Well, you could make your own flour/water dough, roll it out nice and thin and even, and cut it into shape -- or you could buy a package of pre-formed wonton wrappers. The choice is yours.

By the way -- they also make a good substitute for homemade raviolis and other filled pasta. They're made from basically the same ingredients as any other pasta dough. Fill with your desired filling, seal, boil briefly, and presto! Homemade filled pasta. Impress your dinner guests and retain your sanity!

YUM!
I wonder if I have time to bake this weekend?
I didn't have that source in my collection. Fortunately, some good soul has transcribed it to the web. Now I have more things to play with!

Cool thread.

NA's list is so complete because she and € throw nothing but the swankiest parties. They were swank before any of the rest of us caught on.

I'm still not too suave on the party front. I do have a fondue pot though. That must count for something, even if I haven't used it in over a year.

Are cocktail weiners in sauce swank?

Here's something to do with it..... I know it's a bit "Halloweeny" but a rich Caramel fondue with chunks of Apple to swirl in the caramel is just heaven-on-a-stick.
