Cancer Bloggers Reunion: The Menu and More
I sent out an e-mail yesterday to my nearest and dearest, asking them to volunteer to cook breakfasts and dinners for the three-day Cancer Bloggers Reunion.
These are great friends, so I got a few answers right away.
Michele, a member of my writers' group, volunteered for dinner on the 23rd. She's making a "lentil salad, cheese, bread, green salad kind of thing."
My friend Laurie, writer, editor, and massage therapist, volunteered to make veggie lasagna and salad for dinner on the 24th, which is Thursday.
Warren, computer guy and former disc jockey, volunteered to cook dinner on whatever day no one else takes. He wrote, "Let's see what other offers you get and I will fill in the holes." No word yet on what he's planning to make, but this guy is a good cook. I'm betting on something Asian. I guess he gets the 25th.
Update from Warren: He is making us an Indian (from India) meal. Yum.
Jennifer, who is a member of my writers' group, and who has a story about her mother's garden on my blog, is going to provide breakfast on the 23rd. She's making fruit salad, a spinach quiche (or two), and some croissants. "OK, I'm not actually going to bake the croissants, but I will bring some," she wrote.

And Monica, personal trainer and travel buddy, will be out of town during this week (bummer, because I wanted her to meet all the cancer bloggers), but she's going to bake us some cookies. Yum. She also makes a mean cake ...
Debutaunt said it was OK to ask her sweetie, who lives just south of Seattle, to cook breakfast for us all one morning. We have to check this guy out, after all, before me let him marry our Debby. She said something about breakfast tacos, which sounds good to me.
So the menu is shaping up. I figure we can eat lunches out. The meals at my house will be vegetarian--dairy and eggs, but no meat or fish. Hope everyone's OK with that. And we should have some fresh produce from my garden ... I just bought some tomato and pepper plants yesterday. Also an eggplant, but the Western kind. I need some Asian eggplants, but haven't found any at the nurseries yet.
Activities
Lisa wants to do a hike while she's here. I'm thinking maybe the Saturday after the reunion, the 26th, if that works for folks. No need to hurry home on my account.
I think Jacqueline is planning on bringing samples of her Rebel1in8 jewelry and also clothes from the Rhea Belle (say it out loud) line, so that she can do a trunk show one afternoon or evening.
Reminder
Those of you who haven't gotten the answers to those questions I e-mailed to you back to me yet, please try to do that this week. Thanks. Don't answer any questions you don't want to ... or that aren't relevant to you.
