So I'll be posting those up. I won't be using them all for my party, but it just brought to mind that I haven't shared any of these. Most come from Bell South Cookbook and Philidelphia cream cheese cookbook.

jencathen 1 year, 5 months ago said: RE: Planning a party Hey Diva! I'm planning it for when I'm going back to MS the first week in August. My Mom and my Grandma just aren't great at planning. The list looks like this:
Me, Hubby and 2 boys age 7 and 9. Mother and Daddy Maw Maw (My Mother's Mom) Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Bonnie (My Mother's Brother) Cousin Tammy, Boyfriend, girls ages 7 and 9, son age 15 (Uncle Jimmy's daughter) Cousin Bo and wife Tracey and daughter age 9 (Uncle Jimmy's son) Aunt Carol and Uncle Russ, their grandson age 6 (My Mother's Sister) So looks like 20.
I'm going to hit my Mom up to make the Seafood Gumbo. Tracey is making shrimp etoufee. We are also grilling chicken, hot dogs and hamburgers. I'm making Deviled Eggs and some dips along with making veggie trays. I haven't decided anything else at this time. Any ideas. We are a very laid back southern family. We'll be eating at my Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Bonnie's as they have plenty of property and swing set and horse shoe pit.

sounds like you got everything under control....I would love to see the seafood gumbo recipe - I bet it is fantastic
I was born in MS, Biloxi in fact... :-)

Growing up I lived on Seaman road which is in Jackson county right near I-10. What a small world this is.
Here in TX I do not have any family. My BF and her fiancee live nearby and than we have my husbands work partner and his wife which we have become close too and some neighbors. So my parties here are small. But I'll make more friends now that I'm getting out a bit more. hehe
