IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR
This time of year is special to people in many different ways. It is the season for giving, celebrating, being thankful, strengthening your faith, shopping, baking, decorating, entertaining, reuniting with family, and spending time with friends. Most of us have traditions that we revisit during the Holiday season and those traditions often involve food. This year we will be doing something at our December bee that we have never done before. We're havin' a potluck! We have never been able to have a potluck in past years due to lack of space.
THE POTLUCK PLAN
Dictionary.com explains the word POTLUCK as "a meal, especially for a large group, to which participants bring various foods to be shared." So that's what we're going to do, have true potluck. It's really very simple. If you have a favorite dish that you would like to share with your fellow Peace by Piece sewers bring it to the December bee. You may even want to bring copies of your recipe so others can recreate those favorite dishes for their friends and family. Of course, if it's a guarded family secret we'll understand. We do have access to a fully equipped kitchen, so you'll be able to refrigerate what needs refrigeration and heat up what needs heated. There should be plenty of outlets for crock pots or other small electric appliances. Please bring serving utensils. Disposable plates and eating utensils will be supplied by Janet. If your brain is so full of Holiday preparations that it just can't deal with one more thing, like choosing and preparing a dish to share, then just come and enjoy.
