After a hard days work, you need to play, you need to eat! The grill is traditionally man's territory, but pizzas are better in the oven : )
Spanish Pinchitos: a great shish kebab appetizer.
Carrot Cake: Tom O'Donnell tackled this one for June's first 40th birthday.
Calamari and Octopus Salad: A favorite Chrismas Eve salad from the Alacchi family.
Chip Dips: A couple of party dips - Garbanzo bean (chick peas) and Crab Spread.
Baba Au Rhum Cake This was Christmas 2003 dessert (sans rum)
Meals On Wheels Kitchen Island: A nice project that is relatively cheap to build - $125ish.
