    Hi Marilyn!  Count me in too!
    
    Barbara

    What I thought we could do is meet someplace that is convenient for all
    and either exchange recipes - perhaps arrange a big get together where
    we could kind of have a cook-off.  Each person bringing a
    dish/speciality etc.!
    
    Obviously we could get to meet one anther and take it from there.  Like
    I said, any suggestions are welcome.
    
    Want to meet the end of June - or middle of July?  I know vacations are
    a factor here - but the earlier we meet then we can plan something for
    the Fall/holiday season.

    Sounds like fun... let me know the where, when, what-am-I-to-bring,
    etc.  We could even plan for far out (Labor Day) and have it (the
    holiday) be a theme...?

    How nice of you to offer your place!  Sounds good to me...now all we
    have to do is figure out the date and time.  I have a couple of people
    that sent me notes offline that want to be included.  I will keep track
    of that list.
    
    One thing we should establish (this could be touchy) do we make it just
    us (as in DEC employees) or 'us' and husbands/wives/significant others,
    and/or include children.  Seeing as it is YOUR place - why don't you
    set the parameters.  Also we should decide as to whether or not we will
    barbeque.  Don't want to make this so extravagant that you'll want to
    back out.....   ;^)
    
    We can all bring 'our' special dish and divey up the soda, paper
    plates, cups, silverware, napkins, tableclothes...etc!
    
    Why don't I start by offering to bring the chinet plates and paper
    cups.  Now I have to decide on what to bring.  If you want - I can also
    keep track of the menu.
    
    Thanks for offering!

    Just thought of something else.
    
    I know quite a few people who do not necessarily cook a lot (or are
    beginners and don't have a 'specialty') but read this notesfile.
    I don't want anyone to think that they couldn't attend this event
    because they can't cook.
    
    So, they could bring soda, napkins, etc. and we can all sample food,
    exchange recipes, meet one another and have a swell time.
    
    As I said in the basenote - any suggestions are welcome.

    Sounds like fun.  Count me in.  Either desert or main dish is ok by
    me.  I love to find guinea pigs for my experiments :-)

    I'd love to attend If the date fits my schedule. I'll bring my pasta
    salad. Yummyyummyyummy.

Just checked into this notes file and read your note about getting 
together.    I wondered what the purpose was, i.e. I get together with
a friend once a month and we show each other how to cook a particular 
food or ethnic food group, that we know the other doesn't know.    
We have had a lot of people who have been interested to participate, 
because they could not cook.
    
If this is your intent you need a fairly large kitchen, and good
organization, because the more that attend, the more it can get
out of hand.

Drop me a line or give me a call....223-6639.    I have been considering
offering the classess but my kitchen is very small,i.e. a gallary kitchen.

I live in Groton, MA.    My specialities are Indian, Thai, Mexican...
I'm also trying to specialize in quick meals for during the week.

    Count me in!!!  This sounds like fun!
