Welcome aboard.  We are a pretty talkative bunch so don't be getting
disappointed that there is chit-chat and so forth on this list.  We get
about the business of food in serious fashion.  If you ever want to get the
group back on track of food, just ask a question or something.  It will sure
enough bring our heads round to a food topic.  Some folks who join this list
are overwhelmed by the volume.  Some just get mad because there is not
strictly food talk.  As you stay with us, you will find that over time many
of us have forged a friendship and a kind of extended family so sometimes
that is the part we are talking about.
So.  Do you like marzipan?
Say, has anyone told all these new folks about the cookie exchange.  Or
should I just have towels thrown at me and shooed out of the room?
Olwen
