Good news re: this weekend!

[Steve Killen]

Ok, so I have an ingredients list and the equipment I should bring ready to
go. Clinton, I shall give you a shout when I get moving down to the FLHS
(around 10:30) and again when leave the FLHS (unless more problems rear
their heads).

Let me know if you need anything else before I head out!
