Holiday Fun: "Roast Beast"

After snacking on more cheese, membrillo, "pickle," crostini, dolmades, Greek olives, and the like, we're in the midst of dinner preparations. We'll be having "roast beast," soft dinner rolls, roasted veggies including winter squashes and sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts, green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and whatever else. Plus cranberry upside-down cake, poached pears, and . . . oh, no, I forgot to make the strawberry jello jigglers. Ooops. Be back later . . . .
