Then again, we don't/can't eat the same things. Now, if I *could* have what I want?: (Not that I could eat it all, anyway, but hey, wishing is fun!) Appetizers: Swiss cheese fondue with an excellent sourdough bread Baked clams Stuffed mushrooms Main meal: Lobster, par boiled first and then finished broiled in butter Broccoli with a cheddar cheese sauce Shrimp fried rice Dessert: A 20 year old tawny port wine Chocolate covered strawberries Post Dessert: Heart attack Tummy tuck :~) kili -- http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kilikini |

Now me, I would be having champagne to go with at least part of my meal, maybe the appetizers... I won't be having a Valentine's day dinner, cause I don't have a valentine..... Christine |

Sky got me interested in making cheesecake...she talked about it in chat. I have never, ever made one.... The new baking book I have (Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home To Yours) has some interesting ones. One is a Brown Sugar-Apple cheesecake. That one has been calling out to me.... Christine |

Put sour cream, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper in a bowl and stir to combine. Slice your rolls part way thru. Spread sour cream mix inside, top with the prawns and watercress. OR...... Wasabi and coriander mayonnaise 3/4 cup whole egg mayo 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves 1 tablespoon wasabi 1 table spoon lime juice Mix all together in a small bowl, and set aside.

I try not to be a stickler for correct Yiddish/English translations, but do you think you could change that to "futz" around your own house? I've been sick lately and the images of disengaged putzes is too much for me. --Lia |

Of course one could be a putz and stiff the putzfrau.... |
