I’m with AV: that buffet looks wonderful! I’m so happy I found this site, hope to enjoy it for many, many years.
Mother Nature is a fickle one: snow Monday night and temps this morning only in the 30s so far. My miniature iris bllomed on Sunday though: what a nice touch of color, wish I had a pic to share…

yes, I have such great memories too! …… CM’s baby shower was amazing! …… jury duty….. taking GD’s Bobbie on many vacations ….. the wackbonk sticks, the cybercycle….. the goo wars with Lady Valkerie…..transporting Rocky cross country by many TDKers to HM ….. my rain tutu ….. loosing too many good friends…. loosing our babies ….. and then the births and weddings of friends and family …… we became a part of each other’s lives …… and of course all those years of the beautiful Christmas cards …… Daisymew’s worry stones …… Emma’s beautiful bridge stories ….. and of course Dee’s wacky threads, like ‘why oh why’ ….. or the time SM had Sven host the night shift and we made up an entire family of ‘vens’ – hilarious! ….. so many people posting so fast, we would hit a wall ……. *sighs* …… treasured memories, all!

Oh Joan, those links are priceless. Thanks for finding/sharing. I favorite them too!
Waving, Hi PM…happy you stopped by to share memories! 🙂

Ham and Pear California Rolls
Recipe from George Stella’s STILL LIVIN’ LOW CARB cookbook

Prep Time 15 min / Chill Time 30 min / Serves 8

SHOPPING LIST
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1?2 pound thinly sliced deli ham, at least 8 slices
2 ripe bartlet pears, sliced into thin wedges (may use any pear)
1 cup fresh baby arugula, may use fresh spinach

1. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese over each slice of ham to start the rolls.

2. Place a couple of pear slices in the center of each roll lengthwise and top with a few sprigs of arugula.

3. Roll the ham up around the fillings and place on a plate, seam-side down.

4. Refrigerate rolls for 30 minutes until cheese is firm. Cut each roll on a bias or slight slant into 3 slices. Serve chilled rolls atop a bed of baby arugula.

HELPFUL HINTS
Using prosciutto in place of the ham and mascarpone cheese (a creamy Italian cheese) in place of the regular cream cheese turns the gourmet dial on this recipe up an extra notch!
