[Fictionary] Ballot for albondiga!

[Lawrence Miller]

Hi, folks,

Due to the upcoming holiday weekend, let's please get our votes in by the
end of the day FRIDAY, December 30th.  If that will be a hardship for
anyone, please let me know.  Otherwise, I'll send out the results on the
morning of the 31st, and we can toast the winner along with the New Year!
