I ran it by her yesterday at church and she thought she'd be available any of the three weekends recently floated... She tended to think the August ones could be preferable, as school would have started in September (and she both tutors some kids and has been homeschooling a youngster from our church with special needs), but that as it's a weekend, it should probably be ok also....

It would be good to get a date selected (any date that is agreeable to
most) so that folks can then make other plans and/or plan for
accommodations.

I move that the picnic should be the
weekend of 9/7 to 9/9. All in favor,
say aye, all opposed, say nay.

Keep working at it. One way or the other, somewhere around the Newark area would be very nice.

I haven't noticed anyone else chiming in that would necessarily prefer this area, although Shawn wouldn't have any trouble coming down from

I seem to recall Michael suggesting that a good while ago, but let him
speak for himself now.

And in the vicinity of Rochester to
Newark, New York.

Toronto area (only a couple of hours or so for him), and Sean was indicating that this wouldn't be too far for him, either... Nor have I seen anyone from the south offering to host this year, either...

It may happen someday.

I have noticed that although Newark itself
does not have very much in the way of commercial accommodations, there are a number of AirBnB listings of various sizes near there.

Last time, we were exploring that, and as I recall, it ended up being
a fizzle.... I'd not be able to do much about that part of it... Maybe there would be a better selection of places the weeks we are looking at...? Dunno....

The idea that got floated last time was to get an AirBnB that everyone
could share. There are too many problems with that -- primarily
commitment ahead of time. We would possibly look into AirBnB in Newark
or nearby for ourselves in lieu of a motel/hotel.

I still think that might be a possibility.

Although this recipe calls for 1/2 stalk celery, I'll bet they meant 1/2
rib. OTOH -- your mileage may vary.

Depends on what you mean by stalk or rib or
stem or finger.

STUFFED CELERY FINGERS
cats: starter, vegetarian, dairy
yield: 18 (4 to 6 servings)

6 oz cream cheese
1 Tb milk
2 Tb finely chopped pecans
1/2 c finely chopped dried figs
1/2 ts ground ginger
8 long stalks celery

Blend cream cheese with milk, pecans, figs,
and ginger. Fill celery with cheese mixture;
cut each stalk into4wo or three pieces. Chill;
serve on tray as salad or appetizer.

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

Title: Julia's Beans
Categories: Beans, Ethnic
Yield: 10 Servings

1 lb Dried pinto beans
1 qt Water
6 c Water
1 ts Salt
2 Garlic cloves, peeled
3 Bacon strips, finely chopped
-optional

MMMMM---------------------BEANS A LA CHARRA--------------------------
2 Serrano chiles, stemmed,
-seeded and minced*
2 Jalapeno chiles, stemmed,
-seeded and minced*
1 md Onion, chopped
10 Bacon strips, chopped &
-sauteed until brown
3 tb Cilantro, minced

MMMMM------------------------PRESENTATION-----------------------------
Snipped cilantro
4 oz Monterey jack cheese, grated
3 Tomatoes, diced
1 Onion, diced
Avocado slices
3 Serrano chiles, diced

*Wear gloves to work with chiles.

Soak beans in about 1 quart hot water, just enough to thoroughly
cover, for 30 minutes. Remove any hard pieces, and then rinse the
beans in cool water and drain.

Cook the beans in 5-6 cups fresh water. After the first 30 minutes,
add the salt, garlic, and bacon, if desired. Then let simmer 2 to 3
hours, watching carefully and adding water as needed. When fully
cooked, adjust the salt to taste.

During the last 30 minutes, add all the ingredients except the
cilantro. Stir in minced cilantro just before serving.

Serve with bowls of cilantro, cheese, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and
chiles. Add homemade flour tortillas and you will have a good
"vegetarian" buffet.

Beans always taste btter if they are prepared in advance and reheated.

Yup. They wanted to offer a Saturday late night flight out (arrival like 3am Sunday) with the same afternoon return... I'd have had to leave at 1pm to catch the flight home. Just didnt work out.

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

Also will have the camper fridge (small) and a cooler so will be
able to help there.

That could be useful, too... We probably will be able to use the
fridge in Bonnie's half of the house, too... :)

Seems the fridge space is always the biggest "need" until people get
their goodies cooked up. The YumYum has to stay refrigerated after
making so that will take up room, until demolished by the group. (G)

Some things might not need refrigeration if they are cooked up soon
after getting them... And, true, some things need refrigeration as part

Grin, apple season here!

I estimate my 2 trees may have cropped 300 this year. I've had 2 families help pick as many as they wanted already. Groevery bags so full we had to double them.

Anyways, here's some uses for them.

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

Title: Xxcarol's apple bread
Categories: Xxcarol, Breadmaker
Yield: 16 Servings

2/3 c Milk
2/3 c Chopped apple (peeled/cored)
2 ea Eggs
2 tb Water
2 tb Cut up butter
4 c Breadflour
3 tb Sugar
1 ts Salt
3/4 ts Cinnamon
1 1/4 ts Yeast

Place all ingredients in the bread machine and set to dough mode.
Remove when done and let rise in large pullman type loaf top with the
lid off for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400F then add pan and bake 17
minutes.

Makes an excellent toast bread!

Optional, can make these into little mini-buns (about 20) and freeze.
Toaster oven perfect for a single person!

Steve found some VT grown ones up here in Hanniford's.

So you picked up some...? :)

For the group, didn't bring any home but will try to when we
come up for the picnic.

Ah... Another reason to make it to the picnic... ;)

Yes, and maybe get another type or two to make some apple butter and
apple sauce.

There are indeed lots of varieties available up here in apple
country.... ;)

Hi Nancy,

Steve's sister still there with them....?

Mom and Dad are back on their own now but Steve's younger sister will
be down again in a few weeks. Not sure when older sister and husband
will move south for the winter, probably late September or so. As of
now, Mom and Dad have told us that we can keep our plans to come up to
NY next month but we're going to wait a bit longer before making a firm committment.

Just in case they are being overly optimistic as to their ability to cope...? If she's got the pacemaker, she's probably in as good or
better shape as she was before she was hospitalized for the Afib...

Still somewhat limited in what she can do until she can get out of the
sling. I think she has about 2-3 weeks yet but she's probably trying to
do more than she should be. Steve's sister had scheduled her next
trip/bought the tickets before the heart issue came up so she's going to
go, just to see how things are progressing.

Yes, and after the picnic, the restriction on time on my feet will be
lifted. We've got a peeler/corer/slicer gizmo that will make short work
of that part but will still have to cook and can the apples.

She didn't change them to go back down earlier, when the heart issue

True, even now. We were out for a bit, got home about an hour ago. I
just spent an hour prepping stuff (yellow bell pepper, onion, carrot,
celery, yellow squash and a boneless pork chop) to do a stir fry
tonight. Got the rice cooker going and pulled out orange peel, garlic
and ginger for seasoning. Now I'm off my feet until Steve is ready for
me to cook. He's working on a project for the house that I can't tell
him to break off at a certain time--I work on his timing so the stir fry
works well.
