Actually, it was the brains- I wasn't equipped with
testicles, although Ras was. I was equipped with
brains.

I knew it was made by someone I liked- just couldn't
remember who.

Well the idea is NOT to intimidate anyone, the idea is
to get to meet everyone, and share good food. Any
tasty contribution is welcome- I particularly enjoyed
the stuffed grape leaves, canned, that Margali had
left behind for the potluck, when she couldn't be
there last year.

We really need to start planning for it this year,
folks. Are we getting an A & S tent? Or shall we do it
at Orluk? Whjich day? Who will bring paperware? Like
that....
