Hi Bacchus,

The Pan-Am Games remind me of this Jack Lemmon quip: "If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball."

If you find yourself hosting or invited to a backyard bash, serve something that’s always a satisfying crowd-pleaser: a delicious Canadian cheese platter and wines ...
