sorry guys if i repeated some of them, there were so many you get a little lost writing them down. Hope this helps the projects, or at least offers you something later before we give all of the packets away. Also, bob's potato salad recipe wasn't copied down in my notes because of time, so if someone has that just add it to it, or post it separately or something.
