Yesterday’s party seemed expensive, but as I panned across my table to see the spoils of left overs I grinned. I had a bag of chips, 1/2 a pound of cheese, 2 boardfeet of crackers, 4 dozen cookies, 5 herb muffins, and lots of cashews. My original intent was to have a soup to nuts meal, but whereas I chose cashews, it turned out being soup to drupes. I’m fine with that as a tradition.
