Excellent ideas! (Except the crotch thing - lol)

I can't wait to do this thing! Thanks so much guys!

Patsy: When you were two years old, we tied you to the central reservation of a motorway.

Edina: But you were like a homing pidgeon, sweetie....back within a week!

Most of my food ideas have been covered --
'cause you're all so smart!

But I wouldn't call War Stories a party episode unless you're celebrating October 31 and serving un-set cherry Jell-O, among the other dainties.

Why not (along with the pilot, which is a pure necessity) Our Mrs. Reynolds? It's full of tasty lines, character delineation, and even some of the mentioned food.

I agree with FloralBunny, Our Mrs. Reynolds is always a good party epi.

You could have some mulled wine (a wassail recipe would work nicely). But beware of women bearing hats made from trees.

The bao recipe is a good one. We made it for one shindig and it was a big hit.

I've also made "ice planets" using cream cheese & crushed pineapple mixed up and rolled in coconut.

I once made a very tall cake that resembled Simon's birthday cake from Out of Gas. Even put emergency candles in the top. But I'll warn you that cuttint it is problematic. I would recommend running skewers from top to bottom before you cut into it or it will collapse. ** After the cake collapse, it occurred to me that they never show the cake being cut on the show. Hmmmmm **

Hot cheese dip was suggested. I made beer cheese dip and served it in a little crock to keep it hot.

The men in Shindig were feeding Kaylee chocolates in little gold foil wrappers. Herhsey makes Nuggets in gold wrappers. There may be other gold-wrapped chocolate but those were the ones I found.

The last show-themed food I've made was a basket of fresh baked rolls from my favorite scene where they're all sitting around the table and River steals Jayne's bread.

That's all I got. Good luck on your party!

Okay -- dunno if my post went onto the thread or got "et" by Reavers -- it's gone...

Maybe you could serve some "Ng Ka Py" (medicinal herb wine) which Mal orders in 'The Train Job'.

(In the Firefly Chinese translations I've seen it's "Ng Ka Pei" but I guess that's wrong. So if you want to look for some use the first spelling. Searches confirm this.)

Have a great shindig!!!

Politics is the showbiz of industry.

Sliced tomatoes rolls and and beef tips ( call them protein cubes) thats what they had in the Pilot show. Show the 2 hour Pilot it's been the best way I have found to hook people on the show the movie just leaves out to much for the non-Browncoats. Go to the dollar store and get a few Dinosaurs ( they will get the Dinosaurs after the Pilot) for the table and hang some stars above the table and if you have it a model of Serenity.

I would recommend the Big Damn Chef's cookbook that came out a while back--many Firefly inspired recipes including a few from our Big Damn Heroes.

I always find "Our Mrs Reynolds" is a good way to initiate the unitiated. it's funny it's naughty there's some action some kooky romance...I want the Big Damn Cook book where can I get one?
