ZIPLOC OMELET- sounds weird, I know

My mom went to a party and this is what they did for food. She said it was actually really fantastic & it is such a fun idea.

(This works great !!! The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!!) Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.

Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you got a nice omlette for a quick breakfast!!! I think my kids are going to like this! I used tomatoes, ham, green onions, cheddar cheese and mushrooms in this one! MMMMMMMM

Tracy's Wassail

Now that it's getting chilly outside, it's time for warm beverages! My friend Tracy gave me this recipe that I made for Lacy's shower, with a few improvisations from me.

Wassail
2 quarts apple cider
1 quart orange juice without pulp
1 quart apple-cranberry juice (if you want a sweeter wassail, omit the apple-cranberry and use 2 quarts OJ)
6-8 whole cloves
6-8 allspice berries
3 sticks of cinnamon
1 Tablespoon crystallized ginger (if you don't have this, don't worry about it)

Mix everything in a large pot. Simmer on the stove a couple hours before serving, and it makes your house smell great! You can fish out the spices before serving, or just serve around them. Garnish with orange slices for extra flair. Makes 10-15ish or more servings. I put the leftovers in the empty apple cider container and have been reheating cupfuls for myself--delish!
