On the day I'm typing this, I had an American waffle
with Belgian chocolate on top for breakfast.

Sounds good; I've given up on waffles and pancakes--too tempting to
drench them in high sugar toppings (maple syrup, chocolate, etc) that
are not good for me.

Of course, but you could have done like me and spread
dark chocolate, rather than syrup, over. The carbs in
the waffle itself are problematic, but I made me a
thin one, compromising between they're bad for me and
"when in Belgium you have to have a waffle."

For sure.

And I'm not holding my breath on the possibility of it showing up

again.
It's ceased to be our concern.

Agreed, and at this point, is it really worth starting another
"tradition"?

Planning a tradition is kind of silly, though some
"first annual" events actually get repeated.

I think most days my calorie count is below 2000 for 3 meals. Adding

ice > cream as a post supper treat will put it above that, but not by
a huge > amount.
For most people who don't have major exertions,
especially smaller ones, 2000 is an oversufficiency.

Quite so.

I don't particularly want to, and there's no
necessity yet.

Good enough reasoning.

The kicker would be if I run out of dough and brain
cells at the same time.

Good timing?

Someone's tagline goes something like "the winner
is the one who dies with the smallest bank balance."

We did get up into the 90s for a few days. Not like
the 100+ of a couple weeks ago.

We've been upper 80s/low 90s, lower humidity but still will be nice when
the heat of the summer backs off.

When we hit Washington, it was in the 90 range,
but Boston was only mid-80s.

When going to my quartet sessions in Oceanside or wherever
it is, Lilli's GPSes both take us to a closed gate, but
we've learned how to get around the issue if not the gate.

As I said, we addle its little pea brain at times. (G)

Or it ours.

We usually have a pretty good idea of where we want to go, just need the
GPS for pinpointing directions for the most part.

One can use Tom-Tom, which often tells you to turn
after you've passed the intersection.

Carp Gefilte Fish

I saw a lot of this the summer I worked at a Jewish camp.

Undoubtedly, but though it may at one time have been a
source of cheap protein, it isn't any more.

Probably not missed by most people anyway, except maybe the

latest ML> > generations.

I'm kind of fond of it, and I was never even Jewish.

I'll leave it for the real connisoures.

The ones who are sour, anyway.

Speaking of something that once was a (relatively)
cheap source of protein but is now a luxury item -
Pepper Short Ribs

Looks good, have to get some more wine tho.

Ah, there are possible substitutes for that one, juices
and such.

Stock? Beef, pork or chicken?

More like balsamic mixed with fruit juice. Stock
maybe, but that misses the point of the dish. And
pork stock severely misses the point.

No, just give me the (dark) chocolate and I'll be happy.

Planning a tradition is kind of silly, though some

And probably many more never make it to the second annual. The picnic
has changed over the years, but keeping the word "picnic" in the
description still honors the original gathering.

The kicker would be if I run out of dough and brain
cells at the same time.

Someone's tagline goes something like "the winner

I've seen other lines with "the winner is..........." but the upshot is,
you still die.

When we hit Washington, it was in the 90 range,
but Boston was only mid-80s.

We've been upper 80s/low 90s the past few days with afternoon or evening thunderstorms. Should be cooler tho, next month for the picnic.

Planning a tradition is kind of silly, though some
"first annual" events actually get repeated.

And probably many more never make it to the second annual. The picnic
has changed over the years, but keeping the word "picnic" in the description still honors the original gathering.

True for both statements. We once went to a picnic in Seatle hosted by
a previous moderator, Joann Pierce. She was well known for being a bit
terse and rigid in her moderator style. As to the picnic, it was
"picnic will be at <some park, I forget>, starting at 2pm and ending at
7pm." (I'm guessing at the times, but you get the point). There was no consideration about getting together either before or after.

The first picnic we went to was in Colt's Neck, NJ and was hosted by Pat Stockett. She was a nice person, but only a small group where invited to
hang out with her at her mother's house. There we used crab necks to
fish for crabs, many of the ones we kept were half the size of a legal
crab in Maryland (5 inch point to point). Pat wanted to toss the very
babies back in to let them grow up, but Jim Bodle insisted that we toss
them into the cook pot. Pat became a co-moderator the year after that.

The next picnic was the one we co-sponsered near Columbia at Helen's
church. It had more than a hundred people at it in 100 degree weather.
One of Carol Bryant's sons took a chop on a habenero -- and then
disappeared into the woods for the next 30 minutes. Gail and I joined
the moderator team the next year.

BTW, I don't know if I have said so here but our dear Irish friend Helen
died about a year ago.

I recall when we went to the picnic hosted by the Fords in Newark NY, I
freaked out Burton by telling him about the relationship between hosting
a picnic and becoming a moderator.

You could probably adapt this recipe using a fresh bread dough of your
own liking.

Hi Dale,

at 7pm." (I'm guessing at the times, but you get the point). There
was no consideration about getting together either before or after.

Just part of a one day event, really only practical for those who either
live in the area or happen to be in the area.

The first picnic we went to was in Colt's Neck, NJ and was hosted by
Pat Stockett. She was a nice person, but only a small group where
invited to hang out with her at her mother's house. There we used

That sounds like a lot more fun, but again, rather limited.

One of Carol Bryant's sons took a chop on a habenero -- and then disappeared into the woods for the next 30 minutes. Gail and I joined

I remember reading about that one while we were in AZ.

Sorry to hear that, she was a sweet lady.

What I can say is that every moderator has hosted a picnic, perhaps long
before they became moderator. SO, that puts you in the running -- and
soon to be Ruth. Still, not a rule though.


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Rolled Calzones
Categories: Italian, Sandwich, Pizza, Yeast, Bread
Yield: 1 servings

-For the Pizza Dough
1/4 oz Active dry yeast
1 1/4 c Warm water
1/2 c Olive oil
4 c Bread flour
1 ts Salt
-chopped fresh rosemary,
-tarragon and oregano
-For the filling
2 oz Pesto
1/4 lb Ham, thinly sliced
1/4 lb Provolone cheese, sliced
1/8 lb Coppacola (spicy italian
-ham) thinly sliced
2 Sweet red peppers, roasted,
-peeled and sliced
2 oz Pepperoncinis, drained and
-chopped (6 - 8)
1 Egg
1 Egg white
-cornmeal

Soften the yeast in the water. Stir in the oil, then the flour and
salt. Shape into a round ball, cover with plastic and refrigerate 1
hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shape the pizza dough into a ball and
then roll out into a large oval shape (about 24 inches long). About
2 inches behind the front edge, spread the pesto in a long stripe,
stopping just short of the ends.

Just behind and overlapping the pesto, place a layer of the ham
slices, then
a layer of cheese then the coppacolla, peppers and pepperoncinis. You
should still have about 2 inches of dough showing at the back edge.

Beat the egg and brush on the back edge and ends of the dough.

Roll up Calzone as firmly as possible (so no air gets inside). Tuck
the ends
in and finish with the back edge on the bottom, not on the side.

Place on a baking sheet pan sprinkled with corn meal, brush with egg
white and bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Cool to room temperature and slice. Can be sliced thin for appetizers

NOTE: To roast peppers, preheat broiler. Slice the peppers in half
up on a flat broiling pan and place the pan 3 - 4 inches below the
heat. Broil the peppers in a plastic bag, seal it with a twist tie
and set aside. Let peppers steam in the bag for 15 minutes. Remove
the peppers from the bag and slip off the charred skins.

Nope -- read the echo rules. I think it says something like the
