Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 perhaps have everyone bring a recipe card with their recipe written out. display the card then you'll have the recipe as a keepsake/scrapbook item showing what was served on the special day. Beth Creative Memories - for all your memory preservations needs! “The right adult at the right time can make an enormous difference.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I like this idea - being fatally allergic to nuts I tend not to be able to go to " pot luck " suppers, this way you know everyone is safe (whatever their dietary needs) AND as you say you have a wonderful memento of the day as well! If you get a photo of everyone as they arrive you could put that on the same page as the recipe as well :-) The Dragon (aka High Priestess Enchanting Even weave) Current stitching - RSPCA Perfect Pets, Map of Durham, Cat Ornaments, Green Man http://tempewytch.blogspot.com/ - stitching/house http://tempewytchdiet.blogspot.com/ - diet/angst --- On Tue, 17/3/09, Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 Re: Great Ideas Tuesday, 17 March, 2009, 2:04 AM perhaps have everyone bring a recipe card with their recipe written out. display the card then you'll have the recipe as a keepsake/scrapbook item showing what was served on the special day.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Oh, how awful about your congregation member. That's an even better reason to make sure dishes are labeled. Try to find some placecard holders at a party supply store. If you get holders that are pretty simple, you can use them at other events, too. Your church may be interested in using them if you have potlucks at your church, too. Audrey S.
