Holiday Parties

We are sampling most of our appetizers this week at the shop so make sure and stop by and try them out so you can plan your menu or what you want to take to some of those holiday parties.

Or appetizer menu is listed on line. If there is something you want that you don't see please ask and we will try to accomadate you.

I am back

Finally I am getting back to posting something. We have been so busy at the shop it is hard to find time to write.

We re sampling our garlic cheese ball and slice and bake cheese wafers today. YUM!!!!! That is why I have to work out. So I can practice quality control. Somebody had to do it.

One of our customers are using the garlic cheese balls for christmas gifts this year. Of course I thought it was a great idea. Last year we gave out some appetizer packages. (i.e. bacon tomato dip and boursin cheese with crackers and wine)
They were very well recieved. Of course during the holidays everyone needs appetizers for those unexpected drop ins.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Going to Atlanta today to see my mom. Hoping to squeeze in a game of golf this weekend.

Go Gators!!!!!!!!!! you know how hard that is for me since we are Vols fans.

Monday

Wow, Monday after Thanksgiving, tough to get back into the swing of things.
I have forgotten to mention that a friend of mine has started a new business adventure and owning your own business is an adventure. Amanda who owns and operates Style and Company in the Kroger shopping center on Zebulon Road has taken over what used to be Madwhacker. Best of luck to her and they have some fabulous stylists (Lisa Watson is who I use) so call ahead to make your appointments and as always we want to support small business in the middle Georgia area.

Please keep us in mind during the month of December for your appetizer and dessert needs. Just call ahead and we can have what you need for your next party or event.

Day after Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. Thank you all who supported The Casserole Shop for your holiday needs. We really appreciate it.

Chris and I are visiting some family for the holiday weekend. Looking forward to getting back and doing a ton of baking for December absolutely one of my most favorite things to do.

Dont'f forget if you need a caramel or chocolate (yellow cake w/choc frosting) cake give us a call. The fresh apple cake was a huge hit for thanksgiving gift giving. I think it would make an amazing Christmas gift.

I specify about the chocolate cake becasue the first year we did the layer cakes someone ordered a chocolate cake and I made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and the customer returned very upset. They stated they ordered a "chocolate cake", it was then I learned just what a chocolate cake is.

Saturday before thanksgiving

A little chilly this morning. Might have to be a late golf day. We are golfing with Gwen and Rusty today. Had a slight mishap at the house the other night, some of you will appreciate this more than others because of what I do for a living. I was making Chris a tuna melt for dinner and created just a small amount of smoke. Our smoke detector is connected to our fire alarm which alerts the fire dept. automatically if there is a problem. We canceled the call when the smoke detector went off and thought all was fine. 3 minutes later the fire dept. arrived at our home. Really great to know how prompt the fire department is in case of emergency. Not so great telling people the reason they were there was because I burnt dinner!!!!!! The good news is I will
not be preparing Thanksgiving dinner at home.

Sunday evening

Another weekend zoomed past and Chris and I are mourning Sunday evening. There is just not enough time squeezed into these two days. He had a great day playing with Jimmy today even though Jimmy was not happy with him, he did enjoy the fellowship as always. This will be a fast and furious week we hope for the Casserole Shop and Walsh Honda. Zeus is ready for a fun filled night since we have left him for the whole day by himself. Getting ready to watch Jimmy Johnson clinch the championship for the Nextel Cup.

another fabulous day

A little cool but none the less a fabulous day on the golf course. Happy Birthday to Elaine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aka chesty glitter horn!!!!!!!!!!! Karen, Vicki and I spent a great day together on the golf course. We came in third and fourth, it could not have been any better. This starts a busy couple of weeks for the Casserole Shop. Please don't forget to order your caramel or chocolate cakes for the holiday. You can also pick up your dressing and sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. The Quiches and Hash brown casseroles make a great addition to the holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
