I made this cheese dip for the party Saturday [with the modifier of leaving out the taco sauce, which possibly made the dip too dry] [oh, and I didn't use any fresh jalapenos, just a couple of chipolte peppers in adobo sauce]. A large success, the crockpot was nearly empty by the end of the evening.
Next time though, I might leave out the mushrooms - they're bland enough that I don't think they added much. The olives were good though.
I also made this cucumber salad. I liked it, although I think people were worried about eating the fresh red onion - at the end of the party, about half of the salad was gone, with a lot of onions left.
It went really well with my mother's peas, though.
