2008 concluded with a plumbing issue that delayed our party plans. Just like Obama, we'll be spending some time in '09 cleaning up a mess from '08. Ralph stayed behind to wait for Roto-Rooter while Jackie and I drove to Dayton. Ralph made it to the party at 1 am, in time for a beer and a trip back home.
Took this to the Ryan New Year's Eve Party to fulfill my buffet assignment for an Apple Salad. From www.allrecipes.com, with 299 ratings, all rating the recipe 5 out of 5. It's perfect!
