Dear Folks, Before I get to the point of this message let me tell you that last weekend my dear next-door neighbor Ken told me that he would be on vacation for a week and that his parents would pick up my newspaper and mail. I asked him where he was going for his vacation and he told me he was going to Belle Air an island off the coast of Venezuela to go scuba diving. I asked if he was going alone and he told me that his steady girlfriend Michelle was going with him. Ah HAH! Hey that sounded pretty good to me and I wished the two of them would have a great time scuba diving. Now getting to today. While I was in the middle of my mystery book the phone rang at 5:00. It was Ken's mother Pattie asking me if I had already had dinner. No I hadn't. She said that I shouldn't fix dinner tonight because she and her husband John would bring it over to me in 1/2 hour. Well, Yippipdy do dah! That sounded great to me. When they arrived I was overwhelmed by what was on the large plastic plate that Pattie put down on my table. It certainly wasn't your typical Easter dinner! On the very top were two lovely pieces of garlic bread that John said he had made. In addition there were three generous helpings of two kinds of sausages--Polish and Italian. There were oven roasted potatoes, a mixture of sauerkraut and spiral noodles, three large slices of baked ham, and an exquisite mixture of garlic and olive oil over cooked baby carrots, summer squash, mushrooms and sweet red peppers. Also on the plate was a generous helping of a familiar salad of whipped Jell-O, Cool Whip, marshmallows and maraschino cherries. After I caught my breath over that delicious bounty, Patti pointed out what else they had brought over. The bowl was covered over with plastic wrap and she told me that it was a piece of cheesecake. Oh be still my heart! :-) And oh by the way, there was something that the Easter Bunny had sent over. It was a solid chocolate Easter Bunny. (Note: I sampled that after dinner and the taste of the chocolate was out of this world. The cellophane wrapper said that it was from the Niagara Chocolate Factory in Buffalo). Before they left, John couldn't wait to tell me that they had a phone call today from their son Ken and he told them that he had asked Michelle to marry him and she accepted!! Wow! That made all of us happy. My dinner this evening was a delicious over-kill. Heaven help me if I were to have sat down at their dinner table and helped myself to all of the dishes on the table. I would have been so stuffed that they would have had to roll me out of the door! But here's the kicker. After dinner when I had all of the food prepared for the freezer or put into containers in my refrigerator, I took a peek at the cheesecake in the covered bowl. Yes there was a lovely wedge of cheesecake with a slice of fresh strawberry on top. But when I looked closer, the cheesecake was sitting on a mound of fresh strawberries. Now is that to die for or what?? :-) So there I've told you about my neighborly Easter Meals on Wheels. I'm still chomping on the bit to have seconds or thirds. vee
