Consisting entirely of recipes by the readers of the Fido culinary

attendance at the picnic.
It will be given to everyone who can't make it to the picnic, too, as

should put on an SASE to get one.  :-)
But I need your help to get this done.  Please send me your three
favorite recipes for inclusion in the cookbook.  You may submit recipes
to me via snailmail (PO Box 155, Enfield, CT, 06083-0155) or via

I think that Little Patti was some sort of singer or other
entertainer, and she couldn't stand anything Graham Kerr as the
Galloping Gourmet made, except for this salad, so he named it
after her.
It's not clear where or when, but I think closer to Boston, where
there is far more music going on than up here.

I like Spices, stc. because I can order Quart sizes of spices for about 3
times the cost of the little bottles in the grocery store.  They have quality
spices.
I'm also not much on running all over town, looking for one thing, when I can
just walk through my catalog collection and save a lot of time.  I do alot of
comparison shopping that way.
