Is that Ogden Nash, perchance?

Thanks y'all, lots of ideas. As Mister and I have lived together 13 years thru bad and good, fish-egg breath is really not an issue. ;-)

I do like onions, so I will probably have some out. Mister has decided on champagne for the beverage. (Neither of us is a large consumer of spirits, except for good rum or Irish whiskey).

For supper we are having chicken paprikash, potato-mushroom croquettes, and a nice green salad. Any ideas for dessert?

And I will freely confess, I like anchovies too. I only discovered this last Thanksgiving, when Mister's uncle convinced me to try some on pizza. By themselves they are a little startling - but with pizza, or finely chopped in a salad, they're not too bad.
