Tasty Present

"The Morning After"*

*Tired of super-hectic Christmas mornings, I was
pleased to find a recipe called "Christmas Morning
Wifesaver Breakfast."

I prepared the breakfast the night before so that
it could be put in the oven while we opened our
gifts with our four small children.

It was delicious.

Next year I followed the "tradition" and prepared
the same breakfast. After everyone was seated, I
put the casserole on the table. My five-year-old
exclaimed disgustedly, "This again!"

"Tasty Present"*

*Just after Christmas I received a rather general
thank-you note from my sister for the present I had sent her.

However, her next letter in mid-March explained
that upon receiving my gift, a well taped box of
chocolates, she had immediately put it in the
freezer because she had already gained about
six pounds that Christmas and wanted to avoid temptation.

One day in March, having lost the excess weight
and craving a chocolate, she went to the freezer,
mouth watering in anticipation, opened the box,
and discovered the frozen black sequined evening purse I had given her.
