This will be the thread for appetizers and snacks.

No recipe here, but we used to have a family tradition of making popcorn for a snack after we came home from Christmas Eve church. Nice memories. ... :)

My best appetizers
Go to Trader Joe's, preferably with no kids in tow.
Cruise the frozen aisle. Walk slowly, stopping frequently. Take time to smile at other browsers. Talk about giving thanks!
Choose two packages each of three kinds of appetizers (the spanakopita, mini-quiches, everything I've tried is good.)
Take them home and now you are set.
While you are there, stock up on their tomatillo salsa, and get your Tom's of Maine deodorant and toothpaste for much less than anywhere else.
Eat some chocolate you just bought there, and wash it down with a Crystal Geyser sparkling juice, driving home in the car.
Count your blessings!
