Early Beginnings

Note* I found Judy Elliot's typewritten pages in my Cooking Buddies "archive boxes" which gives further details of our early beginnings.

After a tremendously successful debut in September, our new cooking group will meet again on Sunday, November 19, 1995, at 6:45 PM at Karen Kelly's home.

The theme we decided upon for our dinner is Southwestern cuisine. According to my notes, the following people have volunteered for: Sangria: Elfreda, Appetizer: Cathy, Soup:Barry, Entree: David, Vegetarian entree: Jan, Bread: Ginny, Dessert: Lorna

Since we have a list of 17 members, it seems reasonable for each person to plan to bring 8 servings of his or her chosen dish. If you are having a particularly busy week and have neither the time nor energy to cook by all means, feel free to bring some excellent after-dinner mints, a bottle of wine, or even some flowers for our hostess. Just come and enjoy!

Please call me before (9:00 PM) at home: (number deleted), or at work (number deleted), to let me know if you plan to attend and what you are bringing. If you would bring a copy of the recipes for both your September and November creations, I'll put them on my hopelessly antiquated compter and have a set ready for each of you by our next meeting. As usual, we contribute $6.00 apiece to cover the cost of refreshments and the luxury of a clean-up crew in the kitchen.

I hope that each of you shares my enthusiasm for this new endeavor. Our first evening together combined outstanding food and a wonderful mix of company. Please plan to be at Karen's on the 19th - maybe it will be even more fun than the last time! Judy Elliott
