I don't know if someone already wrote this -- all my messages before Nov are
gone from the news server, but I just got "Delights and Predjudices," James
Beard's book about the food his mother cooked in her boarding house in
Portland. His stories are amazing - imagine James Beard describing with
reverence his mother's cooking. The pacific northwest is / was such a fount
of great natural food resources too. Fun stuff. Bring a snack.
