What a great idea to have the food (hosted by the Bronze table) placed on a circular table that we could go around and around for more. The food was incredible! Thank you for including all of your best recipes.
The Topaz table is in charge of hosting our next meeting on December 17th. If you have any questions, please contact the table leader, Heather Andrews.
