Potluck Paradise -- the Talk of the Town


I don't think either one of us has ever been on "the Town Sign" before -- But there we were up on the main street in Lake Lillian, our second stop on Thursday. The audience in the charming City Center meeting room was worthy of being up on a sign, too. We had a wonderful time speaking to a lively group.

The day started off with a stop in the park just off Dawson's main street. There we had to prep the strawberries for the two Thursday talks. So we opened up the back of the car and sliced the berries into small plastic bags for sugaring down. It was a bit of an adventure in the pre-storm 30 mile per hour winds.



We spoke at 2 pm in the mezzanine of the Dawson public library. It is worth a trip to see this beautiful adaptive reuse of the old Armory into a stunning library with surrounding apartments. The mezzanine was the perfect setting for an interesting and delightful interaction with an audience that included young children and teenagers.



We met even more cooking-interested teens and tweens in Lake Lillian. We had a lot of fun sharing memories of the 1950s with those, like us, who actually remembered it, too! Here are just a few of the wonderful ladies of Lake Lillian. You can tell we are having a really good time.



Our two-ingredient strawberry jam demonstration went well and sharing the finished product spooned onto crackers brought both presentations to a tasty conclusion.

Two more stops -- Maynard tonight and the potluck at the Graceville Public Library tomorrow at noon.
