It was one of those "Senior Moments". A local store had a 10 for $10 sale. I thought you had to buy ten to get the price. Actually ten was the limit. DOH! I also got ten cans of white tuna and ten frozen dinners and...you get the idea.

Cream cheese to take home for all who are interested. Toast, coffee, tea, bacon and sausage plus leftovers.

Baked beans sounds really good Charmion.We cn throw the fruit cake at the neighbor's dog. Pickled herring was a tradition from my childhood which I prefer to forget but bring it anyway. Pickled ice cream? Your guess is as good as mine. Mead is always welcome. So is Jeri - hope you feel up to it.

I will have the usual nibblies and a huge pot of curried chicken to serve over rice, salad, wine, beer, Pepsi, water, and champagne at midnight. Some pastries too.

I have a guitar. Pauline has a fiddle. I know we have a squeeze box and a banjo and a piano leg coming. Anything else? Bagpipes, maybe?
