During the cold, wet, Eugene winter nights, it’s sometimes tough to make yourself go out and leave your warm house. You still want to hangout with your friends, but you just don’t want to venture out in the cold Eugene streets. There are many different things that you and your friends can do. It is just hard to decide and agree on one thing.
One thing you can do is invite your friends over and host a baking party. Obviously baking isn’t the only option here. Everyone can have a cocktail or two, or four, while baking or even while waiting for everything to bake.
Every person who attends the baking party can bring a recipe and you can go through them all and select a few. There are numerous pastries and desserts you and your friends could make on a night where you would rather stay inside.
You can choose anything from classic chocolate chip cookies, pies, brownies, lemon bars or even macaroons. Maybe someone will bring over a family recipe that they know is fantastic to share with everyone.
Each person at your get together could have a specific job for one of the baked items in order to bake them around the same time. Your kitchen might get a little tight, but everyone will have a fun time together. This will also allow you and your friends to eat and try everything faster than waiting for one thing at a time.
Waiting for everything to bake could be fun. Turn the baking party into a drinking party and play some of your favorite drinking games. There are many drinking games that could be played, some old and some new. Just make sure you don’t forget about what is baking in the oven.
What better thing to munch on after drinking with your friends than the desserts that were baking? Maybe everyone drank a little too much, but that’s okay because the best drunchies are some warm and delicious baked goods.
Winter is a great time to stay in on a random night with all of your friends and do something fun. Eating and drinking is the perfect combination for these type of nights. Whether the baked goods turned out successful or not, baking with friends can lead to a memorable extravaganza.
