The Chef's Comments: "Well, I finally got up the nerve to have people other than my parents over for dinner. it went well, and really wasn't too hard. Now I now I can repeat the process with Neil's family sometime. I keep wanting to invite them over, but I'm kind of nervous cooking for a group. Anyway, here's what we had:" - Lisa From: Lisa Date: 09-15-96 (13:46) The Polka Dot Cottage, a BBS with a taste of home. 1-973-822-3627 -----
