Post #242 - September 8th, 2008, 4:08 pmWe really enjoyed having you! Though you originally claimed to be a non-cook type, you obviously know your food; in our too short conversation, I learned a lot from you about various food and drink other people brought. Welcome!

Post #243 - September 8th, 2008, 5:45 pmWe really enjoyed our first LTH picnic and meeting folks. And the food was fabulous! What a picnic. Everything I tried (and I tried as much as I could hold) was outstanding. There were several dishes I could have eaten for an entire meal because they were so good. Of course a diet of all-marinated olives probably isn't healthy....
Thanks to Cathy2 and Mhays for all their hard work. We had to leave early but carried away some goodies, including Gypsy Boy's varza a la cluj, eagerly eaten by my cabbage loving husband. And I must say my Sacher Torte is very photogenic!Mhays wrote:EvA's chopped liver (gratifying to see the young EvA snarfing it down) Generally, a good day for liver!
The young EvA--my 15-year old son--knows from chopped liver. And you all should pat yourselves on the back because he thought LTHers were pretty cool, high praise from a teenaged boy!

Post #244 - September 8th, 2008, 5:54 pmThank you to the person or person who brought ziploc bags. They allowed me to bring home some delectable dishes that I just could not do justice to at the picnic. Two winners from tonight's dinner were:
Vital Information - kefta with green spicy sauce - mmmm good!
SteveZ - KC Style Burnt Ends - wow what a great sandwich that made. Only problem was I wanted another!

A meal, with bread and wine, shared with friends and family is among the most essential and important of all human rituals.

Post #245 - September 8th, 2008, 7:26 pmThanks to fifille for the terrific photos of items I thought hadn't been captured. You reminded me of Dan's remarkably good charcuterie, rivaled only by that which Ronnie Suburban brought last year. I suggested to these well-read and passionate pork-cooking gentlemen that they hold an iron chef like charcuterie cookoff with me as the judge/ taster....defended from strong temptations to social ambition by a still stronger taste for tripe and onions."

Yes, thanks to all who have taken the time to post pictures.
Dan's pate was absolutely masterful. I wish I had taken some of it home with me. It'd be an honor to lose a charcuterie cookoff to him.

Post #248 - September 8th, 2008, 11:22 pmI'll try not to simply echo what everyone else has said, but it was a truly spectacular time. I didn't get a chance to try even half of what was put out, but it was all good. I took pics, and found a few dishes that haven't been posted yet, I believe.
Such as:
One of the talks of the picnic, Cathy2's Braised Raccoon:
Trixie Pea brought two dishes. Onion Stuffing
and Tomato Potato Leek Gratin
LynnB's Mexican-Style Black Bean and Corn Salad
Jyoti's Goi Ga (Vietnamese Chicken Salad)
and Heather 22's Potato Salad
Of course, thanks go to all participants, volunteers, and Über-Organizers Cathy2 and MHays.
And, sadly, I guess my words merely regurgitated what everyone else has already said. What can I say - they're right.

Gorillas, Honkers and Beetdiggers...
Because towns identify with their teams, the powers who decide such things often look to graceful, powerful animals for mascots. Bears. Bobcats. Golden Eagles. But there are those who take the road less traveled, mascot-wise, and opt for…something else. Which is how the Gregory Gorillas, Turton Frogs, Claremont Honkers, Waverly Woodchucks, Bruce Bees and Provo Rattlers came to be.
Others forego the animal kingdom for dashing role models. Knights. Cavaliers. For those who want a little outlaw in their mascots, however, we have the Sioux Valley Cossacks, Ethan Rustlers and Bristol Pirates. Other communities choose to honor less romantic figures. The Keystone Dynamiters, Armour Packers and Newell Irrigators, for example. Two schools even found inspiration in the sugar beet fields, which yielded the Vale Beetdiggers and Nisland Beettoppers.
...
One South Dakotan, Jerry Miller, has been collecting sports stories for a long time — he started cutting basketball pictures out of the newspaper when he was still in grade school. His list of state schools and their sports team nicknames grew out of that hobby.
