Personal Notes:
For many years I was part of "the Running Group" in Craig. A group of ladies met once a week to run 3 miles together and then celebrate the accomplishment by having a beer and dinner at one of the members' homes. It was a great time to socialize, relax, and build friendships. This recipe was served at Kim Crisp's home.
