Brief hijack:ChefBeckyD said:His birthday is in June, and he has been to a couple b-day parties, so now all he can talk about is his own party...I guess we're having one! He is totally into John Deere tractors right now, and we have discovered we can get invites, streamers, tableware, etc...for a JD party...so I think we are going to do a "Country Fair" theme in the backyard and do hamburgers and hotdogs, with cotton candy and popcorn...nothing too healthy!

Becky, have you seen the John Deere basket Longaberger currently has?
End hijack.
Appetizers for kids...
How about Corn Dog Bites. Mix up a corn muffin mix and put a small scoop of the batter into each cup of the mini muffin pan. Then push a small piece of hot dog into each cup. Bake as usual.
They're nice because they're small so you don't have wasted food and you don't have to worry about kids choking on sticks.ChefBeckyD said:I LOVE the idea of the corn dog bites! my DS would go nuts for those!

I counted once. I have about 25 (probably a couple more) in my house, all purchased within a 2 year period. I've been good and haven't bought any in 2 years - I've been saving my money for my kitchen redo. DH hates them. And if he knew how much I've spent, he'd blow a gasket.Teresa Lynn said:Becky, Consider yourself very very lucky
Once you get bitten by the bug there is no cure!!
in April buy the basket and get a liner for a penny Great deal!!
It's my bad, not yours.luvs2sellit said:Whoops! Sorry for yet another hijack.

Thanks!!
Teresa Lynn said:yes mine have all been purchased within the last 3 years and I have joined the collectors club as well my husband kept insisting. it would cost him more $$$)
I have the huge trash can with lid (I think its discontinued now) and whenever this one friend comes over she takes it to my laundry room during a party so it doesn't get dirty!! My DS counted the other day when he was eating breakfast 48 baskets in the kitchen , they forbid them in our camper or in the boys room.
Fortunately this last catalog only had 2 baskets I really liked so I will probably not order until the next launch.
Teresa Lynn said:When I started collecting it was the smaller ones. My middle son was about 13 and he made me a hanging rack (like an old fashioned herb drying rack) with french rolling pins on the end and oak spindles. It hangs above my microwave with fake berry vines on it and I tie the smaller ones with twine and hang a few of my grandma's handmade doilies over the edge.
Others hold veggies, paper plates, trash bags, popcorn, snacks, napkins, sugar packets, dry mix packets, the beverage tote holds solo cups, and we have the cookie jar for little Debbie's I never make homemmade cookies
I had to buy a hutch last summer to showcase them and they have family antiques scattered around them and old utensils in them.
Some are empty but most I try to use. It really is a bad habit. Luckily, it seems they are getting more into their pottery & jewelry line and fewer baskets!!
Teresa Lynn said:did you look? HUH didjya??
did you request a catalog??? Tee hee
