Happy New Year!!
Yesterday morning Emma's friend came over to play while us moms watched Mamma Mia - pretty funny. The kids had fun making a huge mess in Emma's room (isn't this how all kids play?). Then after getting some yummy treats ready we headed over to my parents house where we had fun with my family. We had a potato bar and some delicious soups along with way too may yummy appetizers. It was all so good. Just for fun and to try it, one of the things Eric and I made was an Awesome Blossom (or Bloomin Onion for you Outback fans). It turned out really well. Here's some of the food as it was all being placed out.
For the remainder of the evening, the adults did this...
playing several different games, while the kids (even though only one of the kids is in this picture) did this...
not once, not twice, but 4.2 times! I don't think they need to watch any more movies for quite awhile.We set off a few fireworks at midnight, had a toast, and listened to the kids (who were all complete angels the entire night! - seriously, they were so so good) shout 'happy new year' as many times as they could. It was fun to see family again, and it's always fun to play games (I'm a gamer, what can I say?). There's no better way to ring in the new year.

Do you need a deep fryer to make an Awesome Blossom, or is there a way to bake it?
We used a deep fryer. You could also fry it in oil in a pot if you didn't have a deep fryer. You might be able to bake it, but you'd probably need to make it a little differently and it probably wouldn't be as good. My theory is to fry it and just have less of it.
