[Hugin]

3. Mmm... Sounds delicious!

Reminded me of something funny which happened a couple of
nights ago...

We were doing some Holiday Trivia Questions and the question was
read, "What is the holiday season's most common canned..." Just
then my B-I-L yells out, "Salmon!" (We all looked at him as the
question was finished), "... pie filling."

Here's to SALMON PIE! A holiday treat! ;)

I think I'd rather have some delicious Italian Food tonight!

We aren't doing the baccala. When my aunt used to make it, nobody would eat it and then we would end up going to church smelling like it. We do have some seafood dishes planned, though. :hi:
