THE PARTY THEME SURE TO SWEEP THE NATION
The woman I volunteer to see on behalf of ElderHelp always gives me something when I visit. Yesterday, it was kidney beans. She really means well and she hates to waste anything, but I wasn't sure I could put those beans to good use myself. Then a brainstorm: why, I'd make my mom's famous taco salad. The one with crushed doritos, thousand island dressing and kidney beans. It just could work. I'd be a culinary sensation and Rebecca could rest easy knowing not one kidney bean was tossed down the drain, unlike the sardines she gave me last year.
So, I did it. Then, another brainstorm: why, I'm gonna throw a party! Yes, a My Mom's Recipes(tm) party. I'll invite all my girlfriends over for a potluck of "mom's recipes." Everybody has one or two dishes that remind them of home, right? Let's prepare them culinarily and have a shindig! It'll be a women empowerment thing: paying homage to the women that made us strong...or weak with stomach upset, as the case was sometimes with my own mama. But that's not nice. And this is about nice! And women! And comfort foods, shitty or not. So I'm gonna make the doritos taco salad, the veggie pizza made with croissant dough and cream cheese and a big ole platter of vanilla pudding with melted marshmallows on top!
It's OK, you can copy my party idea. Just please use the trademark.
