What a wonderful picture! I'm so bummed I wasn't able to come. So
who are all of these glorious people? I recognize Christine and Koko
but no one else.

TammyM, eagerly awaiting the reports AND recipes!

Some of them are my friends who live here in town... Third from the
left, is Patricia Hill, moderator of rec.food.recipes. The three
foodie and singing hunks are in the background...have you been
following along? Edrena Jones is in the red.... The older gentleman
is Koko's husband.

You must not have been reading all the reports...LOL.

I have been nibbling on leftovers all day long. Edrena left some of
her goodies here, and I am addicted to her bread and butter pickles. I
hope she sends me some more.... Hint, hint....

I have photos up on webshots now... Haven't taken time to label all of
them yet, and I need to move some of them around so they are in order.
But at least you can get a feel for the party.

company and food!

I really don't remember. It was way, way before I ever met her.. I
know she told me years ago...but damned if I can remember. I think
she got it when she was a young child.

I am still staring at tons of leftover food in the fridge.

I have found stuff left here, that I am not sure was intended to be
left here. Koko, did you know that you left a quarter box of dates?
That's a lot of dates!!!! I might have to stuff them.....what a
hardship...NOT!!!!

And Edrena, you left your chorizo that you got from the Spanish Table.
I would freeze it, if it freezes successfully. Anyone know?

The pickles are rapidly disappearing. Totally addictive!!! I want
some more!

I still have okra to fry: I had intended to fry that lovely okra for
the cook-in, but it just went by the wayside. It's a good excuse to
fix aioli....

All the chorizo I've ever purchased has frozen successfully. You're
not depending on the moisture content like you do with steak.

This isn't Mexican style chorizo, but the dried Spanish style. Very
different.

I've frozen dried salami successfully.... still don't think it would
be a problem.

There you go, mean again. You promised me aioli, and you never did. I cried
in Belen when I remembered the chorizo. Freeze it for me. Owl be bahk!
I think I left my leetle coffee thermos, too. Or else it's lost in the
van. See I tole you I wanted to move to New Mexico, I just got started a
little early.

Pffft, come to my place, Edrena.... I'll make you aioli, and if you
want a "variation", just let me know. Your wish will be my command.

who hasn't called Edrena a scullery maid (yet)

Dates keep very well. Just put them up in ziploc bags and stick them
in the pantry.

And Edrena, you left your chorizo that you got from the Spanish Table.

Yes, chorizo freezes very well. I think Edrena needs to come back up
when the hunk...I mean young men come back to cook with you.

The pickles are rapidly disappearing. Totally addictive!!! I want

A lot went by the wayside but that's the nature of the beast. Did you
put the rack of lamb in the freezer? I hope so.

Thanks again Christine for your generosity and hospitality.
I wish I could remember the lyrics to the song "Your'e the tops,
Your're the .....?" because you are.
