PUUF "No Gas" Lunch
News: the "No Gas" Dinner
Your standard potluck on August 27th after the service at the fellowship.
Organized by Al Lewis, supplied by James Newton.
The challenge: No additional gas or other fossil fuel can be used
to transport the food other than that used to bring the congregation to the
fellowship... In other words: Only backyard produce. Well... since we
are having a tough time of it, local farmers markets are ok too... Maybe
you can ride your bike? <grin> The important thing is that the
food not be trucked in from hundreds or thousands of miles away to a grocery
store in the opposite direction from the fellowship.

Farmers and Cooks listed on a board at the head of the serving table along
with what they provided.
Cooks and Preparation:
-
Quiche: Baked at home, frozen then warmed during service by James
Newton (I'm a Quiche machine! 5 in the freezer already). I did cheat on the
shells, milk, and cheese: All from the regular store. But I rode my bike
to get them! That is 40 servings.
-
Tomato Soup:
-
Kathleen Moscato will make her "Kick butt" (and it was) soup during the service.
32 Servings.
-
Salad:
-
the Wolfs: Avocados peeled and chopped for the salad
-
Kathleen and Al picked up greens at a local farmers market. The Mufsons brought
basil and tomatoes.
-
Fruit Salad:
-
Pat found grapes growing near his home and brought many bunches in.
-
Sally Caldwell has figs, which will go nicely on the side but probably not
in the fruit salad.
-
Al brought in much cantelope, grapes, watermellon and peaches from the Vista
farmers market.
-
Someone else brought in a fruit salad and I didn't catch who...
-
Juice: James Newton will bring a juicer and cut and juice any Oranges,
Lemons, etc... actually, I couldn't find mine and Al bought a nice electric
for the fellowship for $13 from the local Albertsons. I owe you Al.
-
Addison Wolfe juiced most of the oranges that Dorris brought in. We had 3
pitchers of fresh OJ. Very nice.
-
Someone dropped off Lemonaid and I didn't get her name. Ms. Kraus? Very good.
-
Eggs: Pat brought hard boiled eggs for anyone who wasn't too sure
about the rest.
-
Veg Salad: Cucumber, tomato and avacado salad was also served. Thanks
to Sally for the suggestion, the Mufsons for the heirloom tomatoes and the
Wolfes for the avacados.
-
Quacamole also showed up. Who brought that? It was great!
