Carlo, I hope you're doing great. Do you remember there being two different kinds of cocolate-covered cherries? One kind had a clear liquid inside, and the other had a thicker milky liquid? "May the Good Lord take a likin' to you!" (Remembering Roy Roger's best song.)

THE HOME COFFEE BAR

Once in awhile,
I like to set out a home-made coffee bar on the counter
next to the desserts on special occasions. I set it up after
dinner. It looks like this, but varies each year.

1 big coffee pot filled with hot perked coffee
1 electric pot of hot water

Whipped Cream (Lite Whipped Cream)
French Vanilla Ice-Cream (Lite Ice Cream)
Cinnamon
Apple Pie Spice
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Chocolate Chips
Chocolate Mints
Other sprinkles for coffee
Lipton Black Tea
Green Tea
Lemon Tea

It's great. Everyone makes their own beverage
to go along with dessert.

Correction:

That is a great recipe.
My step-mother used to make it every year.

Praying for you, dear Carlo. Hope your surgery went well, and that you are resting and healing. You inspired me to start eating healthy again - and for that, I'll always be grateful. < :D

[christie]

I just talked with Carlo. He's home now, very tired and resting, but on the mend, thank God!

He sends his love and gratitude for all the prayers, they were very much needed.
