    After some challenges and some help from a couple of Tiny's BBS folks, I
    think I am now able to interact with "the cooking echo."

    To those of you who were so very recently gathered in Bloomfield, NY,
    hello. I am still thinking about home made sweet and savory rolls,
    German potato salad, meat cake, pastrami, yum-yum, cranberry chutney on
    cheese crisps, raspberry sake, and 90 proof bourbon.

    And the generosity and creativity of those who shared such tasty things.

    I essentially went on a four-day food bender--which I probably won't be
    able to do again in my life--and the hangover is some permanent and
    wonderful memories.

    To those of you who were not very recently gathered in Bloomfield, NY,
    hello.

    My name is Edith McKlveen, a friend of Nancy Backus and her husband
    Richard. I have known them for more than thirty years. True friends and
    fine foodies is an understatement of who they are. Nancy suggested I
    come to the "cooking echo picnic," and that was just a bit life-changing.
    :-)

    I am pretty much Northern European in background--English, French,
    German, and Scotch-Irish--but raised by my parents according to Christian principles to embrace people as people and see all sorts of life
    experiences as gifts from God, including the ingesting of good food.

    I do beef stew, potato salad, and cookies with some confidence. I want
    to learn to make breakfast sausage from scratch. I have food
    sensitivities which make me sad (wheat, corn, milk, alcohol), but am occasionally willing to suffer the consequences if there is a tasty
    enough reason to do so.

    I am looking forward to adventures in the cooking echo.

    Great! Glad that you got connected, and are now able to join in.
    Thanks for the personal history below.

    I do beef stew, potato salad, and cookies with some confidence. I
    want to learn to make breakfast sausage from scratch. I have food sensitivities which make me sad (wheat, corn, milk, alcohol), but am occasionally willing to suffer the consequences if there is a tasty
    enough reason to do so.

    As you might have heard, some of your sensitivities are shared by others
    who were there. Milk and other dairy require Michael to consume an
    appropriate number of pills. Stephen cannot have corn. Nancy cannot
    have apple (but you certainly knew that for years). Gail and I can
    pretty much tolerate most foods, but do have our special likes, and some dislikes.

    Welcome aboard! I'm Sean Dennis and a long-time denizen of the COOKING echo. I've known Nancy for many years--for at least a decade if not much longer--as a user of my BBS. I was supposed to be at the picnic this year but my work had other plans for me.

    I live in northeast Tennessee. I work for a French-Canadian food company and am their sole IT technician for four factories in the US; two located in Tennessee (my "home" factories; they are across the street from each other), one in Williamsport, PA, and the last one in Phoenix, Arizona.

    I'm a type 2 diabetic and am constantly working on keeping things under control.

    I don't participate a lot in here due to work but I do pop in from time to time.

    Glad to see you in the echo. :)

    Later,
    Sean

    It was a distinct pleasure to meet everyone who came to the cooking
    echo picnic. Eating, talking, laughing, and feeling as if new
    acquaintances were old friends . . .

    Ecclesiastes is right about the God-given pleasure of such simple
    activities.
