Kidzilla and crew are coming over tomorrow for a belated Christmas.
We've trashed all the candymaking with the exception of some Fantasy
Fudge. There will also be a sour cream apple pie and possibly some
Seven Layer Bars.

We got little tiny buns at the grocery store. We're slicing what's
left of the rotisseried ham to go on them. Also slicing some cheddar
cheese (boy, I hope that meat slicer works!) Found a killer deal on a
huge ring of shrimp with cocktail sauce in the middle.

Side dishes will be my dilled potato salad, Bush's baked beans (we
usually get the frozen Captain Ken's beans, but we went to the wrong
store), and I think that's it.

I'll stick with plain ham and lots of shrimp. There *will* be a
forkful of the pie, and there *will* be a forkful of the potato salad.

Oh! I almost forgot. I got a 20 piece set of stoneware Christmas
dishes at the thrift shop this afternoon. US$9.99 with 75% off
because it's a Christmas item. I walked out of there with this huge
box of dishes for $2.66, including tax. 'Course, it's not a complete
set or anything, but it'll add a little pizzaz to tomorrow's buffet.

We haven't wrapped gift yet. This is going to be a long, long night.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Carol

Carol, what kind of meat slicer do you have? We had a rival, chrome
or stainless steel, I think sort of a commercial model. It's just the
two of us so we gave it to our church kitchen for when they cater
banquets. I only used it once and it was a "bear" to clean....Sharon

What are the dishes? Pattern? Description?
My everyday Christmas stuff is from Target - whatever that brand is for
their dishes, etc. Poinsettias - one big one in the middle of the
dinner plates, soup plates, salad plates. I like poinsettias.
Christmas, but also winter. They'll be in the cupboard until
Valentine's Day.
