Will there be a Pen Posse Friday night of the SF show in October?

 

If there is, I SO need an excuse to fly down!

OK. Pen Posse called.

There will be at least one pen posse during the show.

 

What is your flight number?

She likes the new unofficial food of the Posse, "Meat Chips".

 

If you don't know, you need to make the next Posse cookout :puddle:

Chips

I so can't wait for Dittmer's to re-open to give lots more sausage variety for More Meat Chips.

 

I will introduce this phenomenon to our cabal.

Great idea!

 

This calls for a special Dittmer's Grand Re-Opening Meat Chip Special Pen Posse.

 

Can you say Hannover Wurst Meat Chip? :puddle:

No, because she's a locavore and Dittmer's is a locavore haven.

I have not only been educated, but have a new place to check out on my next Bay area trip...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(...but I just know that somewhere, up there, there is a vegan who is experiencing vapors. I'm just certain of it...)

Funny you should mention Dittmer's.

 

I know them well.

 

In fact Mark is on speed dial.

 

I could be persuaded to make a batch of my special links. They are guaranteed to ward off vampires, devils, most evil spirits. And the last time they were actually part vegetarian due to the quantity of extras.

 

And for Ricky, ever had souse?

 

If all else fails, I still have a butcher in Nebraska and an old Hungarian guy that cures meats. We could work something out if Dittmark doesn't open soon.

We need a Pen Posse BBQ.

 

 

Yes, I have had souse. Love that kind of food. Any good sources around here?

 

We need more meat for our meat chips.

If you want to butcher a hog I know how to make it.

 

Otherwise Dittmers is the only local place I know that makes it the old world way. I could fly some in from NE if you really need a fix.

 

Meat chips. I'm guessing I know but I'm not saying. If I'm on track, turkey is best but beef runs a close second.

Will the Posse most likely be Saturday? I have only one day to devote to the show so I'm wondering if Saturday will be the most, er, LIVELY.

I subscribe to The Rule of 10 (pens, that is)

1) Parker Sonnet 1st gen 2) Pelikan 200 yellow 3) Parker 51 vac 4) Esterbrook trans J 5) Esterbrook LJ "Bell System Property" 6) Sheaffer Snorkel Valiant fern green 7) Waterman 52.5V 8) Parker 75 cisele 9) open 10) open (I'm hankering for a Doric)

Where is Alice Waters from, and why did she have to come here, instead of staying local to wherever it was?

 

Pen people from elsewhere are still cool.

 

Know how to make a hog? Yeah, how long has Dittmer's been closed, and when are they coming back?

I'm going to school in SF! If it's not too far from my dorm, I'd like to try and attend! :)

Pleasure to meet you, hope to talk to you more!

The location of your dorm is not significant. San Francisco is the important part. The city's only 7 miles across and the show is across the bay and over some hills. So yes, it is far from your dorm. You just have to get your "Clipper" card (I miss the Translink name) and hop Muni and BART.

I have fond memories of a Pen Posse that somehow involved some wonderful Chinese-style salt & pepper Dungeness crab. The show being on the east side of San Francisco Bay there are a plethora of excellent seafood choices that might titillate the palate. San Francisco Bay IS known for it's bounty of the sea rather than it's BBQ pork.

 

Any interest in something along that line?

San Francisco and the Bay Area are known for pork, and most other meats common in the US. That's how we can have Meatpaper.

 

Is anybody coming early for the Cal vs U$C game on Thursday night at PacBell Park?

The best place for that kind of food near the show venue is Koi Garden.

 

Willow Tree which is right next to the hotel is edible but not in the same class. Then there's always my place.

 

 

 

BTW-that was the Pen Posse where we stuff the Montblanc in the chicken's head.
