I was able to get all of the shapes cut out.

Bonnie made some fabulous roasted vegetables (vegees at lunch???!!??). People said Gerre&#8217;s scalloped potatoes were good. They had flour so I couldn&#8217;t try them. They make me want to try making them. I love scalloped potatoes and usually can&#8217;t eat them.<\/p>\n<p>Sue brought a baked Brie, for which she bought special gluten free crackers. She realized that I couldn&#8217;t eat the baked Brie because of the pastry. We had a good laugh.
