Sure. I was merely pointing out we had different snacky foods on New
Years (Day or Eve). Definitely not frozen pizza rolls.

This year I plan to make fondue on New Years eve. With a nice swiss
cheese, some kirsch or white wine and crusty bread to dip. I might make
some steamed crab & shrimp dumplings, too.

I can't see Julie making fondue. Can't eat cheese, can't eat bread. I
figured the crudites were worth mentioning.
