I served baked ham and sourdough pancakes to 80+ people that weekend, and some of the guests that met for the first time that day, are still good friends, over 30 years later!<<<
That should have earned you a few extra feathers in your Angel wings.
It is a good idea and I am glad it worked for you.
I like to think it was the sour dough pancakes that brought everyone so close together. (But, perhaps it was the bloody-marys and screw-drivers that I served along with the brunch? Who’da thunk?) LOL!
Thanks, Granny!
