And while we didn't get to play any games, or watch many videos/photos, we DID get to do what I enjoyed most, which is talking to a group of interesting people with diverse knowledge and experience!

Thanks for the pix, Mike! Just as the last of the KatKlik people were leaving today at 1:30 this place filled up with relatives. I am lucky to still be taking care of KatKwiz and KatKwery but will have the videos and me in your super hot rod by tomorrow!

Note: We signed up a new member last night during our meeting. But I have not found her in the Members List yet. Later, I have two grandnephews hanging on me right now.
Oh, it is! It's filled with wonderful mementos from Lee and Sheri's travels around the world!
Looks like a great time!
Lee, I always make Basmati rice too. (I started when I was married to my husband who is from Iraq.) The Iranian women always made it with the currants for special occassions at the Mosque. Mine is good but never tastes quite the same. Does Sherri put the currants in while it's cooking or after it is cooked? Does she use dried currants?
Could I by chance, get her recipe?

don't know what type of currants she used, but there were currants in one of the rice dishes!Originally Posted by mzjazz2u

All but this one, that is.
This is me (Lee) in Mike's super hot rod that dang near ripped my head off with its big V8 acceleration (Mike was driving, not me and I forgot to mention to him there was a police station right down the street).
Videos tomorrow.
So I pressed Sherry for the recipe after everyone left. She claims to not have the recipes for any of her dishes as she is just one of those awesome cooks who simply "makes" things. She was going to try to write down what she does. For the rice dish, I recall her saying that there were pomegranets, pistachios, onions and some other things.Originally Posted by mzjazz2u

So Lee - please remind Sherry to write down those recipes and get them to us!
If you go back to the food spread, from front to back (if I remember the order):
Rice with pomegranet, pistachio, etc.
Rice with almost a jasmine type flavoring
Salmon
Eggplant
Beef
Chicken with pomegranets, etc
A ground beef dish that at first looks like huge meatballs but are mixed with rice and seasonings that were out of this world.
Stuffed grape leaves
Looks like you all had a wonderful time!
I questioned her at length on that! She told me she warms a tiny bit of red onion in a little olive oil, then stirs in whole red currants and slivered pistachios and almonds. I don't remember her mentioning pomegranates -- but I was surprised how vivid and plump the "currants" were, so maybe those were actually pomegranates! And then she spread it over cooked basmati rice, to which she'd added a little butter and saffron.Originally Posted by mzjazz2u

But Lee, if you can get her to write down a proper recipe for us, we'd sure love it!
It does sound slightly different then the recipe the Iranian ladies used to make. It actually sounds more like how I make mine. Except I never cooked the currants with the onions.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia

But Lee, if you can get her to write down a proper recipe for us, we'd sure love it!I can hardly wait to try making it, but first I've got to get some of that wonderful Iranian bread with sesame seeds on top to go with it (we had that this morning at breakfast, when I went back over to take Amy to the airport). Luckily, Sheri told me about a Persian market just a few blocks away!
Phew, I just got home (finally!!) about an hour ago from all my Sunday stuff!
It was so much fun to meet all of you guys!!! Thanks again, Lee, for letting us use your place to meet, and thank Shari again for us for all of the wonderful, wonderful food!
And Amy - Chay is in love with HIS catnip buddy. Billy isn't allowed to play with it - he got antsy when I tried. He is now lying exhausted on the bed next to it.
I was going to take some video, but I left my camera at the church! I'll get it back tomorrow and definitely put up a movie or two. But he says to tell you "Thank you meowy meowy much!"
