Unfortunately, hubby has a side-job on the 8th (down in the Baltimore area, ironically), so will not be coming home until late that night. So we’re unavailable. Have fun! ---

[QUOTE=Scuba\_Ben] Also, based on last year’s usage, I’ll bring egg nog and Kahlúa in about equal quantities. [/QUOTE] Uh-oh. You should know that **danceswithcats** is _ **still** _ accusing me of getting him tipsy on egg nog and Kahlua and taking advantage of him. I may never live that down. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=norinew] Oh, yeah. Like he needs _help_ getting tipsy! 😛 [/QUOTE] Yeah I don’t think there’ll be those melty in your face shortbreads this year. Due to work insanity which is making me want to quit the damned job, I will probably be working right up until I pick up my guest from the airport on Thursday. ---

Gotta go to Grandma’s for broccoli casserole and corn pudding, sorry. Why must you always plan these things on days when I have to be somewhere else? Hey, wait a minute… ---

Nah, I have access to Cipro, I’m good. Bring all the anthrax you like! The botulism will be injected into my forehead. ---

I think everyone who has received an email from me had best disregard the directions and use Mapquest or Google. I don’t see how, but Dave says they’re incorrect. ---

Question for those in the know: We’re trying to make the pasta salad conform to kosher for the benefit of those who require that. So far we have veggies, whole wheat pasta, hard-boiled eggs. **supervenusfreak** wants to add the specialty mozzarella he usually does. Is mozzarella kosher, in general? Or does it need to actually be certified kosher? ---

While our kosher-eatin’ friend is not at home, he eats kosher-_style_. Basically, no pork, and not mixing dairy and meat. ---
