Hey AC! The pudding turned out great, I especially love the butterscotch recipe! Thanks for adding that! I had a great 4th even though it rained during the parade. Well, more like a steady drizzle, so it wasn't a wash(pardon the pun!). The fireworks were awesome!

I hope you had a great 4th! Sounds like you did having the grandkids there. Thanks for the kind words about the pic! It was taken by my husband back in 2001 for a CD that I recorded down in Tennessee. Unfortunately, because of my health issues, I don't look like that anymore.� At least I don't think so, but I do still "clean up" pretty nice! I'm really excited, in October I'll be attending (Finally) my class reunion. Actually it's OUR 50th B-Day party. I'm helping to put it together, and will be performing for my peers (YIKES!) over that weekend!� The best part, you'll get a kick out of this, the night before the catered party at the hotel, I'm catering a smaller party at a local gymnasium.� I mean they ASKED me to cater the feast!� Isn't that a hoot? I don't know which to be more nervouse about, performing in front of about 150 people that remember me as a weird kid, or serving food that I cooked to about 15-20 of these same people. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about Hors D'Vours, but the salad should be easy. I'm making 2 different, one italian and the other a garden salad. I think 2 main courses, 1 Italian with garlic bread, the other I'm thinking beef wellington (I'll definately need the recipe!). The veggies will be the same for both dishes I hope, unless you have any suggestions. For dessert, one will be my cheesecake and the other I think apple pie, what do you think? Also, I have no idea what wines to serve!!! Can you help with any of this? I'm going to post this, but I wanted to give you a heads up, for HELP !!!

How did I get into this one? To go from being totally clueless in the kitchen to being the caterer to some 20 people for a party is nothing short of a miracle don't you think? I owe it to this site for all of the help I've gotten with my dumb questions! Thanks to all!
