What the heck? It's November already? Someone please explain to me how that happened...
Well, it's definitely here, and that can only mean one thing: 53 shopping days till Christmas!
Um...ok. I guess it means two things. Time for the latest Blog Party theme reveal!!
That's right. Forget the chocolate bars and candy corn, it's time to 'save the date' for the coolest virtual cocktail party on the Web. And for our 28th get-together, we're skipping the sweet potatoes, tossing out the turkey, and just generally ignoring the whole (US) Thanksgiving domination.
Because we like to be different at Blog Party, that's why.
No, this month, we're taking a different direction. For November, we're putting on the safety goggles. This time, we're creating Fusion. Food fusion!
Yes, it's a trend, and Blog Party usually shies away from all that's trendy. But I love the idea of blending flavors and cuisines (as you may have noticed). And what better excuse to play with your food than this?
Toss some Asian spices in your Southern comfort food. Could French go with Tex-Mex? I don't know! But this is an excellent chance to find out. Play around in the kitchen, create something different. Mix your flavors, rearrange the gastronomic globe. Get creative!
Blog Party, the virtual cocktail party, is a place where we can all get together and kick back for one evening each month, with kindred spirits---foodies who love bite-sized foods and mixed drinks (alcoholic and non). The only requirements for getting on the 'guest list' is to make both an appetizer and a beverage (yes, you have to make at least one of each), in accordance with the theme, and share with the group.
This month, pair up interesting food flavors in mini form, shake up more than the basic vodka martini, and get your Fusion entries to me no later than Thursday, 15 November. I'll have the usual music choices and cool party accessories for you that Saturday, the 17th.
You can leave your entries in the comments section of any post here, or email them to thehappysorceress at gmail dot com.
And as always, I hope to see you there!

- Blog Party#36: Blogger's Choice
It's here! Blog Party's third anniversary!!! Can you believe it? Our 36th party...it seems like only yesterday we were prepping our first appetizers and shaking up the very first martinis! But in fact, it's been three years. Three fantastic...
- Blog Party#32: Pizza Party!
It's time for another Blog Party! I know, it seems as though we just had a party, right? We're just a fount of fun over here. We fried up a storm last month, so I can understand why you might assume I'd swing over to something terribly...
- Blog Party#29: Another Bite Of Dessert
Welcome to December! A new month, a new Blog Party theme. More often than not, sequels are a bad idea. They rarely hold up to the original. But this is one instance where a sequel is a good idea. For our twenty-ninth party, we're going back almost...

I'd write more, but...um; I've misplaced the book?! It was good, and the way the cheese was drizzled was new for me. I'll add more when/if (?!) I find The Great Book, promise. Yikes. This is what happens when you crash-course home improvements....
