: In deference to my roommates, and in order to keep the peace (which I like to do, most of the time, sort of, kind of, ya know...) I'll scrape up (no pun intended) some marrow toast in the weeks BEFORE the gathering, and leave the cheese at home. chocolate however, will come in abundance. I've learned this winter that chocolate can quell homicidal tendencies. (Work in my office, you learn this quickly...)
: sardines? Hmmmm...i LIKE sardines, Kate, love em in fact...

Well now, Christina, I think you and I are gonna get on like a house on fire!! Sardines it is!! :o) (Brine or tomato sauce?)
Kate.
PS - the Chocolate IS good, too!! I'm thinking... if we ALL bring a suitcase FULL of chocolate, that could just about get us over the weekend! 'Course, the Gathering is FOUR days, this year, so... we gotta multiply by a fourth... divide by 7 roomies?... minus one mountain climb and one CRP hike... times 7... take into account airline weight limit... consider amount of spending money... add 7 hours (?) time difference... add 1/8 allowance for 'guests'... multiply by 'a smidgeon' times 7 to cover 'nibbling'... By MY reckoning, we need AT LEAST 20 pounds of chocolate to cover the whole of the Gathering. But mathematics was never my STRONGEST point so, Christina, what do YOU make it?
