Hello Everyone -

I used to read this newsgroup religiously (to use a phrase)
about 10 years ago. We recently moved to Southern CA and I
remember there were quite a few poeple who also were active
on this group back then from CA. I remember always reading
about Trader Joe's and wondering what it was - they did
finally build one a mile from my house in Northern Virginia
but now I'm surrounded by them out here! Anyway, just
wanted to say HI to anyone who is still out there in CA
from back then. It's been quite a move for us but hopefully
we'll adjust - nice weather anyway! 🙂

Risa, I'm in south Orange County and I'm sure Charlie from
Sandy Eggo will try to sign you up for the June cookin. Go
for it! They're a blast! I can't wait.

I became active in this newsgroup years ago at the strong
suggestion of Susan Steinsapir, as I was home recovering
from mono. Susan--who was very active in the group before
her untimely death in 1996--thought it would be a good
release for me and it was. I still remember Susan sitting
at my computer showing me how to search in Unix. Reading
the group these days is rare for me. There are still a few
familar names though. I did host one cook-in (rather, eat-
in) in Sacramento. Ray Bruman in Berkeley really threw some
great rec.food.cooking gatherings.

While most of the people I knew in this group don't appear
to be active these days, the topics are quite familiar.
"What is a cube of butter? How do I season cast iron? Why
use unsalted butter?" etc.

Anne, whatever happened to Ray? I had an absence here of
about a year a while back and he had dropped off the group.
He kindly hosted an overnight at his place with another
RFCer when we had a cookin/campout in northern California.
Very nice guy.

Lots of people are no longer posting these days, but many of
us are still in touch, email and in person.

Ray's email goes through but he no reply. Last time he was
at Burning Man. Mayhap he is still in the desert.

Yeah, and there are sometimes really good brownie
recipes, too.

And discussions about what kind of vehicle to use in
tenderizing meats. (Wasn't it you who popularized the
Volvo?)

Ray is alive and well in Berkeley. I received a Christmas
card from him. He is happily retired and his many and varied
interests keep him busy. And "hi" Squeaks. Nice to see that
you are still here.

I had an old 240 at the time, but I believe it was Anne who
smushed her chicken with a Volvo named Ingrid. Now how a
vehicle with a male sign in its grille got a feminine name
escapes me.

If you talk/email Ray, tell him I remember him and his
hospitality fondly.

I could have sworn that was a thread about black walnuts...

(Hoping I got the attributes right!)
