Another short but successful Forum Friends Get Together

16 years ago

I just returned from lunch with cookebook (Kyle) and sweeby (Susan). It was just a "quickie" as we all had to get back to work but as usual, we all clicked immediately and were chatting like old friends.

Actually, Susan is already a friend as I met her for the first time several years ago and we get together fairly regularly. Kyle and I got there first and jumped right in gossiping about all the CFers and the current threads. The three of us pretty much talked non stop till we had to tear ourselves away to get back to the grind. :)

We met at El Tiempo (Cathy, Peppi and Sherry might remember this restaurant as we went there when they came to visit Karen a few years back). You know the food there is wonderful.

Of course none of us thought to bring a camera! Sorry! However, Kyle took a picture with his cell phone and has emailed it to us so Susan or I will post it asap.

It was great meeting Kyle and seeing Susan. I look forward to seeing y'all again!!

May

Karen , Sharon what a great job! I loved everyone of the pics. Such memories.....not just of get togethers but of the people who have shared so much of themselves ,on this forum, over the years. I miss so many of those folk. Runs in my mind Gina had a slide show too...Gina? Baby pictures were so much fun but whoever has the baby pics, don't post the names! See who can figure it out. Woodie knows which one I am..... something to do with a long forgotten shampoo! LOL Thanks again Karen and Sharon, this was so much fun....and thank you GW. If not for you our paths would likely not have crossed.

What a wonderful weekend I had in MI! Cathy and I told Sherry not to go to any trouble, just toss some clean sheet on the bed. Beds were made nice and comfy, but the food! Cherry pie, rhubarb pie, carrot cake, Kalhua chocolate mousse cake, pecan cinnamon rolls, molasses cookies, chicken salad, quiche, pizza, brats, breakfast soufflé, lemon ricotta pancakes with raspberry syrup. I gained 5 pounds just typing this. We had nice long visits, great times shopping, relaxing and playing with Dexter, the snuggledog. And dear, sweet Roger, he is a trooper. Wise man that he is would just roll his eyes and go with the flow. It was so good to see Annie and Elery again. And Annie surprised us with the new 100th Anniversary Edition of the Ball Blue book. That is one hard to find book. Thanks again Annie for keeping us safe when canning. I wholeheartedly second Sherrys statement. Meet CFers when and where you can. You will not regret it Peppi And I did like the chocolate cover bacon. Sort of a sweet/salty/crunchy thing with the little bits of bacon. Not sure I would go out of my way for it, but not offensive either.

Linda - glad you liked the Cherokee Purple. And too bad you don't live closer. I picked another 36 today. They are going to a friend's house for a party she is having tomorrow nite. I've never had any luck with heirloom tomatoes; they just do not perform well for me. Cherokee Purple is beyond prolific. I have 3 plants that are loaded with tomatoes and bending my heavy duty cages to the ground. You said you think the tomato I gave you is huge????? That was about a 6 on a scale of 10. My largest so far has been 3lbs. 9oz. Being that you are so fond of Annie's Salsa you probably won't want to use the dry seasoning I gave you for more salsa. It goes well in sour cream, and works well as a fajita marinade. I have also sprinkled a little into corn chowder as well as cheddar corn bread. You can tell by looking at the bag that there are no binding ingredients so the mix seperates. Mix it up well before using.

For the short time I was there, I had a great time with sisters. Annies sauerbraten was dead on and even Emma loved it. And the corned beef hash for breakfast with some wonderful muffins really hit the spot before we had to leave. As most of you know, Dad has dementia and sort of freaked on on me and wanted to go home to his own environment. We drove home through rain, sunshine, more rain with a rainbow and some sleet! Emma had a blast, playing with Molly and making a new BFF in Spark. Shocked me as she never seemed to take to cats, but this guy is so loving and laid back. He had no fear of Emma and I think that did the trick. The two playing had us laughing repeatedly. That boy is always welcome here. I have has a few says to get Emma back into her regular food as Annie spoils her. She sure loved the saurebraten and hash! And let's not forget the chicken treats! I am so sad that I missed the balance of the weekend. I have missed my sisters and brother Elery. He fits right in with us crazy females. Isla, some day I will take you up on the offer. Dcarch, wait till those anthropologist find out that we referred to each other as potential ax murderers. Lars, a Black Forest torte without the Kirschwasser is just chocolate cake with cherry pie filling. Sharon, you will not suffer in all this cooking of great foods. Annie, not last, thank you for everything. You fill my heart.

Another???? Did I miss one??

Hey May! Susan I remember you too from other gatherings from years past. Kyle, nice to "meet" you too. Sounds like a great lunch. I remember pics of that place from a couple of years ago. I was suppose to be there but had to cancel thanks to the big ice storm and my DN's medical challenges at the time.
