And you get an invitation to dinner at the Sprat's.


I put in a trio of kittens with very cold paws.

(Short night for me tonight. I'm co-hosting a traditional Italian New Year's Eve
seafood dinner for 25 at noon tomorrow so I'll need to get to bed soon.)

Thanks, and you, too, TE999.

Just to whet your appetite: antipasto platter; Portuguese Fish Soup; Fettucine Alfredo with shrimp and crab; homemade bread; salad; Lobster and Crab; Salmon smoked on the grill; butterscotch cheesecake; chocolate pecan pie; Italian cookies from the hill and, of course, champagne. (I must confess, I'm not cooking, but I'll be setting up the tables and acting as scullery throughout the festivities.)

That's the menu for New Year's Day: Black eyed peas for luck; and greens for money. (and ham to make the black-eyed peas and greens palatable.)

No, I just married into it. My husband was an Army brat who grew up in Italy (hence the Italian part), but his father was from Kentucky (hence the rest).

Good night and lights out. Glynndah
