    Hi Ben,

    Finally back after almost a month without Fido, not sure why. I was able
    to get, thru net mail, the every three weeks or so, the report of what
    echoes I was linked to but nothing else.

    About 8 years or so ago we had an echo picnic up in western NY hosted by
    Nancy Backus and her sister. We were invited to their church that
    Sunday, with a pot luck to follow service so several of us made dishes
    to contribute. Nancy was allergic to apples so I made a Waldorf salad
    using pears instead of apples. After the pot luck had been going for a
    while, I went up to the tables where the food was, to check on the
    salad. I found an empty bowl; I guess it was popular. (G) IIRC, it was
    just pears, nuts, celery and mayonnaise.

    Welcome back!

    I guess this old "series of tubes" Internet thing gets erratic at times.

    On my recent camping trip i had a pistol pulled on me, which i have not experienced before. Fortunately, we were able to de-escalate.

    pears instead of apples. After the pot luck had been going for a while, I went up to the tables where the food was, to check on the salad. I found

    Nice story..

    It's been years since i've participated in a potluck, but i always found it satisfying when people finished off what i brought. It made the clean-up easier too.

    I might have a copy of your Pear Waldorf Salad recipe...
