5. You are not alone!

There must be thousands of us ... planning for visitors who never show, or vice versa.

But I don't stop. I can't stop. I found two places with sfogliatella pastry (thank goodness, frozen), I got cavatelli, mafaldine (had to order online ), spumoni, you name it.

I learned cooking from my Mom, and cooked a lot for my family when we were together in one place.

I leave stuff out. I'm tired at times. Barely slept last night (I think I anticipate indictments coming down or maybe judges reading the riot act to scofflaws).

So, where I used to write down elaborate menus for people (the ones who never visited), I just figure I'll go out, send for food, make something damn simple, even if most of it comes from the freezer. Last time my daughter visited, I was so tired from cleaning that I let her sightsee without me.

Be glad of friends and family. They *REALLY* are more interested in you the person than the eats. And I always was the Iron Chef Showboat.

If it freezes, it pleases.

I take pictures of sunsets (and more!) and share with friends.

So have a great sunset.



Peace!
