Oh, heavens. At least everyone survived, Ihope <G>. That's very
unusual, as I have always found that church socials or potlucks of any
kind seem to bring out some really good food. Better luck next time?
I am continually amazed at how very different everyone's version of
something as simple as fried chicken or potato salad can all taste.
It's very interesting. I still remember an "ice cream social" many
years ago - there must have been 30 or more batches of ice cream and
they were all so completely different. Well, I didn't try ALL of
them, but I did my best.
