Hi Dale,

 RH> either the little tanks or the big ones; if you have a T stand, we can
 RH> hook into that (it comes off a big tank and has several outlets with
 RH> hoses for several appliances).  We'd put our lantern on top and run
 RH> our stove & a friends' while camping in Switzerland.  I don't think we
 RH> have our T any more tho.

 DS>   I had never heard of a T stand and don't have one.  But, the 1-lb
 DS> tanks   should work for you equally well.

Yes, they should.  I don't think we have our T stand any more as the
fitting to the tank was for the older ones that were out lawed some
years ago. I should think a new one would be available in a sporting
good store or Wal-Mart.  BTW, we've got our routes all Map Quested and
printed out; Steve's leave is approved and other small odds and ends are
beginning to fall into place for the trip.


 RH> We probably will be staying at Meade so I'll see whatever fruit I can
 RH> get some time on Friday.  It sounds like we'll be visiting various
 RH> places where I can; maybe pick some up Thursday afternoon even. We'll
 RH> determine that as time gets closer.

 DS>   Sounds like a plan.   Sometimes super market peaches are good --
 DS>   sometimes they are as bad as a Florida tomato:-}}   You could buy
 DS> one   and dash out into the parking lot to have a bit to test:-}}
 DS> Berries
 DS>   are usually more acceptable, albeit expensive, in the markets here.

Trouble is, you could get a fantastic test piece of fruit and then not
as good tasting stuff in what you buy.  I'll just play it by ear when we
get there.

 DS>   It is quite possible that one of our "field" trips will be to one of
 DS>   the Korean markets.   They often have pretty good and inexpensive
 DS>   fresh produce.  I think that would be a good source for you.

 RH> Sounds good to me.  I'll probably pick up a disposable foil pan to
 RH> cook it in as well.

 DS>    Not sure if the Korean market had them, but the regular markets
 DS>    certainly do.  If you tell Gail what you need, she probably has a
 DS> pan    that would work for you.  That would save you having to shop

OK, the standard recipe calls for a 9x9 pan; I'd probably go up to a
13x9.  It's my standard size for anything more than a family sized
gathering.


 DS>   I hope Steve is going to survive his exposure to massive amounts of
 DS>   pork being cooked and served:-}}

 RH> He'll survive quite well.  It may be the thing to get him over his
 RH> "phobia" of it. (G)  If not, he can go with alternatives as well; I'm
 RH> hoping for the former rather than the latter.

 DS>   Haven't heard from Dave Drum in a while.  We hope that he and
 DS> Georgia   will be coming.  He might make some of his chili for the
 DS> group.  That   would be beef.  Gail is doing Cajun meatballs (a take
 DS> off on the Cajun   Meatloaf we make sometimes).   It has a mix of
 DS> ground beef and ground   pork in it.


Dave's chili does sound good; he sent me some of his home made chili
powder when we were in AZ. It was so much better than what's available
in stores; I hope he does come.  The Cajun meat balls sound interesting
and a better alternative than meat loaf for a gathering like this. If
we don't tell Steve it has pork in it, he won't be the wiser. (G)

Now that's a different twist!
