I’m sorry, but for a variety of reasons, it looks like my pumpkin bread and I are going to have back out. I’m dreadfully sorry, and will try to make up for it by bringing pumpkin bread to the next event. ---

My favourite way to celebrate Easter is to bump threads. And eat a lot of candy. My teeth hurt. ---

Hey! It’s getting nearer to the day. I need emails from everyone so I know where to send the directions. You’re crazy if you think I’m gonna post them on the internetz. ---

[QUOTE=GingerOfTheNorth] … so I know where to send the directions. .. [/QUOTE] I’ll be coming from Pennsylvania - can you email me directions, please? 😉 On a serious note, we’re bringing a hot spinach dip and chips, and carrot cake. Those with allergies or on diets, beware. ---

I should still have the directions, somewhere in my stack o’ directions in my car. I’ll check tonight. Tomorrow or Thursday I’ll pick up Cuba Libre fixings (read: rum) and try baking this cake mix that I didn’t get around to using during Passover. Just so we have more chocolate goodness. ---

I bought chicken franks and beef burgers. Chicken is pareve, isn’t it? No matter, I’ll also have some Boca burgers around. Can I get a roll call? ---
