Huffing around the curve, in last place...
Jan, thank you for launching us into the Land of Blog! (Someday I'll share the address of one I created this year... but first it needs something I've heard referred to as "content.")
I'm on for Nov. 1, and promise not to go in a squashward direction, nor will anything be dependent on the unspeakable, which may, however, make an appearance on the side. Kathleen, what are your ickies? As for this omnivore, I'm just not much of a dessert person, but it's never been a problem. I love taste-size delectations. And the rest of you... ?
If anyone is willing to sign up to bring salad or other side dish, wine, or bread, it would be appreciated. There's lots of chopping space here in case of need, and my houselet would be delighted to be warmed by the newer iteration of Tups. Alix/Andy, you may want to bring the salad dressings to which we've all become accustomed, and butter-like substance if you so desire. I'll make a garlicky vinaigrette and will have other dressings available, "real bother," and olive oil on the premises, so no worries in any case.
If greater imagination fails, I plan to return to my vegetarian standby of yore: basmati, black beans, red onions, diced tomatoes, cilantro, garlic sauce... am I missing anything?
I also have a bottle of bubbly that was a gift from a London colleague last March. Don't know if Champagne has a short shelf life, but the time is ripe to crack this baby open and find out. And given the source, it should be the kind that makes Alix swoon, as opposed to, like, ill. Just warning ya.
It should be noted that my table at rest is maxed out at 6 people, and we are 7 if it's a full house with no YHA or additional guests. There's a leaf that I *think* is operational, but I need to confirm that. If not, stand by for further thoughts.

YAY! Oh Sal, I'm thrilled, I love that bean stuff and it will be delightful to be back in your lovely home.
I will bring a monstrous huge salad. What else --
Oh yes, I know -- I wanted to thank y'all for humoring me by joining the blog. It makes me so happy!

Sal, I would be pleased to contribute the salad to whatever concoction you honor us with--I even have a pomegranate (courtesy of Pioneer Organics) that I will contribute to the cause.
I believe that Michelle will not be joining us this week--Meesh, is this correct? But that Young Andrew might. I will confirm this with him when he gets home tonight.
OK, so, Alix will do salad, I will be happy to bring bread! Should I go for something sort of pita or tortilla like, to complement the black beany goodness, do you think?
I'll bring wine--and thank goodness for the announcement where Tupper is and when this week--I would have appeared and A&A's Wednesday evening!
In answer to your question about what foods I don't like--the short but intense list is coconut, raisens, dates, figs, canned asparigus, and jello.
