Getcha some! Potluck etiquette?

[Guest guest]

Getcha some down home fixins! Orion has said the best

things about Tom and Janet's potlucks. I am sad to say

I haven't yet made it to one. I got busy there for awhile

trying to move myself outta Seattle. I always had a G!sale

when y'all was having a feast. I got to try a few taboo

treats. Now it's time for all of us to bow down to our

hosts when they lay down the law. Remember the old saying:

" Don't bite the hand that is feeding you " Also remember:

" WE reserve the right to refuse service to anyone! "

This is good stuff. I've kicked people out of my home and

kitchen when they were out of line and cramping my style.

Folks, Mind your manners and enjoy one another! There

is more to life than rations. Share your Passions!!!

Go to the Farmers Market and Buy a Big Bushel to Share!

Love Shakti ~ PS Tom - Where the heck have you been?

I was hoping you would have contacted me by now.
