Franks red hot wings, teriyaki/soy/ginger wings.
Crudite with dill dip.
Beer, bubbles, cured meat and gourmet cheese plates.
Venison jerky, smoked salmon.
Me and the wifes favorite tradition (when we lived in Sonoma county) is to press pause and go to COSTCO, only day of the year we could handle that place. Then join our other working friends and start the party at 6pm.
Buffalo wings. Will make em at home, including make the sauce. I like both blue cheese and ranch for dipping. I’ll make the ranch from scratch, and also buy a decent blue cheese to make into a dipping sauce.
