We as usual, had way too much fun, and someone was mean to someone
else, we had too much to eat, too much to drink, even a snake showed
up. All the signs of a successful cookin'

I was surprised and pleased to see a Happy Birthday Koko sign and big
balloon, thank you so much.

My wish is that everyone on rfc have the chance to participate in a
cookin'. This was my fourth, I have met and cooked with some of the
nicest people you'd ever want to meet.
