That sounds like very good news. I guess that makes the picnic and date official. September 7 to 9, Bloomfield NY, which I make as being about 25 miles/35 minutes from Newark.
Yep, so ordered.
(deep breath) OK... ;)
What's that deep breath for? If the
prep work is that hard, you can count
on help, if you ask for it.
How many people can she put up?
Good question, and what are recommended hotels nearby?
(If necessary, question for Nancy).
As I told Dale, I'll get a better answer from her soon... As to hotels
if needed.... There are places in either Victor or Canandaigua... My
brother has stayed at something Garden Suites in Victor... I think he's diamond in the same set of hotels as you frequent and have status...
Homewood? The Garden Inn is cheaper; the Hampton
almost reasonably priced (151++ a night).
... The art of living well: make good use of garlic.
Or cinnamon, which might improve the following
as well.

Title: Svingi (Batter Puffs with Honey and Cinnamon)
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Yield: 28 servings
Karen Mintzias 1 c All-purpose flour
1 c Boiling water 1 ts Baking powder
4 tb Butter or margarine 4 Eggs
1/4 ts Salt Olive or other
vegetable oil
1 tb Granulated sugar Honey; warmed
1/2 ts Grated orange rind Ground cinnamon
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the boiling water, butter, salt,
sugar,
and orange rind. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, sift together the flour
and
baking powder. Add the dry ingredients all at once to the hot mixture,
beating hard with a wooden spoon over medium heat until the mixture forms
a
compact mass and leaves the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat and
let
cool for 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating hard after each
addition; the mixture should be smooth, glossy, and thick. Heat the oil
(which should be 2-1/2 to 3 inches deep) almost to the smoking point,
then
drop the batter by tablespoons into the oil, without crowding, to form
puffs. When the puffs surface, turn them to fry on all sides, using
tongs,
then lift them out, drain off excess oil on absorbent paper. Place on
warm
platter and keep warm. If using the syrup, boil the syrup ingedients for
5
minutes; spoon the syrup, or warm honey, over the puffs, sprinkle with
cinnamon, and serve hot.
