I have always loved feeding people and hosting. I started at 17 just a year after marrying.

Well, not true, I have friends here but not close by. They are all 2-5 hours away.

When we lived in KY (where all of our friends are) we would have a house full and it was so much fun. Sometimes we'd do a potluck but more often than not I would cook the whole thing! I didn't realize how much I missed it until I thought of it. I don't have any friends here in SC.

As to being hostess, I wasn't raised attending/giving them and even now in my 70s, I'm still uncomfortable. Oh, and like you, I don't eat mushrooms. LOL!Donna B.

We didn't do it weekly but once a month we'd do a lady's night pot luck and I always did a New Year's Day open house where I did about 95% of the cooking. Happy memories!Karen BakingInATornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908944310611937600noreply@blogger.com
