Hi Frogleg,

I'm not sure where nowhere.com is, but do come on over
if you can. Lots of great food by absolutely fantastic cooks.
Jamie is the best icecream maker in the world, and she is a great
drink mixer. Good fruity taste, oh the drinks, not Jamie. We would
have to ask Brian about that. (her hubby)

I still have tons of cleaning to do... but I have decided
to do the maple scallops again, because they are so easy and
Charliam seemed to like them. Kind of a late B-day gift for
him. On June 4, we had our 22nd anniversary and The 6th
is David's brother's b-day too.

We will be doing photos again. We have them on our website
because I didn't know where to post them.

Enjoy, and come to the cook-in!

Katherine, why in the world would you *clean* before we get there? We
make a wreck of your place - cleaning should be done afterwards and by
*us*!!

Am anxiously awaiting my shipment of Prague Powder No. 1 so I can take
my maiden voyage making beef jerky in the new dehydrator. If it
doesn't turn out well, I'll swear I never got the powder <g> Also
thinkin' about a pork satay I haven't made in a while...

Terry, sometimes there are dead elephants that
just have to be removed. In other words, piles of newspapers
and books and similar clutter that have to be shifted to
make room for people to walk around the house. And cat fur!

Our three furry children will be in the utility
room, but we don't need the reminder dust-kitties around
the rest of the house.

You may think I am really crazy, but we are also
having the June meeting of our native plant club here
the Monday before.

We were also hoping to have the living room
furniture recovered, but have been too busy. For example,
locked myself out of the house, and used a hachet to get
in. :-( Some days are not easy. Same day I fell on the
garden stairs and got both knees. The fibro pain increased
for a couple weeks. aaugh...

I'm going on way too much..breathe slowly and
deaply...

Katherine, dear girl, if anyone notices a dust bunny by a bookcase, a
water drool on a bathroom sink, a smudge on a kitchen window, a layer
of dust in a little used corner or a drunken RFCer propped up on the
patio, he or she will be summarily evicted b/c she or he is not Our
Type! You two are the best and your hospitality nonpareil. Thank you
for hosting our June Cookin once again.

I agree! If I tried to clean my place up I'd need to use a backhoe to start
with. I just hope you are feeling well enough to cope with us! I'll try to
behave myself.

Note to Terry: I'll be propped up in the breezeway not the patio.

Well, I did spend a moment or two flat on the ground after I fell on my ass.
It was a party trick though and had nothing at all to do with the amount of
beer and mixed drinks I had.

I knew that, and in no way did I ever suspect alcohol OR foul play.

I thought everyone there were fine gentle people. Still trying to make
it, but the jury is out. Multiple conflicts, enough so, that if I come,
it will be with beer in hand, not food as cooking time will be non-existent.

Hey, what kind of coffee brewer will be on hand? Drip? Perhaps I can
roast a pound of Kona and bring it. I've some Smith Farms green on hand.

Haa! But of course Jim.

As always, cooking or bringing food isn't important. Bring some beer or wine
if you like. A beer or other drink in hand is of utmost importance.

Drip I think. Coffee is always welcome.

Hiho Jim,

Yeah, Charlie is always on his toes! We do have a drip
coffee maker- 12 cup Krups. Please do come, even to just eat for
a bit and say hello.

I am just hoping for cooler weather now.
