What an amazing sounding event. I would love to have gone to one of them too.

PS If you like the sesame noodles, I’ll give you the recipe for Molly Katzen’s (The Moosewood Cookbook) Indonesian Rice Salad.

I’m going to try those noodles on Sunday. I’ve made sure all ingredients are in my pantry and refrigerator…so I’m good to go. I’ll let you know. You have the best recipes at your house. Next time you are in the states, stop in Texas, won’t you!~skt

Wow! You Texans know how to do things in a big way. Picnics..contests….quilts….what’s next? Also grabbed a few recipe’s from ‘Around the Island’. Think it’s gonna be a great summer!

Matty, I hope you make it a great summer! We Texans “brag” about doing things in a big way…let’s see if there is anything behind the boasting…~skt

Perfect picnics, those coblolly “things” Shame we are all so spread out, we could have a food coblolly and a crocheting one! I used to love seeing the fancy picnic spreads in St. Pete, they had the china, glass goblets and quilts, but I think Texas has them beat with the butler!

I’d have a coblolly if I could get y’all together! I’ll let my husband be the butler. In shorts, it would be good. He has nice legs ~skt

How did I miss the original post on this. I am here everyday. Sounds good to me and reminds me of my childhood. Different name, but the idea was the same. Those were wonderful days too.

I missed out on those particular ones, but remember fun picnics at my Papaw’s farm. I wish I had gone to a coblolly! Sigh.~skt

Thanks, Stacy! If it’s a small package, send it to P.O. Box 2241; Denton, TX 76202. If it’s a LARGE package, send me an e-mail (hit that “contact” button at the top of the page) and I’ll give you my home address. If I do that, you have to PROMISE not to publish it on a porn site! ~skt

I was just gonna add that when I was growing up in the Alleghany Hills, we too called it “stone soup”; we had “Heritage Days” in Oil City, a big festival in the park where everyone would gather for a ‘heritage pride’ day as it were, and there would be booth among booth of authentic german foods, polish foods, irish, italian…your story reminded me of that.

Oh, yes. You are making me hungry! If Daddy John had known the story of Stone Soup, he might have called it that. Or, maybe he knew the story, but wanted to add his own twist to the tale.~skt
