Hi Janis,

 JK> I am sure that is why our holliday dinners were such long dinners
 JK> time-wise (grin)  There certainly was no rush between courses!

I can see why.  My mom would put everything on the table but then, it
was't that much more than a regular dinner.  Usually, celery (left over
from making the stuffing) sticks, pickles and green & black olives in
addition to the meat, potatoes and vegetable we normally had.

 JK> Yep, always for the cook :)

I'd always intend to grab something..........Sometimes I'd put out a
cheese ball and crackers as well; that usually got well decimated.

>> that recipe, it's here somewhere (g)), or I'd make cannoli:

 JK> They are so good :)  Look for the cannoli tubes at maybe a kitchen

I've got the metal tubes for making them, just something I've not tried
yet.

 JK> over there!  My SIL came by yesterday to drop off some stuff for Ron,

Hopefully not. And, I'm glad those kinds of virusis don't travel thru
the computer. (G)
