17 Nov 05 - 09:28 PM (#1607766) Subject: RE: Son of Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Midchuck How do you get there from here (western VT)? I got the impression you go down to Albany, drive west on I-88 for a hell of a ways, then leave it at some point and wander south for a ways further. I'd like to try it, but maybe when snow risk is de minimus. Peter. |

17 Nov 05 - 09:39 PM (#1607775) Subject: RE: Son of Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Jeri You take Rt 4 (with a bit of I89 in the middle) until you get to I95 and go north. Take exit 44 to Rt 295, take exit 1 to Rt 1, and then use the rest of the directions which someone will provide in a PM if you're serious. Snow?! Are people in VT that scared of snow in Nov? If you go south on 88, there will be less of a chance of snow - especially if you take the shortcut through Florida - but it will take you a lot longer. |

We may or may not be there -- depending on when and how much time we need to get a new window installed. Tom has off the day after Thanksgiving. I, however, not only have to work, but depending on how close I am to having the magazine prepped for the printer with a day off for Thanksgiving, may have to put in some hours on Saturday, too. The good news is Tom's put in a window just like this one last year, so now knows how to do it. The bad news is I'll have to move the plant that at Nottingham.

18 Nov 05 - 11:34 AM (#1608236) Subject: RE: Son of Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Possibly a baked ham and a crabmeat appetiser. And of course whatever leftovers arrive. My theory is that turkey leftovers are far superior to the dinner itself. Sandwiches layered with sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, turkey, mayo, etc. YUM! |

18 Nov 05 - 08:20 PM (#1608575) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Jeri I can bring wine. Did y'all enjoy the Wild Irish Rose, or should I try some Ripple or... Boonesfarm has some really cool sounding wines. For example, Boone's Farm "Tropical, "Strawberry Hill" (my favorite, and if you're having a wine and cheese party, it goes great with a nice mellow Velveeta), "Sun Peak Peach," "Snow Creek Berry," "Krazy Kumquat", or "Chokecherry Cha-Cha." Actually, in late summer of 2004, I was inspired by the Rumkopftpftp (or whatever) thread and started throwing fruit and rum in a plastic container. I DID read the comments about light, so I kept the plastic container in a paper bag in a cabinet I don't tend to open much. Perhaps I can find a way to transport it up there. Hell - it could probably drive itself, but would likely get arrested. |

18 Nov 05 - 09:53 PM (#1608619) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Plastic??? Isn't that supposed to be done in glass? Has it ballooned up in the process? Oh goody! Jeri's coming. Ripple, Velveeta and toxic fruit. SIGH Next time, lead. Hey Brian. I thought you were doing a SOng Circle. What happened? SINS |
|
18 Nov 05 - 10:13 PM (#1608628) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Jeri Ballooned up? Rum and sugar and fruit? The fruit gets more rum flavored and the rum gets more fruit favored, but mostly everthing just lies there. No ballooning. If anything around here balloons, it's me. I'm going to make a real effort to get there. Tom needs a window. I need a door, but it's not an emergency at the moment. |

20 Nov 05 - 09:53 PM (#1609855) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL In the 70s, a group of chemists at Pfizer Drug had a tradition. On January 2, upon returning from holiday break, they would put some fermentable substrate (mind you, they produced penicillen at the time), something alcoholic and a layer of fresh fruit. Easch month they added a new layer of fruit - cherries, pears, peaches, berries, etc. It was beautiful...and vented to prevent an explosion. By Christmas it was ready to break open and start over. Always a bed for you, Kath. Hope the weather cooperates. Snowe is predicted for Wednesday and thursday but I haven't heard how much. SINS |

SINSULL and I had a conversation last night about my potential culinary contributions to the feast (basically, the collection of interesting sounding recipes I've cut out recently and would like to make for friends), and settled on two: cranberry conserve and leek/corn pudding. I will also make the Survivors Breakfast, since QueenBatGoddess has abdicated (boo hoo!), and our SINSULL has confessed (big surprise) to not being the morning person that I am. Kendall, I'll definitely be in touch to get reliable directions from I-295 South. See everyone on Saturday! Tami: boo hoo! stupid family (obligations), indeed!

25 Nov 05 - 05:55 PM (#1613811) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Jeri I miss them. I never cook turkey, so I never have leftovers. The last time I had Mom's croquettes was quite a while before Mom died. I have an anxiety thing since, when I was 3, I cut off part of my finger in the grinder when Mom was making these. She threw the mixture out. I remember I was extremely pissed off because I wasn't going to get any croquettes that year. Little kids have different priorites, and different little kids have some fairly bizarre ones. One of these years, I'm going to make the full dinner, freeze some of the bad boys and eat 'em all year. |

27 Nov 05 - 10:08 AM (#1614669) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL The creamed onions were perfect but everyone ate Kath's corn pudding. Go figure. I had fun although it broke up early - all these people with early morning plans. Alex and Sheena showed up - a pleasant surprise. And a Jazz fiddler named Doc who will return with an assortment of Gospel tunes. Lots of old and new songs. Jeri performed and when asked "Who wrote that?" replied "I did." every time. When is she going to put them on CD? Kath's sweet voice was a joy. Deborah has got her lyric book together and functioning. She did some early tom Lehrer that was fun - Ricki Ticky Tin (?) Now she has to work on Tom. Jacqui ended the evning with "Let It Be Me" sung to a glowing Kendall. When will those two cease to be newlyweds? New Year's Eve is next. Make your bed reservations early so that we have enough clean towels and sheets. Giok? It's only a short flight. |

28 Nov 05 - 05:58 PM (#1615818) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Jeri Not EVERY time, Mary! I did one of somebody else's. If you don't want to worry about stepping on someone else's repertoire, write your own songs, that's what I say. I ate the creamed onions. I ate the corn pudding. I also ate a lot of other stuff, including Jacqui's breakfast the next day. (She made breakfast for everybody, I didn't swipe her food.) It was good to see and hear Kath again as well as others more recently seen and heard, to meet folks and to enjoy the meal and the music. Nobody drank what I brought even though it was cream sherry and not cough syrup base, Seamus did not fart (much) and no dogs crapped in the house. There was a bull mastive lap-dog incident and a disgruntled cat, but no fights - only dirty looks. You ALL should have been there. SINSULL wouldn't have had that much leftover turysaurus. Thanks, SINS. |

28 Nov 05 - 06:28 PM (#1615847) Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Favorite moment? Jeri and Kath harmonizing and playing together on Sunday AM. That turkey was an abortion.
