Sounds good too Weltsch, it's probably rather similar. My salmon didn't fall apart though, even though I marinated it for longer.

I just made my test batch of chicken. It will be cheddar, prosciutto and granny smith. It was good - still chicken breasts which are generally tasteless. I made a maple cream syrup that was so good, I could probably serve a cow patty with the sauce and still get compliments. Very sweet, but overall - yummy!
Thanks for all your help!

If you are doing this backwards, I would not serve something very heavy.

I'm trying to make the portions small - but because our country has made chicken breasts super-sized, even when I did a half of a half of a breast it still seemed large. I'm hoping to find smaller breasts when I go to the store this weekend.
People will eat what they eat, and they will have to meter themselves.

Pounding them doesn't make them smaller - only thinner, but wider.

It's your responsibility to make sure they don't eat too much.

Pounding them doesn't make them smaller - only thinner, but wider. And awfully sore.

Are progressive parties common? I'd never heard of them before and a friend just mentioned one her sister was planning. In AZ.

cktc What part did your sister get? Maybe Thyme can confirm or deny that it's part of her group for those of us who are nosy (and a tad paranoid?)

She has a few sisters, and I haven't met them yet. One throws an annual holiday party that I missed where friends Jamie and Amanda were bar-tending if that connects any dots for Thyme.

They are common here in Massachusetts -- been around for a while -- 10? 15? years to my knowledge. In fact, the senior class at the local high school just did one. Regional thing?

I had never heard of them before in CT. We are more of a "drink by the firepit" crowd, though.

We do that too, here. Although, truth be told, we don't need an occasion, or a crowd, to drink.

We used to do one (sometimes two) every year in the 80's. I've only done one as an adult (this will be my second.) However...I get invited to pub crawls on a pretty regular basis. Kind of a similar thing, except private, and with food.

I've never heard of a progressive party either. But I have done pub crawls, poker runs, and drank around the fire.

I bought the $8 bottle. You could try it with maple flavored corn syrup AKA Mrs Butterworth. It won't be poison or anything.
I am putting this on chicken that is stuffed with apples and cheese.

Do NOT make the maple-baked salmon with Mrs. Butterworth.

Our dinner was last night and it was amazingly fun. The chicken turned out better last night than on Tuesday, so I'm glad I had the practice run. I made the mustard gravy using my gravy recipe, and then adding in mustard, instead of the recipe that I found on the internet, which was okay - but not great. I also added a little cornstarch as a thickener to the maple-cream. Next time I might add a tiny bit more. It was still a runny sauce, but less liquid than Tuesday when it was going all over the plate.
Going to all the different houses actually did add. It broke things up and brought a new energy to the group. In one house we sat on the porch, here we sat at the table, in another house we gathered around the kitchen island and the last one we hung out on the couch. We had different food and different drinks at each place, and we started a new conversation at each house too. It was like 4 different parties. It worked out great.
I am, however, sticking with my opinions of what makes a great party. #1, hands down, by far, is the people that come and how cohesive they are. You have a fun group - you don't need much else to make a great night. You have a disjointed group - it is a crap shoot.
