I look at it and think about substitutions or omissions... (What is in my refrigerator? Who will complain if I add onion? If I use pickle juice in the French Dressing does that make it GermanFrench Dressing?? Pondering....)
We went to a lot of church pot lucks and picnics growing up and they were a good thing for community and fellowship. (Especially if you had a lot of family in the Church!) I am glad you have that to enjoy!
I don’t have a lot of potato salad left so people ate it - yay! Most of the spicy Jiffy corn pudding is gone as well :-)
