Matt, my thanks for all your good wishes. With 3 trips to the airport, we got to enjoy the mamouth China Buffet near LaGuardia THREE times, so everybody was very happy.. One daughter baked a Death by Chocolate cake, and I made a lemon chiffon pie and a lemon meringue pie, and we picked up a toasted coconut cream pie, so we did feast very well...<g>... The biggest bonus this year was my inspiration to use only paper plates -- and what a difference that made in the work load! Thanks to Costco Warehouse, it didn't pinch the budget. They've all left for home, and now we await the 6 to 12 inch snowfall which we are being warned about. Jimmie gets another chance to shovel, oh such happiness!
