Background Story On Full Plate Thursday
When we were young and just starting out in life sometimes we did not have a lot of money. Most of our friends were having to stretch the dollars at the end of the month just like us. My girlfriends and I decided that we would pool our food for some of the evening meals right before payday... the last week of the month. I have some of the fondest memories from those days. We would all bring our food together and we had some great food and great fellowship. We would get the food on the table and everything ready, someone would bless the food and then the hostess would say "come fill your plate".

    Hi Miz Helen,
    Thank you for the party and I have been staying warm in front of my wood burning stove. It has been in the teens here in NY and I can't even get my dog to go for a quick walk.

    Hi Miz Helen,
    That southwest chicken soup looks fantastic. I think we should all have at least one cup of soup every day, especially during these cold winter months.
    Thanks for hosting.
