San Diego Roundup Food

Not to worry roadrunner, I'm guessing that there will be ample to sample...lol.

My DH is at UCB, LOL, and I go there 20 minutes away any chance I can, best foods and chocolates!!! There used to be the greatest place called Cocolat, and I miss it so, best real French Trufles!!!!!!
DRDON, what did you major in?

hiya hanna1,

I did a double, got doctorates in Benthic Ecology (Marine floor Biology) and Tectonic Plate Dynamics (Geology). When I finished my defense it felt as if I'd given birth to science geek...oh yeah, I am a science geek. Can one give birth to one's self? I got out in the early 80's and went right to work for UNEP (United Nations Environmental Programme). Retired two years ago after 20 years of service. Go Bears!

best,
Don

Hello all,

Sorry, I just can't seem to get time to read the threads anymore..... : (
I will be bringing Macaroni Salad, but if there is anything else that may be needed?

Keep my email handy, let me know a day or two before the 25th and I would be happy to help fill in the mssing stuff... : )

Dr Don, How cool, you've got mail in a minute

Okay, we're getting down to the line and it looks like we will have about 50+ attending.

Current needs are cups (cold & hot), sturdy plates, napkins and cutlery.

Also, Don says it is hot, hot, hot and we can't have too much bottled water.

There are stores where you turn off the freeway at Rancho California Rd. in case anyone forgets or needs something -- like sunscreen, hats, film, etc.

Anything I've forgotten?

How hot is it?
I will be feel bad to bring 2 cased of bottled waters!

Rusty, it looks like it's been in the 90s, but the forecast for Saturday is 82. Of course, we all know about forecasts, don't we?
I think you are being quite generous with your 'bringins'!

I think we should all bring at least a six pack.

Got H20 on my list. I second, good idea for all who can.

Here's the truth of Temecula,

If Bob, Fritz, Loren, Skippy, or Mark tell you it's going to be 90 in Temecula.....add seven degrees. If he says it's going to be 45 at night, subtract 7 degrees. Why can't we have more women as weather....persons here. At least the truth would be closer...lol. Unless, of course, it was about their age.

What should I bring? My wife just had surgery on Wednesday so she will not be able to make it after all. I don't mind chipping in for the meats even though I am vegetarian. It looks like we are pretty well set on paper goods. If anybody is interested, my wife would like to make pancit (Filipino noodles with vegetables). Let me know. I can hardly wait for this event!!

Thanks again,

Chuck

Chuck...I'm sorry your DW will not make it...but her noodles sound great to me. Jo

Chuck, please tell your wife she will be missed and we hope her recovery is speedy. I love Filipino noodles!

Chuck, so sorry that your wife can't make it too. Hopefully the next time. I just had to add that I absolutely love Filipino noodles...you sure she is well enough to make them?

See ya soon,
Donna

Is anyone up for cassava cake? I will make it if someone is willing to try.

I will try it. Have no idea what it is like but it sounds interesting.

Thanks George for being so brave.
kaperc - Please put me in for cassava cake.

Done, Eliza!

Eliza, I just cheated and gooled the cassava cake. I sounds yummy.

Donna

Donna, so did I -- couldn't resist!

Dear Kateliza_id,

Cassava cake sounds delicious!!! I think that I have a lot of sweet rice too if someone wants to make bako(sp?)

Thanks,

Chuck.

Sounds like it will all go good with the chocolate. Right?

Seriously, sounds like some fabulous eats making their way to Temecula.

Janet...I'm sure we are up to the job of Chocolate Tester!! Jo

I think we have to spend the whole day eating to finish all the foods.

HMMM...is that a problem? hehehe Jo

Went to the military Commissary today and bought all my ingredients for my salads. There was a nice big fat seedless Watermelon that was calling my name, so I bought it to bring also. Nice cold watermelon for a hot day!!

But not for me, cause I don't like watermelon.....hehe

Donna

Yummy....I LOVE melon with my chocolates! Good going. Jo

Thanks Jo....lol :-)

Ok y'all! Have WONDERFUL time and eat lots for me! I would love to hear and see pics in a thread after all the fun! I'll meet you another time! Be careful going to and from!

Karen ;~D

Thanks Karen.

Oh yes, I'm sure there will be enough food to have an extra bite or 2 for you also. lol So sorry you can't make it this time, but there is always another RU around the corner.

There will be lots of pics taken, so keep an eye out on Sunday if not sooner.

Donna

You'll be missed, Karen! You can make funny comments about the pictures and give us all a laugh, though.

Cheers,
