Our gathering on Thursday was alot of fun - some ladies even got a project made! The food was a success and several people had asked for recipes - so I will put them on the blog - maybe someday I can get my "Web Master" to create a spot where I can add some others. If any of you have the South Cache Quilters 20th Anniversary Cookbook, the pasta salad recipe is on page 52 - with just a few changes in the dressing.
