\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood of WI is celebrating its 75th birthday with 75 house parties in Wisconsin – and I decided to host one. (I’m a huge philanthropist – in December, I give $25 here and $50 there to lots of organizations, up to the max I can deduct on my taxes, and Planned Parenthood is always one I give to – so they sent me an email asking if I’d host.) It was fun – about 15 people, coming over after work on a Thursday. We ate & drank, and watched an 18-minute movie that PPWi sent me to play.<\/p>\n

PPWi didn’t ask us hosts to solicit donations at the parties, but I ended up with almost $200 to send back to them, along with the sign up sheets that they seemed to really want, to build their contacts list. Must’ve been because I gave everyone such good stuff to eat they felt generous.<\/p>\n

We had:<\/p>\n

Hummus & muhamarra<\/a> (red pepper dip) and warm pita wedges – grilled in my panini press <\/a>
\nMarieke gouda<\/a> with fenugreek and cheddar cheese with cracker and chutney
\nPizza pockets<\/a> – (in the freezer since the super bowl)
\nBacon dates<\/a> – (in the freezer since the cookie party)
\nTiny World Peace Cookies – so cute compared to the big ones I usually make
\nA big fruit platter with grapes, strawberries & clementines
