Hello and welcome to our Blogwarming Party!
We're having a bloggy open house all week to show off our newly renovated blog.
For more info on everything we're doing this week, check our our party invitation here.
+ + + + +
Today's party food is:Chix Satay
Here are two more recipes from Frank's blog and from this one:
- Lemon Dill Pasta - great with seafood
- Tiramisu - not heavy or gluey at all. (You can tell we've eaten some pretty nasty tiramisu in the past.) Absolutely incredible.
+ + + + +
Today we can't wait to introduce you to Pam:
- Phone Etiquitte
- Pam & Frank's Shenanigans
- Our 15th Anniversary
- Wordle, a short story in two parts
+ + + + +
Today's party game is called "With a Chicken"
Rachel convulsed with hoots of laughter at this one.
You know how after you read a Chinese fortune cookie, you're supposed to add the words "In bed?" We recently decided it's much funnier with the words "With a chicken." Plus, then you can tell your grandmother why you're snickering.
This new game uses the same concept: Take any song title and add the words "With a chicken" I'll start with a few...
- Queen: We Will Rock You With A Chicken
- Brittany Spears: Hit Me Baby One More Time With A Chicken
- David Bowie: Major Tom With A Chicken
- The Beach Boys: Surfin' USA With A Chicken
- John Lennon: Imagine With A Chicken
- Elton John: Tiny Dancer With A Chicken
- Santa Claus is Coming to Town With A Chicken
There is another version of this game that's not great for little little kids but my teenager goes into gigglefits... replace "With A Chicken" with "In My Pants"
The Beatles: Yellow Submarine...
... uh, ok, maybe not.
...Let's just stick with the chicken.
+ + + + +
Today's door prize is a trio of Snack Size Pass It On Plates.
($21 value)
Just like an Original Pass It On Plate, each one of these plates has a tracking number on the back, and we donate money to FeedingAmerica.org every time your plate is passed to another person.
The only difference is that these plates are a more snacky-sized 9" across instead of the larger 11" plates.
These are not available online and are a limited edition, so you can't get these just anywhere.

Hi everyone, I like the chicken game. I'm going to start adding the word when I'm listing my record album jacket coasters.
ReplyDeleteHere's a few that I came up with:
Bon Jovi, "Living in sin... with a chicken"
Quiet Riot, "Love's a Bi---... with a chicken"
The Village People, "Hot Cops ... with a chicken"
Foriegner, "I Need You ... with a chicken"
Okay, I better stop before I get myself into trouble.
Have fun everyone!
