I know it is not the same, but maybe we could all do a group zoom meeting on the same date/time. If anyone had any interesting cooks/recipes they could also share them in a dedicated thread.
If a few people that were local to each other wanted to meet up in one member's back yard that might also be doable in a safe social distancing manner. Given that we are all adults people can talk/cook 10 feet away from each other and with only a few people it would be doable to fit that in someones back yard.
I agree it really sucks that it had to be cancelled, but if I am being honest there really wasn't a safe way to bring a large group of us together. I was really looking forward to this being my first meet up, but seeing some photos of from the past there would just be too many people in close quarters. I think it was the right decision to make. Maybe next year we do 2 meet ups or just make one hell of a big meet up.
