 ML>> Pork fu, sometimes called pork floss, from Formosa Foods
 NB>> I am going to have to look for it at our Asian markets... you
 NB>> mentioned that one could use it as a topper for congee, and I can
 NB>> certainly see that, and want to try that sometime...  :)
 ML> I forget if I said this before, but there's also pork fu,

You mean pork soong...?   Yes, you mentioned that, both at the picnic
and in the report...  :)

 ML> are interchangeable, but one might be better for a particular
 ML> use than another.

Would you likely suggest the pork soong for congee topping, then...?
 
 ML>> Price Chopper root beer - I couldn't pass this up at 88c
 NB>> It wasn't that bad... but it also wasn't that good... I know now
 NB>> definitely not to get it...  :)
 ML> Unless it's 88c again.

Even at 88c... ;)   When I can get a 12pack of Cherry Coke for $2.50 (on
sale, granted), the cans are about 20c each which isn't much more for
way better.... :)  And occasionally, the sales are even better... ;)
 
 ML>> Linda made us a quiche in return for the time we'd fed her -
 ML>> ham and cheese with cherry tomatoes and basil from the yard.
 NB>> She said that's her favorite quiche (even though she generally doesn't
 NB>> like meat)... She just chops up the ham, puts it in the pan, layers
 NB>> the cheese on it, and then the rest of the ingredients... :)
 ML> Ease is a good thing, and pork is the favorite vegetable of
 ML> several of us.

And I think perhaps, in at least some settings, Linda agrees... like in
this quiche of hers... ;)
 
 ML>> I'd got a can of sapota in syrup to taste, but we never got a
 ML>> round to it, the snacks from H Mart and various cookies and
 ML>> things tiding us over nicely.
 NB>> That did look interesting... another time, maybe...  :)
 ML> That one I know is in the Shipps' safekeeping.

Good.  :)

 NB>> What happened to the pork fu...?  I remember that you took that
 NB>> too... That should keep until you make it back to Shipps, though,
 NB>> I'd think... 
 ML> I think I probably took it back to the house, but I don't
 ML> recall what I did with it. It's not in my carryon (which
 ML> is grossly overweight now, though I have bought nothing)
 ML> - people have left me with food and such.

If it's at the house, is Jonathan likely to eat it...?  I trust that
your abundance in the carryon is all good stuff...  :)

 ML>> Mostly. That would involve cross-members doing the initial
 ML>> contact. Also more rules at the events, mostly involving money.
 ML>> Also the willingness on the part of the organizers to deal with
 ML>> the occasional (if a good fit as you say, rare) deadbeat or
 ML>> obstreperous person. If it seemed we need to do something like
 ML>> this, I'd put it to a vote of the incumbents first.
 NB>> It might work if the host was a member of both/all groups, and willing
 NB>> to take responsibility for those added from the alternate groups... :)
 ML> If the ones who are also members of other groups want to
 ML> take the responsibilities and headaches, that's fine. I
 ML> must say, however, that if we have a picnic at Annie's,
 ML> it will be limited to longtime members, preferably
 ML> participants in previous picnics (Sean has expressed
 ML> interest, and we'd make an exception for him).

That makes perfect sense to me... Especially since one wouldn't want to
bring in unknown quantities when somewhat imposing on the hospitality of
a friend of the echo...  :)  Are there any others now posting in the
echo that have never been to a picnic, but might eventually make it to
one...? 

ttyl        neb

... Time sure flies...no matter what you're doing.
