Hello All,

This is Katherine Barto. We had a great time,
even though some people said they would come and didn't.
So of course we had way too much food, oh dear.

Now I finally figured out why so many others
have been hosts: tons of food left here! We ate so much
last night that for dinner we are going to have some of
Christine's Corfu style roasted vegies and bread for the
sopping of the wonderful juices. Oh yeah, and some wine.

I want to thank the Academy, no...no... that is
a different speach. I want to thank everyone who came.
Especially Koko, the B-day girl, who cleaned the kichen.
I kept telling her that David is trained to do that.

Christine spent at least two hours working on
three fantastic vegie dishes. There are left over squash
blossoms and filling too. We will probably cook those up
tonight too. She stopped by our Farmer's market about
a mile down our street and was inspired.

Jamie was a gem of course and took care of the
drawing for charity. Charliam, Koko and I, ha,ha, all
won great food and or wines. Our basket was loaded up
by Mimi Hiller. She is a very classy lady, and knows
everything about cook-ins.

One more thing-someone left a light blue sweatshirt
outside. All in all I think everyone had a good time and
we look forward to hosting again in early June. Koko will
be posting the food list and who brought what.

Debbie and Peter MacLeod know all about the
child labor laws. Son, Stuart, makes sushi, and daughter,
Catherine helped Jamie, by selling tickets. (We had
three "Katherines at the cook-in!)


Thank you everyone! and please come back for
the spring wild flowers.

I can't see how there could be much of Christine's veggies left - I ate so
very much of it!

It was great to see Mimi again. I was too long between times!

We hope that many of you will start planning on attending a late Spring
Cook-In here in Sandy Eggo in 2004!

Yes, indeed!

Debbie Mcleod and I discovered that one of our favorite cookbooks, is
Richard Olney's book, Lulu's Provencal Kitchen. Somehow in talking
about it, we decided it would be fun to make Bouillabaisse along with
it's attendant rouille at the cook-in in 2004, Or at least a
reasonable facsimile, since many people seem to think that a
bouillabaisse cannot be made in this country or outside of the region
it was born in. So, as of this moment, we are planning as our
contribution, a kettle of bouillabaisse or it's facsimile.

Debbie, I had another idea too, if you are reading this. I was just
looking at the book again, and one of the dishes that also intrigues
me, and would also be good for a party is a Grand Aioli. It will be
just about time for the new garlic to come in at that time, so it
would be very appropriate as well. If that idea of bouillabaisse
doesn't come together, maybe we could consider this?

"Chez Panisse Cooking" has instructions for a "fish soup in the style
of a bouillabaisse." Either we can make that, or we can have the
cook-in in Bandol.

Sounds great! I've made that particular Grand Aioli (complete with
stewed octopus) for a friend from Menton who loved it. The garlic in
my garden should be just about ready by mid-June...

Nope.

Ironic that I posted the question today -- in today's mail I received a
postcard from Kay and Jack. I'd forgotten their trip to Africa!
(They're having/had a wonderful time.)

I got a post card too...They got home I **think** last Friday. I'm
going to call them tonight to find out about the trip.

No, unfortunately, I had made a commitment for that day long before
the cookin was set up and couldn't weasel out of it

I talked to Jamie and explained it to her, and I hope she explained to
Charlie...because it just killed me to miss seeing him again, and all
the other folks.

She did and I missed you Debra. I'm looking forward to next time!

Great people + great food = great time. Thank you all, with a special
thanks to Charlie for bringing the SD Cook-In to my attention and to
David and Katherine for being such great hosts.
