  • Sopapillas p.s. a recipe

    From Ruth Haffly@1:396/45.28 to Ben Collver on Tue May 20 21:57:00 2025
    Hi Ben,

    This club started 42 years ago, as a break off
    from a Good Sam's group.

    I remember an older man in the neighborhood who was in Good Sam's, and
    he repaired an electronic gadget for me for free. I must have been between 10 to 12 years old at the time.

    If he was into ham radio, he may have been a member of the group. If you remember his name, I could check it out for you.


    We also eat well...

    Do you recall what you liked at the catered Amish meal?

    The peach pie was the best thing, tho all was good. Took some of both
    pies the next night when they were sending left overs home with various
    folks. Steve had the peach but I'm still waiting to enjoy the pecan pie.

    During one of the days when Steve
    was doing his "radio thing", another wife and I went fabric shopping.
    Does it sound like we have been doing so? (G)

    It sounds as though you ARE having fun!

    We are, moved on to the Hamvention Thursday and went both Friday &
    Saturday. Steve went again on Sunday, Monday we pulled out and are on
    the road to AZ. Supper tonight (as well as boondocking) was at Cracker
    Barrel.

    Hi Sean,


    I've been wanting to go to Hamvention for 20 years but have never had
    the chance yet.

    This may be our one and only time going. Steve did say, however, that he
    would concentrate on the forums if he went again. Me--I'm glad I skipped
    the last day of it. I can only see so many radios, antennas and assorted accessories in 2 days; I think I saw more than my limit. (G)


    Our rally group wemt out to supper as a group last night. I think they made reservations last year as the restaurant was packed! I had a good chef's salad but nibbled some of Steve's pickled beets & eggs and pork rinds.

    I've heard about how packed a lot of the eateries around Hamvention
    get.

    As many folks as I saw at Hamvention, I'm not surprised. The salad and
    nibbles I got from Steve's order were good. He ordered liver &
    onions--said that the liver was a bit on the tough side but onions were
    micely done. The liver was a thin slice so probably cooked a bit too
    long.

    I'd make this as I love toffee and cheesecake...

    It does look good. We're on the road again. Stopped for the night last
    night at a Cracker Barrel so I got the Chicken Fried (ground) Steak with
    garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Good old southern dinner, tasted
    just right. (G)

    Thanks for your offer. Unfortunately, i don't know whether he was into ham
    and i don't recall his name.

    Those peach and pecan pies both sound good to me.

    I have some extra masa harina and i am thinking of concocting a pineapple upside down cake out of it.
