Good morning gang.  Nothing on the agenda today except for more decorating - maybe if I make an all out effort today, I can wrap it up.  Tomorrow is my day with Scotty so won&#39;t get mch done then.  Mary Lou, the fried ravioli is really easy - I buy the frozen cheese ravioli, then I thaw it out.  I also lay them in a single layer on a platter lined with paper towels and nuke them for about a minute after they thaw to make sure the centers are no longer cold.  Probably not necessary, but I always worry that they won&#39;t be hot thru and thru when finished.  I heat up my deep fryer (or a pan of oil).  I dip each one in flour, then in an egg - milk mixture and then roll them in italian bread crumbs and drop them into the fryer.  As I said, I serve them with marinara sauce and they are a favorite appetizer around here.  I got the idea from Olive Garden, which serves the beef ravioli that way but my family prefers the cheese ones.  I guess I will also be serving Carnival&#39;s Wam Melthing Chocolate Cake as it has been requested - I made it last Christmas Eve and the kids loved it.  Our youngest son collects DVD&#39;s from all his favorite movies and shows - he has literally thousands of DVD&#39;s.  Last year, he requested the complete collection of &quot;The Soprano&#39;s&quot; so we bought those and this year it was all of the Married With Children episodes.  I got those ordered last night.  Our oldest son is wanting a new dining room table and chairs so we plan to give him a gift certificate to American Furniture Warehouse - just have to go get it.  I still have other things to get for them - I am going to get them each one of those dresser valets that also have charging stations for their cell phones, iPods, etc.  Penney&#39;s had 2 different ones in their catalog and I tried to order both, but each time got a message that it was unavailable, so will go to Bed Bath &amp; Beyond and see what they havve.  For some reason, it just seems that I am going thru the motions this year but am really not into the holidays - hope I get the holiday spirit soon.  Well, gotta&#39; get to my chores and then get back on that tree....
