Maxine and I are cooking up plans for a New England cook-in, and are
wondering how many of you would be interested.
Our location choices are Maxine's house in Cranston, RI, or Felice's
apartment in Boston, and our seasonal choices are winter or spring.

Maxine offers a good-sized yard and plenty of parking in the spring, less
than 1/10 of a mile from the bus stop. She keeps kosher, so food should be
brought prepared, and she keeps a cat who leaves her allergens around.

Felice counters with a location next to the Pru and a short walk from Back
Bay station, with a Shaw's (and its liquor license) on the corner. She has a
small but well-equipped kitchen that will accommodate some prep, and warns
of sometimes pricey city parking.

Before we get too far into this, we'd like to hear from those of you who are
interested as to which location and which season would be more convenient
for you.

Anyone?

Where's more convenient to train from Philly?

Both you'd take to the local city (providence or boston) then take the
local trans (RIPTA or MBTA) to within a block or so of the cook-in.
Providence is closer by maybe 45 minutes.

From Philly, I'd leave on Amtrak. I trained to Boston. Don't recall RI
stops.

Spring would seem better. Better temps, road conditions, casual dress and I
could road trip in a Jag XK-8 (or newer model rental). Could pick up r.f.c
hitchikers waving a bottle of wine, to donate to the cook-in of course.

What do I know? A NE cook-in is news to me. Has one happened?

About 4 years ago, hosted by Jack Schidt in beautiful CT. And yes,
Amtrak does stop in PVD, altho the old station was much cooler than
the new one.

Don't forget the one in Vermont hosted by Siobhan
later that year in October 2002. Jack's was in August
2002.

I might be able to make it. Spring is preferable.
I'd also prefer RI as it's closer. (I'd be driving
from Pittsburgh.) Also, I like cats! Also probably
not the parking problems/expense of Boston.

Felice:
From Back Bay station (Amtrak) to my place is a five-minute walk or a $10
taxi ride. But I'm sure either Maxine or I would be impressed to have you
show up in an XK-8 and lend a touch of class to the event. Your preference
for spring is duly noted.

I believe there have been NE gatherings before, but I've never been to any,
anywhere.

Thanks, Kate. We'll enter you in the "RI" and "spring" columns and keep you

You're figuring I'll pick up some r.f.c hitchikers with wine along the way to
lend that touch of class!?! <VBG>

The operative word here is "wine" but we'd love to see you and the
hitchhikers, too.

Well, heck, I've been to Boston. RI I don't recall except Naragansett??

I'll road trip to RI. However majority rules!

Just kinda/sorta curious, do you Boston and Rhode Island foodies wear aprons
or togas?

I'll want to arrive in fashion naturally.

It does in fact stop at Providence station. The bus terminal is about a
ten minute walk from the train station.

Maxine may offer skinny-dipping. I offer bungee-jumping from a 17th-floor
balcony.

Hmmm, sounds fun. Maybe we could do a bungee apple bob.

And both locations are easy for me to reach, one take a little longer
than the other but I'm familiar with the Back Bay area too. Been awhile
since I rode the T from Providence to Boston, how much is a round trip
now, $14 or so?

That's a long way to the drop if you want a sausage roll.

The T is, I believe, about $15 RT between Providence and Boston; Amtrak is
about $25. So are both locations good for you? How about a seasonal
preference -- apple time?

Count me in at either location, if my schedule allows. Its been a while
since the last time I was anywhere near NE, so it is time to visit again.

You're planning to come for our cook-in? You'll get the prize for

of Del's or a gallon of Autocrat syrup!

And I'd love you to come even if only to look at your hair!

Are you really a book snooper? I think personal libraries are even more
interesting than medicine chests.

Heh, I lived 43 years of my life in NE Ohio at the lapping edges of Lake
Erie. I know from cold, snow, and ice. That's precisely why I finally
settled my butt down in Arizona. :-)

Dunno that I'd ever feel sociable enough to attend, but:

Your place is more convenient.

I'd go for spring--and not the early end of it. You never
