OK, that's not completely true. But it is a real benefit to hanging with this crowd. There are times that I vote for books to be read based on the dinner that will come with it. And I know you all do too, because many a book has been "sold" to the bookies with a promise of "Asian food." (Amy likes to eat fried rice.)
On the sentimental side, the recipes of my bookie friends have been integrated into my family in a way that makes us all family. We all have our "specialties" that are looked forward to, nay, demanded for certain occasions. What would Christmas be without wassail or chocolate fondue? How would any of us survive without that hot Latin girl's Mexican caviar? (just for the record, I've never seen her in a "wife beater") We will even eat bacon wrapped smokies when they have been burned beyond recognition. We love each other and love to cook extraordinary recipes that our families wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
And for those (you know who you are) who will want to remind me of the "Velveta Fudge Incident." All I've got to say is...DOCK MY PAY!!
"She who eats the fastest, gets the most!" Amy Colby (hot Latin girl with a big appetite)
Here is one of our favorites:
Paula's Smokey Bacon Wraps
1 lb bacon
1 (16 oz) package mini smoked sausage links
1 cup brown sugar
Cut each bacon strip into thirds.
Wrap one piece of bacon around each sausage.
Place in a foil lined 15x10x1 (jelly roll) pan.
Sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake uncovered at 400 for 30-40 minutes, or
until the bacon is crisp and the sausage is heated through.
DON'T BURN THEM, IT WILL RUIN YOUR DAY!
P.S. I'm the hula hoop queen. This is a fun crowd, but no one wants to hoop with me! More on that later.

Kris is a fantastic cook, but that doesn't mean we won't mock her for the "velveeta fudge incident"! It's probably the only food incident we can hold against her, so we have to get as much mileage out of it as possible.
