Trailer Trash Bunco Rocks My Socks

Trailer Trash Bunco Night was a smashing success. I've gotten so many compliments on how fun and relaxed it was. How could it not be, with tater tot casserole involved? Sad to say, only two people got into the sartorial spirit of things, one of them being myself. I was in jeans and a trashy tank-top, and my friend Amy wore a short denim skirt, wife-beater tank and cowgirl boots. Awesome. The rest of the women couldn't stand the idea of NOT dressing up for a night away from children who may or may not have been wiping hands and noses on their clothing earlier in the day. Fair enough.

Here's the recipe for Tater Tot Casserole, btw. Eat at your own risk:

Tater Tot Casserole:

1 pkg Tater Tots
8 oz. sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 - 1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can French Fried Onions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine first 4 ingredients in a big bowl. Grease a 9x13 pan and put casserole mix in, pressing down lightly and evenly into the pan. Top with more cheese to taste and the onions. Cover LOOSELY with foil and bake for approx. 45min to an hour. Uncover at the end to let the onions get browned. Enjoy.
(that last step is SOOOOOO obvious)

Here are some pics of the food from the night. Antacids were distributed as party favors.

Yes, those ARE Ho-hos and Twinkies. I know, right? RIGHT???

Of course, it wouldn't be my house if I didn't run out of wine glasses and have to serve it in various tumblers, one of which bore an uncanny resemblance to a votive holder. I also had to ask someone to bring a corkscrew, because wow I'm not a drinker and who doesn't want to come party with me right now?

The evening was such a success that I had to start doing dishes and clattering pans to get people to leave at 10:30pm. This even AFTER I told people I was getting up at 4:30 IN THE MORNING to leave for my flight to California. These women sure like to party.

Next up is Betsy, and I just don't know how she's going to top this Bunco night. The bar is set pretty high. Or low, if you want to look at it that way.
