    Wonderful selection of drinks and appetizers.. I am eying those cheese stuffed dates with Prosciutto – ok, drooling is probably a more appropriate description!!

    Happy Hogmanay to you Paula and wishing you health, happiness and continued success in 2011!!

  6. Rossella says

    Happy New Years Paula!
    Dates and prosciutto are a great idea. I just tried to do a bread with walnuts and dates and cookies with dates and chocolate. I need that idea for appetizer.

  7. Noelle says

    Happy New Year! Those drinks and apps look so delicious! Bacon wrapped prunes ran in my family. Have a good one.

  8. Claudia says

    The olives are calling to me… not it’s the dates… no -it’s- well – dreaming of it all. Happy 2011.
