Dave, what are you going to bring for Karissa and I? I was thinking you could make some kind of appetizer for us. Maybe the bread thingy with tomatoes on it and cheese. I really liked that.

Anyway...Karissa and I will be attending and depending on what Dave decides to make sure us, I will let you know what we are bringing soon.

Sorry I cannot make it, my wife's xmas party is that night - free food, free beer, free cab rides!!

[bkanderson]

After speaking with my wife, the tastefully simple rep, we are going to bring several different types of cheese dips, and pumpkin bars.

Everyone, have a Happy Holidays! See you at the January meeting.

Weather and schedule (4-H and presidential candidate meeting) permitting, I plan to attend, and my wife, Katy, and our 2 children (12 and 15) will be joining me a little later in the evening. We will bring a cilantro bean salad.

Thanks, Pete

Post from Matth Franklin.

At this point, I do not know if I can come December 8. I am a single parent that weekend and I am not sure if I have child care yet.

I will bring flourless chocolate cake.Dave

You $%!*%&#!! I just bought all my chocolate to make it. But nooooo. Every time Jim makes flourless chocolate cake, Dave has to make it too....

I'll just have to find a way to cancel your Cooks Illustrated subscription.

No problem, I will make cheese cake instead. Let me know if you have had chance to look into why Matt Franklin and Travis can't login into the website. Thanks Dave

At risk of speaking for my lovely wife and other choco-fanatics of the world, I would vote for both chocolate cakes and simply do not see a problem with too much of a good thing. Perhaps we can stretch ourselves a bit and do some port tasting along with it.....
