entertaining parties W W Among a number of other


things to be had on a stick at the party were other assorted veg- etables, shrimp and even fried Snickers candy bars.


And in keeping with the theme,


someone figured out a way to attach a drink to a stick, said John Courtis, who was at the party.


“There were rows and rows and rows of food, all of


it on a stick,” Courtis recalled. “It was just unbeliev- able. The food we had that night was just absolutely amazing.”


A cross between a potluck and a cooking party,

hat is the occasion for serving a beer on the end of a stick?


There is none — unless you and your friends decide


you want get together to try brewed shish kabobs. That beverage evolved from one of the informal


get-togethers of a group of Yumans whose party plan- ning is limited only by their culinary creativity and imagination.


These partiers had decided they would all bring


foods served on a skewer to their party. So someone came with Hotdogs on a Stick, someone else brought Corn on the Cob on a Stick, while another person had speared leafy greens to make Salad on a Stick.


Quality of care matters Our physicians and nurse midwives
