Reunion chez Susan

What an exciting and enervating evening!  First I ran around making sure everything was ready---cleared space of all the usual debris in our living room----newspapers, drawings, thread, dead flowers, etc.  Then made sure there was stuff to drink and eat---not too much, because les girls don't eat so much.  We're too busy looking and talking and doing.  Then I wanted to make sure there were some of the things available for Miriam's workshop,      "how to cover a box with embroidery."  Glue, polyester,etc. But before I continue, here is my flexible recipe for the dip I served, which Rolande liked.

Susan's Dip
regular carton cottage cheese
a few dollops yogurt
about 1/2 or more white cheese
olive oil
salt and pepper
lots of chopped cilantro ("cusbara") and dill ("shamir")
Some sliced green onion
a crushed clove of garlic

That's it.  Mix it all up, and chill it for a while, to let the flavors marry.  You can dip crackers in it, or also raw vegetables.

The rest of the evening was taken up with Rolande's figuring out who does whose round robin next---this took a while.  Deborah brought us a new victim---uh, I mean member----Vicky from Natanya. She does amazing work very elaborate and beautiful.  She was working on a portrait of Vivian Leigh, the actress from Gone with the Wind.  Will Clark Gable come next?

After we oohed and ahhhed about the new additions to the round robins, Miriam commenced to teach us how to cover our boxes----not an easy task (teaching us, that is, not covering the boxes.)  We had glue and trimmings and boxes all over the place, but in the end, we had some lovely boxes, which were photographed, although there is no way I can include those photos here because I don't have them, and even if I did, God knows how to do it!  (Just kidding, Rolande.....)  Some day......

Anyway, see you all next month at Rolande's place.

Ciaou,
Susan
