GTG - Saturday, April 28, 2007 @ Betsy's House (You're all more than welcome to bring your wedding albums/videos/etc to show off and share!)

Original post by ewickens

I'll take initiative here, since well, I would be honored to throw a GTG at our new home to spend an afternoon and evening with my lovely ladies.

So, I was thinking a weekend b/c we'd have more time to sit around and talk without having to worry about costs (for those of us who are new homeowner's or in the process of buying) or being kicked out of a restaurant for staying late.

So, what works for all of you?

Oh, I guess I should add that I live in Port Jefferson Station close to Rte 347.

Okay, so based on people's responses, let's make it Saturday, April 28, 2007. Let's make the party start around 4pm and if people want to come later, they can, since I'm sure we'll be around ALL night!

So, who's definitely coming and what are you bringing to share?

PS 1: It's okay to bring wedding albums, videos, etc, since I know more of us may have that stuff come the end of April.

PS 2: Send me an FM if you're coming, so I can send you directions.

WOW! I love the sound of 'chocolates, nuts, jelly beans, gummy everything, lots of the stuff from childhood and all kinds of chocolate covered things' I'm game for any or ALL of that!



Their inventory is subject to change and there is always a new idea when I go there, but please tell me if there are special requests. Right now I am thinking:

jelly beans (I love banana ones)

sour gummy bears (it's been ages since i had them)

Choc. covered pretzels (white or milk chocolate or both???)

Other chocolate (I love non-pareils and maybe raisinets will be fun)

Cashews ????

They also have a few kinds of licorice and I think there are some dried fruits

BTW--when I bring one of these baskets into my house I have to put it in the office and LOCK the door so Oscar won't grab it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At holiday time I had like 5-6 of them for various businesses that I give baskets to. I delivered 1-2 each day, and the personal delivery was a nice touch. In the meantime, my house smelled like Melties, which are a kind of chocolate I had them put in. The O-man was crazy!!!!!!

I usually go for a lot of chocolate in the mix. Other things look prettier in the basket but who cares, right?

I LOVE white chocolate - so anything covered with white - esp pretzels.

I love red licorice

What about non sour gummy bears/worms?

If you want, Kerie - do you want to bring the basket here to avoid Oscar gettng into it?

We can do non-sour gummies. I may want some sour myself, too! I will be getitng the basket that day, or the night before, so I think I am fine to keep it here. I am just paranoid about the chocolate melting in my car, so I always bring the baskets inside until I am ready to take them. Even if it is cool outside, the sun can melt it.

Oh, I like sour gummies too, but only a few cause my mouth gets all soury and I have that kiss look all over me

Ok, sounds good to me - I just wanted to offer!

I know there are going to be preggo ladies, but would the non-pregnant attendees like wine? I could bring that?

If you get two matching bottles of red - we could make the sangria mix!!

Don't worry about us. We normally come equipped with our own drinks.

Move me over to the YES side!

Do you need appetizers? I can bring dips in bread bowls.
