You forgot Airman’s sister and (maybe) her boyfriend. Dunno what they’re bringing. I just remembered that I have appliances (plural) that I can bring. I’ve got an extra crock pot, electric skillet and electric griddle, so if anyone needs/wants to use them, please let me know and I’ll be happy to bring them along. Just don’t take them, OK? Robin ---

Looks as if the Chicken Biryani may be a go, as I am now in touch with the woman who gave me the recipe in the first place. I have a crock pot to heat it and keep it warm, so all I’ll need is a plug. If someone reminds me, I can bring a power strip and a heavy duty extension cord. ---

::poke:: In the extremely unlikely event that anyone thought I (a once MAD but now TAD – yes, it is its own area) might make a suprise appearance, owing to my and others’ recent return to our old stomping grounds, I regret to inform my beloved and former fellow MADs that MudGirl and the rest of you will simply have to do without me. **norinew** (which I still pronounce as it’s spelled: **nor** - **in** - **ew** ), did you know that if you encase a child in bubble wrap, finding and, er, using mud is that much more difficult for same child? Just make sure you include a snorkeling tube to ensure adequate oxygen inhalation. Otherwise the system kind of defeats itself within a few minutes … ---

We can pick up a few 2L bottles, too, esp. since we drink diet exclusively, and selection in that area is often limited. My hubby is currently enamored of vanilla vodka in Diet Pepsi; I know that drinking (especially blatant) of alcohol is kind of a “no-no” in the park. All the same, one of our bottles of Diet Pepsi may be labeled “For adult consumption only”. 😉 ---
