      Last night was a FANTASTIC potluck! Julia graced us once again with her presence. And Bree, a member of StoneSoupCommunity.com for quite awhile, finally attended her first potluck with her daughter. We had a wonderful diversity of food, including another gluten-free selection. Carol made a gluten-free version of apple cobbler. And, as with all things made by Carol, it was wonderful!

      It was an awesome potluck for sure. One of the best. My favorite was chocolate fudge made by Bree. It was awesome and am watching for the recipe to appear!
