Jan's Party recipes prove to be 'big hit' BY PAULINE LEWIS Staff Writer Approximately forty ladies enjoyed a lovely luncheon Friday at the King’s Crest home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Kerce. Each guest was given a lei as she arrived. The home was tastefully decorated with a variety of arrangements. The party table’s centerpiece was a real watermelon cut to resemble a unique flower container, which held beautiful summer flowers. An assortment of salads, vegetables and fruits, surrounded the centerpiece. Miniature biscuits, muffins, several delicious cakes, coffee, tea and soft drinks were served from the side table. The hostess had prepared all of the food herself, except the miniature biscuits, which a friend, Nell Shelton, had prepared. So many of the guests requested copies of the recipes Jan used, she finally agreed to let me run them in the Houston Times-Journal so that all of the ladies could get copies. They are listed below: Jan Kerce, formerly of Tallahassee, Fla., is a member of the faculty at Westfield Schools. Her young daughter, Suzanne Rowe, resides with her and her husband.
