Let's Try It Out


I've just created this blog for Bridgewater Friends. Let's try it out and see if this will be a quick & easy way to keep in touch. A few people have mentioned starting a Bridgewater recipe file. If you will post the recipes on the blog I'll help copy them and put into a booklet form. When we have enough we'll make copies for everyone. Would anyone like to help me?

Keta, wanted my coffee cake recipe from the other Sunday so I'll start with it. I have a few of Millie's, her Hummingbird Cake and Mandarin Orange Cake. I also have Mary Pitt's Squash Casserole. So we're off to a good start.
Sandra I'd love to have your recipe from Sunday 9-2-07. I don't know what you call it, but it was absolutely fabulous. Please post it for us.
