Home is where the heart is…
If home truly where the heart is, then the food blogging community is definitely part of my home. I give thanks to many of you who have emailed me or left me new home well wishes here on my blog. They are very much appreciated. Above there is my new home(with no window treatments 
).
If I could of course, I would have you over for a housewarming party, pot luck style. Since that can’t be happening, I’d like to have a virtual one. So if you would like to come you simply need to bring a dish.
*make a dish and post the recipe on your blog(appetizers, main dishes, sides, desserts, even drinks!…your choice). If you don’t have a blog and would still like to participate you can email me a recipe and a picture(if you have one)
*tell in the write up why you are “bringing” that dish
*give your name, name of your blog(and your URL) and the name of the dish(and a link to the dish)
I will host my Housewarming Party on Saturday, December 8th. The deadline to “bring” your dish is Thursday, December 6th, midnight Pacific Standard Time. If you would like to “come” to the party please email your dish to luvbriere at gmail dot com. Hope to “see” you there!

Oh hoho a housewarming party, I’m thinking things will be warm for a Peabody party!!
November 12th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
And window treatments aren’t needed for a housewarming!!
November 12th, 2007 at 4:25 pm
What a wonderful idea! Oh and we were in our house for 10 months before we put up window treatments - those suckers are expensive!!
November 12th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
What a fun idea! It WOULD be better if we could all really come, but alas we must do this in the blog world. Beautiful home…I love the fence!
November 12th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
oooh, a virtual housewarming party!! how fun!! since I’d like to “come” to the party (haha, I love it), I can just email you my dish? can it be the dish that I had given you the recipe for, a while back (remember that one)? or should it be a different dish?
November 12th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
What an exciting new adventure for you. Congrats on your new home and happy baking in your lovely new kitchen!
November 12th, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Your new home is beautiful!! Congratulations!! I’ll work on thinking of something fabulous to “bring” :O)
November 12th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Your home is so beautiful! I’ll think of something to bring to the party!
November 12th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
What a darling house and what a delightful idea! I’ll definitely come to your virtual potluck - just wish we could all be there for real.
November 12th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Your house looks great, even without window treatments. What a fun idea, and the party is on my birthday so I’ll definitely try to come!
November 13th, 2007 at 12:04 am
Pea, you are the wildest chick I know LOL! I love the new house and thanks for the invitation. I look forward to the party. Hugs!
November 13th, 2007 at 2:43 am
I love your house. There’s nothing like a brand new one, too. It’s so pretty! And what a cool idea to have a pot luck. I’m in!
November 13th, 2007 at 5:40 am
Congrats on the new digs!
November 13th, 2007 at 6:14 am
Hi There Peabody-
as a loyal reader of your blog, I wish you a hearty congratulations on your new house. Its beautiful…you must be so proud and excited!
I just might “come” to your dinner party, even though I’ve never posted on a food blog before…you’re inspiring!!
P.S. I made your cider donuts on a weekend trip to Massachusetts this weekend with my family…it made the trip!!
November 13th, 2007 at 6:37 am
Your house is precious!! Contratulations!!
November 13th, 2007 at 6:45 am
Lovely home!! The landscaping looks really nice too! I’m definitley going to have to whip something up for this event!
November 13th, 2007 at 6:54 am
You house is stunning. You have great taste. I love the idea of this event and will definitely participate.
November 13th, 2007 at 7:23 am
Cute, cute, cute! Congrats again on your new — lovely! — home.
November 13th, 2007 at 7:53 am
Alright! I’ll bring a virtual dish for the virtual housewarming. Your real house is lovely.
November 13th, 2007 at 10:21 am
Congrats again! You have a beautiful new home, and the yard looks lovely. I can’t wait to come to your house warming.
November 13th, 2007 at 10:36 am
Cute house! I can’t wait for the housewarming!!
November 13th, 2007 at 11:55 am
What a beautiful house, dear Pea!
And this party idea is fabulous! I want to be a part of it!
November 13th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
WOW! A cyberparty!!! Thank you for the invite! I would love to attend. Will have to email you a recipe as I don’t have a blog. What a gorgeous home Peabody. I can just see it now all dressed up for the party……warm and cozy with the fuzzy outlines of hundreds of virtual folk talking and laughing inside, a big welcoming wreath on the door, twinkling fairy lights in the windows, across the roof, in the bare branches of the trees in the garden, snow brushed from the stairs and banked up against the walls of the house, many virtual footprints in the snow on the pathway as people arrive for the housewarming party……oh dear! Please tell me it does snow where you live!! Bet you can tell I live in Africa and am longing for a white Christmas
November 13th, 2007 at 1:10 pm
Gorgeous house! How exciting.
November 13th, 2007 at 1:19 pm
I’m coming! Lovely house =)
November 13th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
You house is so awesome! And the size of the yard is impressive. Have a happy housewarming!
November 13th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Sounds great!
November 13th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
your house is beautiful!
a housewarming party, how fun! 
i’ll have to think about what i want to bring…
November 13th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
What a beautiful home and a perfect idea to have a virtual housewarming party.
As far as window treatments, “Sally Homemaker” says: on windows that probably need to be covered (like bathrooms) a tension rod, curtain rings that clip on, and pretty table napkins or dishcloths can make instant cafe’ curtains. Taget usually has what is needed. For the rest, take your time to purchase what you really like…they often are still in use a decade later.
November 13th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Oooooooooooh! I love housewarming parties … and is that the cutest house ever?! Yes … I think it is!
November 13th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
Congratulations on your new home.
I love the yard in front.
I had a question for you about your baking. When you half or quarter recipes, do you exactly half/quarter them or do you have to adjust things a bit? I don’t have a lot of experience with halving/quartering baking recipes and I’m scared that things might mess up. Thanks.
November 13th, 2007 at 11:10 pm
Your house is so pretty! I’ll “see” you at the party for sure.
November 14th, 2007 at 6:52 am
I absolutely love the house! Congrats
Hope to participate in the virtual pot luck 
November 14th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Fun idea! And you’ve already hung a wreath on the door (of your SUPER adorable house) to welcome us! Can’t wait!
November 14th, 2007 at 11:08 am
I love your new house and your house warming idea. Count me in. I know just what I’m going to bring.
November 14th, 2007 at 11:15 am
Congratulations on the house, and what a nice idea for a blog event. I notice you didn’t warn us not to spill the red wine all over your new rug…
November 14th, 2007 at 11:30 am
What a lovely house! As far as the window treatments are concerned, I got really beautiful one from Martha Stewart..I figured if somebody can help, that’s got the be her!!!
I hope you don’t mind but I told the folks of the DB blog about the party…I am sure it will be smashing success!
November 14th, 2007 at 11:31 am
Great! I am planning a small dinner party on Dec. 1, so I can probably “bring” something from that!
Pretty house!
November 14th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
What a beautiful home! May joy reign there!God bless.
November 14th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Congrats on the beautiful home!
November 14th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
Congratulations on your new digs Peabody!
May comfort, love and great food always be found, and love abound, securely within the walls of your cozy surround!
November 14th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
Congratulations to you! I can imagine how excited you must be!
November 14th, 2007 at 9:46 pm
What a cute house! And window treatments are overrated. I prefer not to have them, except we live in town and the neighbors are too close not to.
Congrats!
November 15th, 2007 at 1:11 am
It is a lovely house! I just want to snuggle down into your lawn! Congratulations!

[…] I was just sooo not in the mood to take pictures the other day. The lighting was horrible no matter where I was, as the sky was super Seattle gray. I wasn’t actually even going to put these up, but the truth of the matter is that they are far to tasty for me not to share the recipe with you. As many of you know, I often bake for referees on nights that I score keep on. Makes them happy to work with and IF they happened to end up refereeing my game, then perhaps they will look the other way when I elbow some guy. I kid…sort of. So my poor refs have pretty much been neglected lately. What I have been making in the kitchen were not all that portable friendly and they had been missing out. One of my “regulars” let me know it too and let me know that he would enjoy something with gingerbread the next time he saw me….then he told me when the next time he would see me would be. So off I went find something with gingerbread. I wanted something simple for as much as I would like to be done getting the house together, there always seems to be something. Tomorrow I am off for a rake and a recycling trash can for our pop cans. These bars I found on the McCormick spices website. Their recipe called for using their spices, but I was a rebel and did not. A couple things about the bars: 1. I will add a little more ginger next time for a tad more kick, though the ref thought they had enough kick. 2. When I made the cream cheese mixture I did it in the bowl with the gingerbread batter, without cleaning it, so that the gingerbread flavor would come through a little in the frosting…I’m glad I did. These are quick and easy and most definitely keeps. P.S. Don’t forget I am hosting a virtual Housewarming Party on Saturday, December 8th. For more information about it go here. […]
November 15th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
What an adorable house!
November 15th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
I know just the thing to bring! Happy housewarming. I love your new home.
November 16th, 2007 at 7:19 am
Beautiful house Peabody. Will think of something to bring to your housewarming. Love the whole potluck concept which we don’t really go in for in England. Hope you have many happy years in your new home!
November 16th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
What a beautiful Home. I’ve always loved those pastel coloured slats on the front of American houses, they’re so rare in the UK.
Best wishes to you, Peabody.
November 16th, 2007 at 5:17 pm
What an awesome looking new home! Can’t wait to see what everyone brings to the housewarming.
November 16th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Your house is adorable and you’re going to have a great life there. I’d love to come to the housewarming! This should be some party.
November 18th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
[…] And since I think no one in their right mind would resist to a slice of this pizza (even though the night pictures don´t show it in all its glory), I´m gonna be taking this dish to Peabody´s housewarming party, since I´m sure it´s going to be full of sugar-ladden treats, and there needs to be something savory to start with. If this doesn´t make a good house-warming gift, Peabody, I don´t know what will! (Recipe after the jump) […]
November 18th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
You’re home looks perfect! I can’t wait for the party.
November 18th, 2007 at 7:20 pm
What a beautiful home-what good smells with come from the kitchen of this house! Congrats to you!
November 18th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Your house is so beautiful! I’ll have to come up with something wonderful for the “housewarming party”.
I’m looking forward to it! It looks like you’ll have quite a crowd:)
November 18th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
The house looks great and I love what you’ve done with the place. I’m bringing Baked Potato bites… hope you enjoy. Take a look at the pics on my site.
November 23rd, 2007 at 11:14 am
I just did my post! I will be bringing Banana Cream Pudding with Pie Crust Cookie garnish.

[…] 10. She and her husband recently moved into their first home and so she decided to host a Blog Housewarming Party. I think Bakedy Beans are perfect for housewarming parties. […]
