People are chowing down ... I can't do much of anything right now other than watch!!!
My friend who is a caterer, her son ... also works in catering is handling everything. We are just sitting back relaxing.
Lovin, I am all for soup/salad or soup/sammie. Classic paring tonight.
My other fave ... creamy potato - not chunky or creamy and roast beef panini w/blue cheese
My 2 all time classic parings.

I really enjoy salmon patties; when salmon goes on sale - I stock up. Did you serve a sauce with it?cagey wrote:I made salmon patties tonight, I tried a new recipe and they were quite tasty!
