Holiday Cheer, Anna!! View from my Coors Light Bottle (we're having company party today-3 grills/smokers with baby back ribs filling the air!) NO SNOW in Florida..........yet!!

Thank you, Will! Always enjoy seeing your incredibly beautiful garden. I wish you in the New year many new benefits.... And continue to delight us all with lovely pictures!!!! With all respect, Ireena Happy New Year!!!

It's nice to talk to some old friends. :-) Some I keep up with on FB (thus Pam's "awkward photo" comment - LOL...there was one that WAS) Swaps were fun and such a great connecting point for so many of us. :-) Jessy's boys, Annie's girls (and g-kids - still just 2?) have to be grown too. Will is a freshman now - he doesn't find much time to cook with me anymore but his interest in food is pretty high - LOL! I promise when things slow down after the holiday, I will be back a little more and catch up. Hugs to everybody

Thanks, Jim, and merry Xmas to you and everyone. Jim, I hope your wife is feeling better. bethnorcal, being a bit ahead of you in the U.S., we've just had lunch, and dessert was very like your roses - strawberry sorbet on meringue nests with coconut ice-cream. Trish
