We had a little cherry pie left from last week and some of the cream cheese frosting from the Christmas Eve cinnamon rolls, so my wife tried warming some of the frosting and spreading it on the last of the cherry pie.

Before we were married, my wife was given a 'kitchen' bridal shower where everybody brought a spice and a recipe. (We had over a dozen bottles of chili powder as a result, it took us decades to use them all or throw them out.)
