Lucy is a very creative cook and is not afraid to try different combinations of things together. Here she is adding the dressing to her salad below.
The salad Lucy whipped up had black beans, corn, butter beans, red and green peppers, celery, green olives and an avocado guacamole type dressing. Served on a big platter and heaped high, it was delicious.
Table #1 was nearly full. We were happy to have so many of the men folk join us too. We couldn't get along without their fixing expertise for all the mechanical and electrical things that are donated.
The volunteers at table #2 enjoy catching up with what each other has been up to since last they were together.
The potluck theme was Happy New Year and the tables were decorated appropriately with streamers and bottles of grape bubbly for us to enjoy.
Volunteers go through the potluck line to sample the good food. What a variety too. We have some good cooks in our group.
