On Saturday we attended a joint birthday party for my friend, George 12/9, and me, 12/8. We have been doing this for many years. The table was laden with many delicious treats- latkes and sour cream, chips and guacamole, shrimp cocktail, sandwich wraps, cookies, herring, deviled eggs, crackers and cheese rolls.

Of course it was too much for 10 people to eat! We brought a bunch home and had a second hors d’oeuvres dinner on Sunday. On Monday it will be time to get back to cooking!
