If you are like me, you love spreading the word about Firefly and Serenity by hosting Shindigs ( parties where you have friends over to watch Firefly).
When I do a shindig I like to have themed snacks. Perhaps some strawberries, asisan noodles, fresh bao, and don't even ask about my attempt to make mudder's milk;-)
Let's share some shindig recipes!Here's a a recipe for "Fruity Oaty Bars" from Serenity:Fruity Oaty Bars
¼ cup honey
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) margarine or butter
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
One
6-ounce package diced dried mixed fruit (about 1-1/3 cups)
1-1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1. In medium saucepan, heat honey, margarine, sugar and cinnamon over
medium-low heat until margarine is melted, stirring frequently. Bring to a
boil; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in dried
fruit, rice cereal and oats until evenly coated.
2. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of ungreased 8-inch square baking
pan. Cool completely. Cut into bars. Store tightly covered in
refrigerator.

Shindigs are super fun, I highly reccomend them. Nothing like a good "Hero of Canton" sing-a-long after a few glasses of mudder's milk!

I don't have a specific recipe to add, but when my friends and I had a shindig, we did make bao. I must admit that we cheated because we bought the pre-made frozen kind and just steamed them on the stove.
Oh, how about making Shepard's Pie? Something that has a lot of fresh rosemary? Or even something that uses a lot of apples?

Oh yeah! I forgot about apples! I usually get them without grenades....cause grenades cost extra :-)

Shindigs are a perfect way to GET your friends into firefly ;-) I'm happy to say that every friend I have showed it too has gotten hooked. It's so great, how could you not! :-)

Ice planets are a great idea for summer shidigs! I think I would be like River though...and not be able to figure out how to eat them.

Those sound really good. I don't have any recipes, because I've never been to a Shingdig, but strawberries are definitely a must. lol. They were the first thing that popped into my head when I read the topic.
