Mom turned 80 on February 2nd. She didn't want a big celebration, so we made it a potluck gathering in Portland. With some of the family living in Eugene, and some living in the Portland area, it seemed like a good idea to gather in Portland on a Sunday afternoon in late February. Marci and I decided (without consulting each other) to contribute Gypsy Soup. Salads, cornbread, wines and decadent chocolate cake with fresh berries rounded out the feast!  |
