The first day of June has come and gone, and I know you've been waiting to hear about this month's Blog Party. Sorry! It's just that I've been away...alien abduction? Out-of-body experience? Sucked into a parallel dimension?
That's for me to know, and you to keep on guessing.
But hopefully, you've got a clue to our latest cocktail party theme: Sci-Fi.
Oh, yes it is. This month, we're going the route of the weird and wonderful.
This is a chance to experiment, to use your imagination. Or, to break out your DVD set of the original Star Trek series, and 'replicate' (ha!) some of the foods from the show.
Explore your favorite science fiction and fantasy novels, rent movies...or just get creative.
Because for June, we're turning our amazing appetizer-making powers on Stun(ning), and creating the most Sci-Filicious small bites.
This is your opportunity to get wild and crazy...use color! Odd shapes! Get spacey!
Ok, enough with the puns. Down to details.
Since we've gotten off to a late start, your entries will be due Thursday, 28 June. The party round-up will be held that Saturday, the 30th.
The rules are the same: each entry should include both an appetizer and a cocktail/mocktail/beverage, at least one of each. One is fine, more is fantastic.
Still want more? Here you go:
What, in my opinion, qualifies as cocktail food:
Still have questions? Here's a fairly helpful guide.

Here in Tennessee it's absolutely beautiful. Sunny skies, trees and flowers in bloom, warm weather without the buzz-kill of humidity (for the moment). Everything sings "Spring is here! And Summer's coming, soon!". A walk through the produce section...

I'm not sure how it happened. Word of mouth, maybe? Perhaps there was a posting somewhere, and I didn't see it. Mass emails? I just don't know. Apparently, the message given was this: Blog Party=Ladies Night. Ten Blog Parties under our stylish...

(This Blog Party announcement is brought to you a bit late due to the confusion over when Thanksgiving was to be held in the US...my bad) You may or may not have snow on the ground (my hometown's already been hit), your temperatures might be in the...

Blog Party#23: Sci-Fi Party

Still want more? Here you go:
What, in my opinion, qualifies as cocktail food:
- Finger foods: anything that can be picked up, carried around and eaten with one hand...the use of the second hand as crumb catcher is perfectly acceptable
- Dippers: vegetables, crackers, bread, chips, breadsticks and any inventive foods which are used for scooping or spreading dips and uh...spreads
- Miniature meals: by this, I mean a normal-sized dish, cut or displayed as
individual servings. A quiche, cut into small enough pieces to be eaten
in less than four bites would be accepted.
