[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear furtheradu!

Thank You for inviting me to your dinner party! I am honored to be included in such an illustrious bunch.

You're right on about DFW........I've been lucky enough to have met him and his beautiful wife last summer. My husband and I hosted them here. We had a blast, needless to say.

IF we could resurrect some of our dear departed DU'ers, I'd invite WCGreen, Khashka, Redstone and MiddleFingerMom. Sterling characters, all of them, and so funny and smart.

[furtheradu]

14. Dearest Peggy!

I was here in the early DU days. .
I was lucky & BLESSED to have a few interactions with WCGREEN ~&~ Middle Finger Mom..
they are remembered STILL.
So, they WILL be at our DU dinner party. No doubt about it.

[DFW]

15. Make mine peach (or apricot) pie with lots of cinnamon, please!

And my wife is a gourmet chef, so just turn her loose in the kitchen with whatever's there, and no one will go home hungry!

Like Peggy mentioned, we've met, so I'm ready to meet the rest of you!

[furtheradu]

18. Yay! & bring Ms.DFW, will You?

Mmm, fresh peaches for Your PIE, cinnamon & a pinch of nutmeg!
Ps. Bluebonnets have come on early & strong this year! Hope You can see them, online or in person!

[DFW]

20. She likes to travel with me, so you're on!

But she hates intercontinental travel for short trips, so if we have to trek over to North America, it'll have to be combined with with something else we do. Maybe visit our daughter in NYC and my brother in DC on the way home. If I bring her, no one will pay any attention to me (EVERYBODY loves her), which leaves me time to demolish the peach pie at my own pace. Fair warning.

[furtheradu]

25. That'll work!

& Your PIE shall be known as
"Pace YourSelf Peach Pie"!

You want ice cream on that? I say yes!

[DFW]

30. I'm not supposed to do that

However, if you have some well-made cinnamon or vanilla bean ice cream, I guess I'd have no choice but to make an exception.

I just did that tonight, actually. I had a late lunch with an old friend (former German radio news station chief in Moscow), in Köln, so I wasn't very hungry when I got home this evening. So.....I opened a piece of sheep's cheese I had gotten at a farmer's market in Barcelona last Saturday morning before I left to fly up here to Germany. I tried a slice just now. It took all of my wobbly discipline to wrap the rest back up. It was like a feta, but with the consistency of a young Gouda or Gruyère. YUM!!! Also, I saw that my daughter had forgotten to take back to Frankfurt her sheep's/goat cheese sampler I had brought for her (wheel with 4 quarters of different kinds) from the same market. The question is, will it still be here for her to collect on her next visit? I'm not sure yet, but any bookie that is giving odds on her finding it still intact at her next visit is doing his customers a disservice.

[furtheradu]

33. Those cheeses You describe..!

Make my mouth water!
Nice cheeses & a nice wine..
Yummm!

& a little treat sometimes is medicinal!

[Skittles]

21. I could entertain by kicking Pinboy3niner ass

he pays me VERY well so it's a WIN WIN; yes INDEED

[JudyM]

22. Festivus feats of strength.

[furtheradu]

24. That WOULD be entertaining!

What kind of PIE You want?!

Note: I always name my Pies.. remember that old pic of Obama lusting after a piece of PIE? That's what got me started...
Every time he did something awwwsome, I'd bake PIE, in his honor.
They were "Obama kick-ass Pies"!

[blm]

31. Hey wait - he's PAYING you?

He told me he needed a mercy whooping because he didn't have any dough on him.

; )

[furtheradu]

39. "mercy whooping"!!!

[Skittles]

44. the more they enjoy it, the more they pay

I cannot tell you how many times I have screamed, "STOP SCREAMING OR I'LL STOP!"

[pinboy3niner]

50. You know how it is. When you get to the end of the month you depend on the kindness of stilettos.

[furtheradu]

52. !

[blm]

57. LOLOLOLOL!

; )

[bathroommonkey76]

23. Will you be streaming this dinner party on Skype?

[furtheradu]

26. Well, geeeee..! Hadn't thought of that!

Can YOU come & take care of that?
What kinda PIE for You?

[teezy]

28. Inanna

Because she's my sister and the only one I know yet. I'm only a few months new to DU

[furtheradu]

32. Well, You better come, too, & bring Your Sister!

..so You can meet ever'body!
What kind of PIE(s) Y'all want? !

[BuddyCa]

34. Random Thoughts!

he brought the beer last time. that reminds me, did we ever pay him?

[pinboy3niner]

35. Pay him? That turkey was demanding beer and travel money and many experiences!

He had a lot of nerve!

[furtheradu]

41. HA!

O, he'll have some experiences!

Looking forward to seeing You, Pinboy3niner!
What PIE would You like?

[pinboy3niner]

45. Well, since you asked...

[furtheradu]

47. HA! That was awwwsome!

Awwrighty, then!

[LeftInTX]

49. Never knew who sang this: Now I know it is Skip & Flip

[furtheradu]

37. Bring him with You!

What kinda PIE for You 2??

What kinda beer goes with PIE??

[NightWatcher]

36. I'm going to take *unique* as a compliment.

Thank you.

I've got a baggie of weed and a bunch of old stories of govt intel and more recent stories of being a gonzo private eye.

Sounds like a fun party.

[furtheradu]

38. Yes! It's a compliment!

Yes, please!
Can't wait to hear Your stories!!

SO! What kinda PIE for YOU?!

[NightWatcher]

40. Since my grandmother passed, my favorite pie has been a store bought on.

We have this upscale grocer Fresh Market that sells a chocolate fudge pie that's yummy.

If however you are an excellent pie baker, I'll take a straight up lattice apple pie with no ice cream on the side.

[furtheradu]

42. Excellent!

I'll bake a
"NightWatcher Straight UP Lattice Apple PIE" ,
just for You, & send You HOME with the easy recipe.

Not sure exactly where to get Lattice Apples, this time of year, but I'll figure it out.

[Generic Brad]

43. My ignore list

And then I would not show up.

[DFW]

46. Remember the George Carlin interview segment about pies and presidents (from 1997):

Q: Right there with Bill Clinton.

A: I like Bill, by the way. If there were only one cherry pie in the world, and Bill Clinton owned it, I might get a piece of it. If Bush or Reagan owned it, you'd have to kill them to get a piece of pie.

[pinboy3niner]

51. I didn't know Olive Garden delivered
