    So. Should we start thinking about specifics?
    I've been working on it... ;)

    Excellent. We still have plenty of time,
    but better not to be tardy.

    Tentative schedule - it sounds as if Ruth is
    hoping for a visit to Taste of Japan, for example.
    Anticipated costs?
    Arrangement of sleeping quarters - if there's
    overflow, I'd like to know soon, as it's
    generally easier to get hotels earlier rather
    than later.
    Should be forthcoming... I've got a little information gathering still
    to do... and am leaving Saturday for a week away.... my family's
    camping... this year at Selkirk Shores State Park (NYS)... I expect to
    have at least something tentative in place shortly after returning...

    Keep us posted every step - it might be
    extra helpful if we had an early framework
    that participants could suggest fill-ins.
    Especially those who might have been on the
    fence pending schedules. Speaking of which,
    have you heard from Sean?

    Title: Figs with Orange
    Categories: Desserts
    Yield: 2 servings

    75 ml Orange juice
    1 Tb Brown sugar
    1 Cinnamon stick
    2 Cloves
    150 g Dried figs
    1 Tb Lemon juice
    1 lg Orange; peeled
    - and cut into segents
    100 g Thick Greek yogurt
    1 Tb Clear honey

    Serves 2-3

    This is a wonderful way to use dried figs, poaching them in an orange
    syrup and then adding fresh orange segents You can make this dessert
    at any time of the year, served with a delicious mixture of Greek yogurt
    and honey.

    Put the orange juice and sugar into a pan with the spices and heat
    gently until the sugar dissolves. Add the figs and lemon juice, and put
    in enough water to just cover the fruit. Cover the pan and simmer gently
    for 5 min. Remove the figs and boil the syrup hard until it reduces.
    Pour over the figs, add the orange segents, and chill. Just before
    serving, stir the honey into the Greek yogurt and pass it around to
    spoon over the fig dish.

    I have heard from Sean, and have replied to him in email... as his bbs
    is temporarily down due to a fiasco with his parents' ISP...

    ... I'm not really a pessimist, just an optimist with a lot of experience.
