JB, I like your composed, picturesque salad!
Is that chicken with potatoes and avocadoes?
Is the salad and chicken dressed, or naked?
Surprisingly, I took salad to work lunch party!
Nothing fancy like JB. Now he gave me ideas!
I have the leftover salad mixed with Cowboy Caviar!
Sally, your Italian sausage with kale sounds like Zuppa Toscana soup!
Another party favorite!
Birthday Bash - deli sandwich meat on Hawaiian rolls,
spinach dip, cowboy caviar, corn chips, salad,
Gentilly cake, and fruity lemonade "mixed" with Sprite zero!!!
Oh, I can't forget the CrockPots!
one had BBQ meatballs, and one warmed the Zuppa Toscana soup!
Of course, I liked the flavorfull meatballs in warm cheesy soup!
Amazing how pot luck brings foods and friends together!
Soups and sandwiches, chips and dips, cake and punch!
This would have a complete different meaning,
if I wrote, "cakes and punches"!
