It was a great meal.    And like potlucks, even though we have more than one bringing vegetable and dessert, we never seem to have "duplicates"!    And we don't discuss what we're bringing either -- it just happens -- Of course, with church potluck dinners, I always felt that there was divine intervention to keep us from having a "all green bean" dinner!

We discussed our various cookbooks, we discussed why we chose the recipe that we chose and we talked about things not food related.     It's a good group of women, all who have an interest in food!

I'll share one recipe with you -- for the coconut crunch.    It was good.    Even as full as we were after dinner, we all took full size helpings!     Thank you friend Rita, I'm sure that it will be made again!
