What to bring for Christmas
As mentioned in the randoms post, my family's Christmas is Sunday. Mom *finally* has agreed to do it potluck, so she doesn't spend all day in the kitchen on her replaced knees, and get too exhausted to enjoy the gathering.
She's making mostaccioli. Sister's making big salad. SIL is bringing garlic bread and dip. Brother is unsure.
I'm thinking either a side dish or dessert (maybe both). It needs to be made at our house (because while mom isn't slaving away in the kitchen, she gets crazy when someone else is using it), travel 2.5 hours, and be good to go in the afternoon. I will be able to put something in the oven, or plug in a crock pot.
Suggestions?

Fruit? Fruit salad? Steamed veggie meddley?
Confession: I had to google mostaccioli.
True story, while googling and examining the word in Wiki, I thought to myself, 'Dang, that is a doozy of a word. I'm super impressed she knew how to spell that.'
Ha.
Cannolis? They're really fun to make, but are kind of a lot of work.
This is an excellent Italian cream cheese mousse, and really easy. You could make it the night before then just keep it in a cooler/fridge until ready to serve.
