Hey, Guido! Do you attend the Twin Cities area hotlucks? I haven't heard of any for a while...maybe the one that used to be in Little Falls. Renee Watson, also a lost member (are you lurking, Renee?) did herself proud a couple years ago with the Midwest Hotluck in Minnihaha Park in Minneapolis. Even Green attended! That's a major accomplishment and I miss her caustic remarks too. It's about time for another hotluck up there, when the heat breaks, like in the fall. Are you game? I'm sure Renee would help and a lot of us would attend and Jim C. might be prevailed upon to send a bottle of yummy stuff! When I first joined the list there were hotlucks all over...and was envious and had the first Midwest gathering in my little town in Iowa. We had only a few attendees but the food was wonderful. I actually saw a man's glasses fog up when he ate a piece of The Bread with some of Tom Price's salsa (sent as a generous offering but he didn't attend). That bread is legandary! What's happened to all the hotlucks? I've seen postings of two or three this year; there used to be a dozen. SandyO CH #1146, of that I'm sure but little else.
