OK ... where possible. I can't wander the world with my
suitcase crammed with stuff that would risk my Global
Entriness, though.

No, just a package of crackers shouldn't jeopardize it, should it...?

They ask "do you have any food," and if you answer
yes, you automatically get sent to the inspection
line, a waste of time. If you say no but are subjected
to the random search, and they find food, they will
take it away along with your privileges and subject
you to (depending on the egregiousness of the offense)
chastisement, fines, delays, or possibly imprisonment.
Not worth it for crunchy snacks, even for the echo's
sake. One may note that since 9/11/01 my offerings of
food from exotic lands have been much diminished. It's
mostly the customs issues but in small part due to
their being more expensive than they used to be and
my being cheaper.

I almost went back to the cookie/cracker aisle to look for Nabisco's version to add to the selection... but decided against it...

We know what the Nabisco ones taste like, most of us, so no
major loss, The Ozem were nice to try, though.

I haven't had the Nabisco ones in ages, though... it might have been reasonable to have that comparison... Besides, what triggered having it
for the picnic was the thread reminiscing about them, and our not having
had them for so long.... ;) Also... I noted last shopping day that
there are packaged Voortmans (in an assortment of flavors) that aren't sugarfree... maybe some picnic they should have a chance to redeem
themselves from vileness...?

Perhaps.

Just a little clarification... our contributions were made mostly on picnic day, and brought the next day (Sunday) to church... And it's a monthly deal, not a weekly one.... :) Apparently some people love the brunch theme... it's not my favorite, either...

Interesting what can excite people.

True. I generally prefer the regular potlucks, with more dinner-type foods... :)

And egg-and-cheese things are more likely to
harbor nasty bugs.

I sort of wish I'd have had another meatball, though
I can get them any time I'm near a kitchen I guess.

Just should have taken a bit more when you first had the chance... those might not be all that easily duplicated... they were quite nice... :)

Meatloaf mix, oil, spaghetti sauce, additional thyme
maybe because that's what I do, a bit of extra garlic
and onion as needed, a couple teaspoons of cayenne.
Pretty easy, pretty duplicable.

We do occasionally get some duds.... I generally avoid the pancakes at
the brunches anyway, both gluten and non-gluten... And mostly save the gluten-free for others, even though most of the homemade ones are pretty decent... :)

I'm pretty sure them as wanted them got them by the time
I, wishing to fill my belly, tried one.

We did have lots of offerings at that end of the table... :) Much more
than those that needed them would have been able to eat... :)

Do you have peanut-free people as well?

she had made it, so I was backed into a corner. It was not
good at all. Stephen discovered that putting some of Lydia's
maple frosting on it improved it a great deal, so I tried
that. He was right.

I missed that altogether.... ;)

You can thank your lucky stars, about the oatmeal part,
anyway.

I generally like oatmeal.... ;)

That Scottish heritage will get you every time.
But this was pretty unappetizing.

White grape peach... ;)

Was it peachy enough?

Pretty much... although it could have been even better if some of
Lydia's peaches/juice had been added to it to enhance the peach
flavor... of course, those were either at the house or altogether
finished off.....

One could have used the juice to make "peach sparkler"
or something like that.

In the meantime, I might get a package for the fun of it... ;)

I suppose, but not all that likely at a church brunch here... :)

Don't forget the cumin... ;)

Do you have peanut-free people as well?

Not at the moment, I don't think.... at one point we had some sort of
nut allergy, but I think that person moved away... but people tend to
list what's in the dishes, for the benefit of those with allergies...

But this was pretty unappetizing.

I'll take your word for it... I might look for it next brunch, to see
how appetizing or not it appears... and probably only take a small
amount at first to taste....

White grape peach... ;)

We didn't bring any home with us... not sure if that was because it was
all used, or if Richard just didn't remember it after the service... I
didn't think to look when I left when Shipps did....
