Return of the Cook & Dine

Summer is over, Oktoberfest is over. Time to start cooking again!

As per the last two times, 6-8 people, at least 4 cooks.

I'm thinking a harvest theme. Lots of nice veggies and fruit available this time of year.

My place, this Sunday, 4:30pm. The early start seemed to be appreciated last time (and no one comes on time anyways ), so we'll keep that.

First come, first invited. PMs to the usual address. A few non-cooks will be welcome too, so even if you can't cook, you can come. You will be number 1 dishwasher instead.

And that's 9 of us already, so we are full! If anyone cancels, I'll post here the openings.

Room for one more cook has opened up.

I will be at the Schopfer stammtisch. Can I come just to dine?

No, sorry, not this time Roots. We already have 4 people who aren't attached to cooking anything. I want another cook if anyone.

What sort of cooking is involved? Is this chopping, prep, that sort of thing? I used to cook back in the day, but it's been a while.

UpQuark, read the thread linked at the top. If you can make a dish for us to try and provide a recipe, you qualify. A starter or a salad would be best. Everyone helps with the chopping, prepping stuff.

Ah. Include me out then. I have no decent recipes these days.

Excellent food and company, once again!
The menu, for any who are interested:

Rice paper packets with Chinese roasted pork (and chicken for the non-pork eaters)
Salted zucchini quiche/cake
Salad with cherry tomatoes, candied cinnamon walnuts and softened goat cheese
Roast chicken with rosemary, lemon and garlic
Squash pie

It was a lovely evening, thanks to everyone who came along and helped, in every way shape and form.

Had a great time and NOW I've remembered I said I'd post that music I was talking about that I think is so cool:

Secret Agent: The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For Spys and P.I.'s too! [SomaFM]

If you can't just click on the above, go to http://shoutcast.com and search for spy and this stream should come up. I like it for the background, it's mostly instrumental so you don't end up listening to the words (which can be distracting in conversation). I like shoutcast in general, don't buy cds anymore -- type "elvis costello" and click on the station that's playing him right now, for example. Great.
