With my family, the Thanksgiving feast does not begin until 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon. So beginning around !2:00 as people are arriving, drinks and appetisers ar the normal routine.A full bar is laid out and on the patio the Xlarge cooler is full of beer and ice. Cheese trays and boxes of party crackers are inhaled by all. One special treat sometimes takes place when a few steaks hit the grill. When cooked they are cubed up and served as a special appetiser. The cocktail sticks quickly disappear along with the delicious cubes of steak. I've heard that some do the same with Shrimp or veggies. Crab stuffed mushrooms are my favorite appetizers, as ars bacon wrapped scallops with butter dipping sauce.

Perhaps I've given someone a new holiday idea, I hope so !
