This is an awesome idea. May I please be invited? I will bring warm homemade applesauce to serve with these.


I would, but unfortunately, I'm not hosting this year. Oddly enough, this year is being hosted by the Jewish friend who started this. I'll have an extra latke in honor of DCUM (okay, twist my arm!)

Don't hold the vodka. Make Jolly Rancher candy vodka for shots or to pour in small bottles as gifts.



Ugh, don't make this a party gift unless you are in Daytona for spring break.

If you go with a kale salad, make sure it's baby kale.
