Your questions about the lemon bread prompted me to actually make it. My girls loved it. My husband had some and said this is good. Why haven't we had this before? I had no answer except I better make some more since it is almost gone.
Glad you luncheon went great. Maybe I should do one too.

No, I wasn't fishing for compliments! I was just amazed that I actually pulled it off. It seems like everytime I prepare things for guests, some disaster happens in the kitchen and I mess everything up. Once a made this casserole that friends said was "foolproof," and it was so awful that I had to take my guests out to dinner (and the casserole ended up in the trashcan.) It's usually not my cooking skills, just bad luck! I've had the oven quit working, sometimes I don't hear the timer when it goes off, or I drop something in the dish and ruin it. Once I made a cake when my inlaws were coming and my mother-in-law bit down on something hard. We discovered it was a piece of the Rubbermaid container (that held my flour). I knew it had fallen off, but why in the heck did my mother-in-law have to find it in her piece of cake???? Last time they were here, I dropped a drinking glass and the pieces of glass went all over the counter. I didn't know whether to throw everything out or serve it as it was. Thank goodness we didn't find any pieces of glass in the food! Am I the only Klutz in the Kitchen?

I must admit, I am terrible every now and then with new meals. But you take the cake when it comes to accidents in the kitchen, BL.
Nothing worse than your mother IN LAW finding the problem too, because they never seem to forget about what you just about made her eat. And then they wonder what you are feeding their son when they are not around. LOL
Atleast that is my mother in law in a nut shell.
Sooner or later, you will get better luck in the kitchen though. According to your luncheon post, maybe it has started

Sounds like an enjoyable time! Congratulations on your success. I find it amazing that most people connect 'special diets' with bland taste.
My daughter follows a very strict gluten-free diet for Celiac Disease and we've been able to be very creative for her sake. Something that is NOT easy to do for a young girl, but with the right attitude and the will to make it work, it can be a positive change!
Again, congrats...

Lana... As I sit here reading your post I'm giggling about a 'fond' memory I share with my Mom 'in-law'. It also involves a food-mishap...
Upon my first meeting with my 'future' Mother-in-law, I served coffee & freshly baked banana muffins. Unfortunately the 'creamer' I offered her happened to be 'parmesan cheese'. Aaak! So she never passes up the opportunity to needle me on that one & we all get a good laugh out of it!
Aren't in-laws grand?
