3668.0. "PARTY: No Cooked Food" by TNPUBS::MACKONIS (We are a compromise of nature!) Thu Oct 29 1992 11:22

Well, I am finally moving into the "House from Hell" Friday and am planning
on having an unpacking party.  However...............

*  The stove is not yet hooked up
*  There is no hot water

Sounds like fun, huh?  I wanted something simple, and I figured Pizza (can be
reheated in microwave if it gets cold) and tossed salad purchased from Shaws.
What else would you recommend?  Chips and dips?  How about something
sweet?  I wanted something that would be self serve and simple.

3668.1Here is an idea!ICS::ANDERSON_MThu Oct 29 1992 13:2732
    When I moved into my new home - it was the first of December and
    very cold.  Friends of mine brought over some Dunkin Donuts and
    a couple of thermos's of coffee - which got us off to a good start.
    
    We ordered in pizza, soda's and I had chips - but if you want to
    be a bit "different" you could:
    
    Get a couple of coolers.  Fill one with soda, juice and beer (if
    you drink the stuff) and the other filled with dips and you could
    make a Muffilatta.  The recipe is in here...I'll try and find it and 
    post the number in another reply.  It's delicious and if you had 
    some chips on the side - it would be MORE than enough.
    
    For dessert.  Well, so many supermarkets have their own bakery's
    now - if you don't have the time to prepare anything ahead of
    time - perhaps you could pick up freshly baked brownies - a box of 
    eclairs ... or how about some decorative cookies, pies or spicy 
    breads which are also available.
    
    Enjoy the move - it can be fun!

    P.S.  Have your camera handy.  It's always fun to get shots of
          people at a gathering - and something you can look back on
          later on.
    
          Perhaps at Christmas - after you have settled in - take
          one of the snapshots of "moving day" - have duplicates
          made and insert them in their Christmas cards!  People
          love getting pictures!
    
3668.2Chineese BuffetSALEM::GARIEPYThu Oct 29 1992 13:346
    Another idea (if you are lucky enough to have a chineese restaurant
    around that home delivers - like in Derry N.H.) order chineese food.
    You can prepare your menu in advance and call it in when you are about
    ready for it. I'm sure that would surprise your frirends.
