Chef, COOKED onions and green peppers are wonderful. It’s hot peppers and raw onions that I can’t eat. Thanks for asking.
Unfortunately, I’m NOT gonna be able to make it. Tummy bug. I already wrote to Chef Troy, but I’m putting this up just in case.
Lynn appeared to be under the misapprehension that the party is tonight rather than tomorrow night. I’ve emailed her to correct that misapprehension, and if she’s feeling better by tomorrow night maybe we’ll see her after all.
Beerman, I still haven’t heard from you regarding how many ankle-biters you’re planning to bring and how old they are…
Get well quick, Lynn! Eat some gingersnaps - that will help with the tummy. (OK, nibble what you can)
This looks like it’s shaping up to be more fun than the law allows, and I can’t be there! 
Here I am stuck in By-God-Galva, Illinois, 'til the 6th.
Feh. Humbug!
Y’all have fun!
I am sorry to say that something has come up and I’m not going to be able to make it this evening.
Hope y’all have a good time. I’m sure y’all will.
Jim
Dang it! I thought I was going to be able to slide by on the cookies since Jim was bringing some. The hubby is insisting I spend the day wirh him since I’ll be spending the night with y’all. Well that doesnt sound right. Anyhoo, I’ll see what I can do about the cookie situation. Maybe I can still pick up a few.
