Try as I might, I have not lost an OUNCE over the holidays, but what the
heck.  I am giving a crepe party on new year's day then it will all be
officially over.  One thing about crepes, you can load them up with
something like lean ham and low or no fat cheese and get away with nibbling
on it while enjoying your guests.  These are great parties when there are
kids coming, by the way.  You can do the crepes the day before, then warm
them in an electric skillet or something or reheat them on a grill (I gave
myself that lovely Wolfgang Puck grill for MY Xmas to me!) and people pile
on whatever they want. I find some "sparkling sugar" for the kiddos..its
crunchy and comes in different colours, so they should have a ball.
I did have my last slice of pecan pie on Xmas...why the last?  The lower
braces go on on Monday, that's why.  Two things I can't have in one pie:
sticky filling and crumbly nuts!
