Christmas 2019 (who knew that would be the last big gathering?), I was assigned a dessert for dinner. I made an angel food cake, along with a mixed berry sauce & whipped cream. Everyone loved it. I think that is what I'd like to make for the next big gathering.

About 1 year ago, last Mother's Day, my husband and I decided a a good meal would be nicest to give, since no one had been out to eat since February. I assembled FOUR lasagnas (my mom, his mom, his mother-in-law, and us), baked 2 batches of your chocolate chip cookies (the recipe with vinegar), and two loaves of your no-knead cheese bread. Divided everything up, packed it into my car, and we made front porch deliveries (added bagged salads, too).

Everyone was surprised & happy to have some good food without having to do all the work. They just had to bake the lasagnas. This year everyone is fully vaccinated, and we'll be able to give hugs!

Stay safe, everyone. Keep fighting the fight & we'll get through this together!
