One important lesson: people WANT to bring stuff, so let them!!! Instead of saying, "bring whatever", I've given out assignments, in sort of a divide and conquer type of approach. Since I made assignments, I know that only the A-game goodness will be showing up for the celebration. A few highlights...Sheila's veggie pizza, Brian's buffalo chicken dip and of course the New Year's Pretzel (custom ordered without the maraschino cherries, which make the whole thing a sloppy mess).
Cheers to 2009!

I'm sure the kitchen chairs appreciate the Morsch's not being there after last year's required surgery! ;)
To future attendees of Lollo hosted parties....EAT MORE FOOD!! I do my part, please do yours. Sincerely, Nick
I am a big fan of having people bring assigned food.
A) They always know they will like a least one thing
B)If you assign them their specialty they get to show off.
I didn't understand this years ago during my own "bring whatever" phase and for some reason everyone brought diet soda...that was about the same time I discovered no one drinks diet soda at a party. (Nor did we when it would get left behind.)
Ah well, live and learn. Hope you had a Great New Year's Party.
