Cyndi,

Actually, they have to make them for us too!

Carrots make a great appetizer. So does a steamed Artichoke. I steam it with garlic cloves, anise seeds, peppercorns (about a teaspoon of each) and a 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar in the water. No need for mayo or butter and you can do those ahead of time. No pain for those.

Wendy - glad to contribute to your nightly merriment. New cosmo recipe - add 1/2 0z of OJ and a splash of grenadine to your cosmo - South Beach Cosmo. Although it's a recipe retired by the Cheesecake Factory from last summer, I just got them to give it to me.
