[speaker001:] okay Cindy you there
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] okay what kind of dinner parties have you had
[speaker002:] yeah well I've had them uh where I've served up to twelve to sixteen people um and I had help with them um and
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] part of them I did were like a buffet and uh it I had uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] just different uh side dishes and appetizers and one of them that that I'd remembered was uh some uh sausage hors d'oeuvres and uh anyhow uh you take uh a couple of uh cups of Bisquick and uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] sausage oh like a a Owens mild you can I guess you could use the hot if you wanted to yeah and uh you
[speaker001:] whatever you like huh yeah
[speaker002:] put that in and then you get some real sharp cheddar cheese and put that in and a little bit of milk and
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] make make it all doughy and then like I just put them in little balls and bake them for about fifteen minutes and they are so good
[speaker001:] hm oh that sounds delicious yeah
[speaker002:] yeah it's making me hungry for them right now
[speaker001:] yeah you know I've made like little Swedish meatballs but they're just made out of the beef you know
[speaker002:] have you yeah
[speaker001:] and uh with spices and things in them but never anything mixed with Bisquick
[speaker002:] uh-huh I I've used that quite a bit and it and it seems to work real well um and uh um
[speaker001:] um-hum hm
[speaker002:] when I've had so many people uh to to feed like I'd try to do a ham an a turkey and and
[speaker001:] yeah that's my that's my parties mostly is at Christmas time and Thanksgiving time
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know I've uh I had an open house party here once when after we moved in here uh which I had uh things like that but I always cooked them ahead of time and then I just sliced them
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know and had macaroni salad with uh shrimp in it have you ever had that
[speaker002:] no what
[speaker001:] get some fresh little fresh shrimp and it's in your macaroni salad that you make
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] the shrimp just gives it a really good flavor
[speaker002:] oh I'll bet
[speaker001:] yeah I don't like the can but the fresh you know
[speaker002:] yeah I'll have to try that
[speaker001:] yeah that was really good
[speaker002:] I like things that are easy and and uh nutritious
[speaker001:] yeah right right but uh at uh Christmas time we just have a regular sit down dinner you know
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] which is kind of hard because you got so many people and then by time you pass everything around it seems like everything on your plate's cold
[speaker002:] I know I know well thank God for microwaves you know
[speaker001:] so but anyhow I yeah you can always take your plate and just heat it up you know
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but uh other than that I I don't have too too many parties uh you know I have like maybe just a couple another couple over for dinner
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] but uh other than than than that I don't have you know a whole bunch of people like except except at Christmas and I have my family
[speaker002:] yeah right well I don't anymore yeah it's been a few years and and uh I don't have you know over a couple either and and uh I try to
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh have everything all ready and and it it just makes it a lot nicer where I don't spend spend all my time in the kitchen
[speaker001:] yeah right right
[speaker002:] and uh spaghetti and
[speaker001:] yeah that's easy I always like to have that too you know everybody seems to like that too
[speaker002:] yeah I know I don't think I've ever met anyone that didn't
[speaker001:] no everybody likes that
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and then uh if you have a nice big roast that you can throw in the oven then you can put your potatoes and carrots or whatever else all in there you know especially if a pork roast that's what I love
[speaker002:] oh yeah I like it too
[speaker001:] with my and um other than that in fact I'm just thinking of what goes next weekend when the Super Bowl's on
[speaker002:] I do too um-hum
[speaker001:] I've asked a couple people to come over and I just uh had been thinking what to have for that
[speaker002:] yeah well have you had any good ideas yet oh okay
[speaker001:] no not yet no and I you know I don't want to have to come away from the TV I want something that I can just take them and serve them while they're sitting in front of the TV
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know so I'll think of something just that that we can munch on over there you know
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and they can just fill fill their plate up at intermission and then go back over there and sit down
[speaker002:] and that's the way to do it too
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] I think it's you know what's I think is so nice is that in this day and time that we can have good food that's good for you and you don't have to spend hours and hours and hours in the kitchen and and it makes an awful lot of difference doesn't it
[speaker001:] yeah preparing it right oh it sure does
[speaker002:] well
[speaker001:] well when I was brought up you know we didn't
