The ones for home are the most important :)

I sent a card to my mom on the same day...and while Chris has gotten his that was sent at the same time I don't think my mom has gotten hers. I tried to hint without giving it away by being like "So, any mail for me this week?" hoping if she forgot to mention that she got the card FROM me that would jog her memory but no dice...they were sent on Monday and within country is suppose to be 2-3 business days...hopefully next week yours will arrive.

I only like them in very small amounts. Otherwise I am not a peanut butter fan at all really.

Peanut butter by itself is. Peanut butter combined with chocolate, however... *boing*

Strange. We had plenty of nuts in my school. In fact, most of my graduating class...

I don't recall ever eating Nanaimo bars...though I may have and forgotten all about it in the sugar-rush :D

Pecan or sugar-pie Mmmmmmmm

My family's Christmas time snack is Crème Opéra (opera cream...don't ask, it doesn't make sense to me either)

It's a combination of whipping cream and jello, with extra jellatin to thicken it up and canned-mixed fruits suspended in the middle. It's the special treat from my great-Aunt Jocelyn... off of whom I finally got the recipie after close to 15 years of asking. she gave it to me once I introduced her to my son, her great-grand-nephew. :D

i have a similar salad that is a family favorite, especially with the kids. it goes like this:
2 cans fruit cocktail, drained (i like the kind with extra cherries)
1/2 a thing of cool whip
1/2 a bag of mini marshmallows
mix and chill.
