Sue's Strombolli - A crowd pleaser!

Going out to dinner with friends for my birthday.  Been invited to “Jack & Jill” shower and I really can’t wait to meet River Robyn.   Heading out now with 2 strombollis hot out of the oven for their guests enjoyment as they celebrate this happy occasion!  Have to rush, afternoon is flying by and I have promised that I would be ready to go out for dinner by 6pm.  Shower is 45 min drive into the city (Pape & Danforth) and back again but it will be worth it!

Pictures do not do this dish justice; no man has ever complained and will devour this dish!  Would be great to serve if the gang were watching hockey, football or baseball game.
