happy New Year!!"
And don't forget to check out Candid Carrie and all her phrenzied Phriday Foto Phun!!

So funny - I love that you still had grapes! Those cupcakes look YUMMY!
Because of you dahling we had grapes on skewers...inside our champagne glasses...they weren't weet so I stopped at or around April!
The food looks great and pickle looks devine!
Love her lil skirt!
Food looks yummy!
I think your disgusting crap looked pretty good!!
Well, Don lived thru that one, but I'm sure he has learned his lesson:) LOL
Looks all good!
Glad you started the new year off right!
Oh Jennifer... that is a list of nearly all my favourite things... I would have eaten the raisin covered cheese, particularly if it was a roquefort or fetta. Those little salad thingies were such a picture, I have never considered that before (old dogs still learn). Mini salads will definitely become a feature at my place, so simple.
Happy New Year Pickle all the way from Brazil

Well if Don thinks that is disgusting crap I'd hate to see what he thought about the hillbilly food we ate at our NYE party! Looks divine :)
Popping over from Candid Carrie.
My gosh...that stuff looks GOOD...i'm actually salivating...lol..
love the pic of Pickles..soooo cute
That looks amazing! I'll take a plate of disgusting crap, please! Oh and a glass of disgusting crap-lini, also!
We watched the Twilight Zone marathon too :)
Nothing disgusting about any of that .. it all looks so yummy, especially since I haven't had my breakfast yet!!
Don't understand why nobody ate the cheese and raisins. They go really well together. In fact, I often make myself cheese and raisin sandwhiches. Yummy.
Pickle looks so cute and a Happy New Year to her as well :-)
What a delicious lookin' spread. I'd be very fond of all the those puff pastry goodies, I think. ;P
Now I'm hungry and will go have a doughnut!
hahahah.....that all looks GREAT!!!! I love those little single salad things......I will have to try me some of that disgusting crap!
I'm glad your grapes were sweet.....I wanted to try that but I was too lazy to go to the store....plus the last few grapes I've had were not sweet....so I didn't want to take any chances!
Glad you all had a happy disgusting New Years party!!!
That little Pickle still looks cute as ever this year!!!
That food looks amazing! :)
Happy, Happy 2009! :)
Whew, those pictures are making me hungry, how YUMMY!!
Happy 2009!
I think all of this sounds delicious!
My extended family thinks we eat weird stuff and calls us 'food perverts' !!
You had quite the spread. It all looks delish, especially the curry ice cream.
Oh I wish I could sache around that buffet right now...I'd have three of everything...very nice disgusting crap I would say. I hope Don is out of the dog house!
I would take that kind of disgusting crap any day!
ha! I love it! Take that, Don! :) Seriously though, I SO want to try those cupcakes! Neato! Glad it turned out great. Pickle looks beautiful as usual!
Pickle and her bacon cracks me up! Sounds like a blast!
Uh - bacon maple cupcakes?
Looks like you guys had a good new years!
Happy New Year, Pickle!
I want all of that disgusting crap.
Fantastic! That was definitely NOT crap!
Looks like a great feast!
Bacon maple cupcakes??? Get OUT!!!
Salted Caramel cupcakes sound good to me... have you tried the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Starbucks? It. Is. Divine.
Sounds good to me! Hope the hubby was 'satisfied" with his grapes!
there is no way that that is disgusting crap. It is so far from it. I would love to eat that stuff. Yum!
ooooh! Yummy cupcakes!
Twilight zone is so creepy. i hated watching that show.
Went back and read the disgusting crap post...too funny!
You go all out for your NYE shing ding...I went out and bought nachos, twizzlers, and chicken tenders!
Good eats! Nice of the vermin to bring Don a gift.
Something on my blog for you.
Geez. You always have such yummy looking food. I feel sorry for the cheese raisin thingie that no one ate.
All of that looks soo good! I am definitely going to make those mini-salads some time. How neat! Plus I absolutely adore fresh mozzarella. I could eat it by the tub full.
Oh Don, my my my.. I tell ya what Jennifer, send Don on over and I can give him a good take on what "disgusting crap" really is!! I found appetizer leftovers from Chiristmas in the frig today! And then I'll send Big Daddy over to your house....no wait... he'll want to move in once he sees your Divine Buffet!! Whew Girl, you out did yourself on that!!
