As discussed earlier - it is likely there will be a New Year's Open House at the Launchpad soon. An invitation is being drafted and should be circulated soon. If you're in the DMV, consider yourself invited!
Now I just need to decide what to serve and where we will put everyone! I do own two crockpots . . . (recipes from a BuzzFeed post)
Mulled Ginger-Apple Cider
Serves 12
Slice 1 apple thinly crosswise (like, across the equator) so that the center forms a star pattern. Remove the seeds. In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the apple slices with with 1 gallon fresh apple cider (preferably unpasteurized), ½ cup roughly chopped fresh ginger, 3 cinnamon sticks, 10 whole cloves, 5 whole allspice, and 1 thinly sliced orange. Cook on high heat for 3-4 hours, or on low heat for 6-8 hours. Spike each serving with 1½ oz. dark rum.
Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip
Serves 12
Put 3 cups chopped artichoke hearts, 1 lb. cream cheese, one 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, 8 oz. shredded part-skim mozzarella, 1 cup each grated parmesan and mayonnaise, and 2 chopped garlic cloves in a slow cooker. Season with a teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or high for 2 hours, stirring at the end. Serve from the slow cooker (set to “warm”) with crackers.
