NE Cook-in?

Felice said...

Quoted message said:

Maxine and I are cooking up plans for a New England cook-in, and are
wondering how many of you would be interested.
Our location choices are Maxine's house in Cranston, RI, or Felice's
apartment in Boston, and our seasonal choices are winter or spring.

Maxine offers a good-sized yard and plenty of parking in the spring,
less than 1/10 of a mile from the bus stop. She keeps kosher, so food
should be brought prepared, and she keeps a cat who leaves her allergens
around.

Felice counters with a location next to the Pru and a short walk from
Back Bay station, with a Shaw's (and its liquor license) on the corner.
She has a small but well-equipped kitchen that will accommodate some
prep, and warns of sometimes pricey city parking.

Before we get too far into this, we'd like to hear from those of you who
are interested as to which location and which season would be more
convenient for you.

Anyone?

Felice

Where's more convenient to train from Philly?

Both you'd take to the local city (providence or boston) then take the
local trans (RIPTA or MBTA) to within a block or so of the cook-in.
Providence is closer by maybe 45 minutes.

maxine

From Philly, I'd leave on Amtrak. I trained to Boston. Don't recall RI
stops.

Spring would seem better. Better temps, road conditions, casual dress and I
could road trip in a Jag XK-8 (or newer model rental). Could pick up r.f.c
hitchikers waving a bottle of wine, to donate to the cook-in of course.

What do I know? A NE cook-in is news to me. Has one happened?

About 4 years ago, hosted by Jack Schidt in beautiful CT. And yes,
Amtrak does stop in PVD, altho the old station was much cooler than
the new one.

Don't forget the one in Vermont hosted by Siobhan
later that year in October 2002. Jack's was in August
2002.

I might be able to make it. Spring is preferable.
I'd also prefer RI as it's closer. (I'd be driving
from Pittsburgh.) Also, I like cats! Also probably
not the parking problems/expense of Boston.

From Back Bay station (Amtrak) to my place is a five-minute walk or a $10
taxi ride. But I'm sure either Maxine or I would be impressed to have you
show up in an XK-8 and lend a touch of class to the event. Your preference
for spring is duly noted.

I believe there have been NE gatherings before, but I've never been to any,
anywhere.

lend that touch of class!?! <VBG>

The operative word here is "wine" but we'd love to see you and the

It does in fact stop at Providence station. The bus terminal is about a

Andy, I do not doubt that Skinny Dipping will be one of the activities
if the Cook-in is held in Summer. Make sure you bring the appropriate
