Thanks to everybody who came to the SoCal hotluck. While our turnout may not have been huge, we certainly managed to have a good time and got to meet some new and entertaining folks. (I'msorry S. from Escondido couldn't make it and I hope those muscle relaxants at least make you forget about your back!) For a small gathering (about a dozen) there was certainly a ton of food -- it included two chilis (Andie's orange-peel and Gregg's), Tadao's C3PO (curried chicken and what not), spicy chicken fingers, habanero mustard potato salad, habanero horseradish cheese log, shrimp ettouffe, spiced oatmeal bread, skillet cornbread, and tri-colored twice-baked potatoes (if I forgot something I apologize). It was all good and I'll be eating the leftovers for a week! The only mistake was bringing out The Bread Jim Campbell sent right at the start of the party. Naturally everybody descended on it. The sampling was followed by sudden rush on the beer and soda supplies. The problem was that affter that nothing else at the table tasted hot at all! But at least we all earned our "I survived The Bread" buttons that the Snyder's brought. Hot's Desire has volunteered to post the recipes from the party, provided the rest of us get off our butts and send them to him, so if any of the above sounded interesting check out his site some time in the future. Again, thanks to everybody for coming! David Cook
