OH I made this and it's so good words can't even do it justice!! You gotta make it. I did not make the full recipe; just made one box of spinach and added what I thought to be enough of all the rest of the ingredients; here's the recipe: SPINACH GRATIN 50 ounces frozen, chopped spinach, thawed 4 tablespoons butter 2 small onions, chopped, 5 ounces 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup heavy cream 2 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Pinch nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon Spicy Seasoning Salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded, 1/2 cup 2 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup In a medium skillet, sauté the onion in the butter 15 minutes. Blend in the cream cheese on medium-low heat. Gradually blend in the cream until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the garlic powder and nutmeg. Squeeze all of the liquid from the spinach and place in a greased 11x7" baking pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and mix well (I found that using 2 forks to do the mixing worked well). Mix in the salt, seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread evenly in the pan, then top with the Swiss cheese and remaining 1/2 cup parmesan. Bake at 425º 20-30 minutes until hot and bubbly.

owbist, shut down, and left it for an hour or so, rebooted, and still there, should I perhaps do a system restore, or is this just something that I screwed up on, and can fix it otherwise? Thanks for your answer, I appreciate the input.

Oh! That is AWESOME! *I don't care if no one uses that word any more...sometimes it's appropriate.* You cracked the whip and tamed that wild beast! Congratulations. Sadly, in cleaning up the dining room with a deadline today, I brought some clutter back into my home office closet that I previously removed. At least I know I can deal with it without taking too much time in the very near future. I know exactly what you mean about deep cleaning too. I just hate to dust, but it's not so bad when the clutter is gone. My dining room has been reclaimed, for which I am grateful. Celtic, I wish you had a scanner too. Tell us about the picture. Was the wraparound desk piled high?

Well the patio party went really well. First, the weather was perfect. Lots of conversation, and lots of people mentioning how glad they were they came to catch up with other folks and all. So that was a success. Some key learnings. Despite how easy it is to RSVP by email or by phone, very few RSVP'd. Major frustration. Of those that did, one RSVP'd yes that day but never showed. Another RSVP'd a day after and said so sorry we couldn't make it...like that helps. And I had people who showed up who I had no idea were coming. Fortunately we had plenty of food...one of the reasons I like having people bring a dish...more people, more food. Second, people mostly brought appetizers or desserts. I had only made one dessert (brownies which was a big seller), but I did have too many appetizers. Next time, I'll just do one hot one. I made the kielbasa in the crock pot with rye bread on the side which went like hot cakes, esp when the Polish family arrived! There's none left. The main meal worked out well. I did a big ham in the crockpot, which was so tender it almost was "pulled ham"! But it makes a lot of juice. I sliced it ahead of time and kept it warm in the pot in the juice and that worked well. I made a raisin sauce on the side in case it was dry....it was nice, but I'm not sure necessary. I thought I'd have a lot of leftover, but the majority of it went. I made a potato casserole served it in my enameled cast iron pot so even after I took it out of the oven, it stayed warm. I could've used it on the induction cooktop, but it wasn't necessary. I had coleslaw as the vegetable side dish and got compliments on it. Rolls and butter too in case people preferred to make a sandwich of the ham and they went pretty quickly too.
