What's Cookin'

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Alright, as usual my mind is on food and I thought I would throw this out there. As with each year there is a pot luck meal on Friday evening and everyone has their specialty. I know that we will have the Turkey Brigade there with their deep fried goodness and I have spoke with the cheese and it is planning on attending this year as well and possibly in addition to a Bacon Explosion or two. With this being said (and nearly 5 months to plan :D) what are some specialty dishes that you all might have to bring along and share??? (And no Sean, we are not talking about anything that is "hand made" or "special sauces" :D)

[Fore Wheeler]

I can bring my extra special, super secret family recipe, Lays potato chips and dip.

makes me hungry just thinking about it.

[lesslimited]

Well, I think everyone knows what I'll be bringing :cheers:

[IllianaXJ]

The chili seems to go over well, so I'll probably bring that again.

Chili-cheese nachos.... mmmmmm.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Byron, you just helped me make up my mind on what I wanted for lunch. :thumbup:

[FlexdXJ]

it will probably involve Venison for whatever I Bring! :D

[kastein]

If I go/make it there, I'll probably be making pancakes (and bacon!) at least one morning, and burgers at some point...

Beer goes without saying! If you like Belgian wheat ales, show up.

[seanR]

I know a good looking lady that makes one hell of a cheeses cake, I'll see what I can do.

[BOB]

we'll bring plastic knives, forks and spoons.
and.....a turkey for the fryer!!

BOB

[REWSTER]

ill try and talk my wife into baking something either cookies or bananna bread for the morning's

[99SJ_Ex]

I'm thinking cornbread... For dinner and breakfast... I love cornbread.... But not as much as bacon... :D

[ILLXJ]

Bacon flavored cornbread. JIM.

[REWSTER]

Bacon flavored cornbread. JIM.

OR

crumbled bacon in the cornbread, with cheese on top ;)

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

mmm...I like where this is going..maybe a link to the bacon page should be inserted into this thread :D I know the "beer thread" will be popping up before too long :cheers:

[XJ Stryker]

I will buy a selection of two-liters for drinks. I know most will drink beer.

But I got some kids and some people don't drink.

[FlexdXJ]

But I got some kids and some people don't drink.

Yeah all 2 of us! :D

[BOB]

Yeah all 2 of us! :D

and me...:greensmok

BOB

[FlexdXJ]

ok 3 sorry BOB! :D

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

If Camille comes with me this year, that will make 4 of ya :D

:cheers:

[FlexdXJ]

If Camille comes with me this year, that will make 4 of ya :D

:cheers:
I guess we're not a dying breed!

[seanR]

...some people don't drink.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink, when they wake up in the morning, that is as good as they will feel all day.

[FlexdXJ]

I feel sorry for people who don't drink, when they wake up in the morning, that is as good as they will feel all day. My ass! I feel better when I get off work! :laugh3:

[kastein]

Sometimes I don't drink. Sometimes I do! Sometimes I REALLY do!

I like it all three ways, honestly...

[REWSTER]

I used to drink, like a fish then i quit for a while now 6 pack gets me drunk

[HaleYes]

If Camille comes with me this year, that will make 4 of ya :D

:cheers:
Now see......I was hoping that she'd get a little "tipsy". ;)

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

well, for you Mike....anything is possible :D

[XJosh95]

Well, I'm gonna try and bring some venison chili. I gotta make it once or twice before then to try achieve perfection with my recipe. Lucky for me, I have a freezer full of venison.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I have a mean venison chili receipe if ya need some guidance. Have not made any for a while b/c wifey does not like it and it is not worth the hassle to shoot a deer just for the meat that I will eat.

[XJosh95]

No offense to your culinary genius, I'd like to work this one out on my own. It's gotta be my chili recipe. I started it about a year ago with a generic recipe for the base and it's been excellent each time. It's just not quite there yet.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

None taken what so ever. A guys chili receipe is kind of like an extension of their personality...so I am a bit excited to see what you come up with..or scared for that matter!! :D

[HaleYes]

Byron is the chili guy. He has always brought chili to WF!

[XJosh95]

I don't want to be the chili guy. It's tough enough being the tree guy! If there are objections to my bringing of chili, I will bow out. We've always got turkeys.

[HaleYes]

I don't see and issue. I wasn't trying to scare you off.:D

First ever MWC Chili Cookoff! :thumbup:

[XJosh95]

I'm game.

[FlexdXJ]

Oh hellz yeah! I love a good chili cookoff. This one should be better than the one they had at work a while back!

[GRIMUS99XJ]

mmm...I like where this is going..maybe a link to the bacon page should be inserted into this thread :D I know the "beer thread" will be popping up before too long :cheers:

leave it to me to get the Beer thread started before I read this lol oh well its no secret I love beer

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

and for the looks of things it loves you :D

helkl, who am I to talk...Beer and food are my mistresses :D

My belly is just a thermal barrier between you and my awesomeness!!

[Rev's Susie]

Closer to Winterfest, I will do my usual summary list, please let us know if you have changed your mind at that time. Somebody needs to bring foil type pans with lids to put cooked food in. I do NOT want my hamburger contaminated this year (Ha Ha).

[Rev Den]

I will bring the pans.


Rev

[hanaxj87]

Thinking about bringing a desert.... It's name (Better than Sex) no kidding... It's killer, my fav.

Nick

[HaleYes]

I just remembered that I've got some Pig Gig left overs vacuum packed in the freezer.
I'll have that there if it's still around in March. I may get hungry between now and then.:D

No deer this year. I only killed one this year. It's gone already.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I just placed the order for 20# of jalapeno cheese sauce...

Cheese "get yo cheez on" Man

[Rev's Susie]

We will bring hamburgers (beef), buns and a few foil pans with lids.

[Rev Den]

I thought I was bringing the pans....and you were bringing the beef and buns.

:D

Rev

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Rev..when you say "beef and buns" I giggle :D

[macgyvr]

Jello shots and cheesy potatos...

mac 'potato...with or without the "e"' gyvr

[Rev's Susie]

Keep the jello shots away from me! I like them way too much.

[Rev Den]

Make extra for Susie......

Rev (if the hotels a rockin......) Den

[seanR]

I have a kick ass rub for frying turkeys.
I will bring it along.

[jester1084]

Is anyone interested in Kringle again? I can bring a few of those.

[Rev's Susie]

I think everyone liked those. I know I do, cherry please.

[FlexdXJ]

Is anyone interested in Kringle again? I can bring a few of those.

YES, How much are they and what flavors are there I may need one to bring home! :D

[jester1084]

YES, How much are they and what flavors are there I may need one to bring home! :D

Flavors = lots, most any of the standards (apple, strawberry, pecan, etc.) and then there are sometimes some tasty specialty ones.
How much = can't remember but I'll take a look when I get a chance to get over there and I'll let you know.

I'll make sure to get some Kringle out there for WF. I have the time off but am currently broke and the Jeep is not running (dead battery and hopefully that's it, I think it's bad when the battery has ice chunks in it, yeah?). I'm going to have to dig into savings some I think, but I fully intend on making it. Besides, I have to bring Susie's requested cherry Kringle. I can't leave a damsel in distress.

I'll make this easy. Pecan!!!!!!! :D

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

What kind of cooking apparatuses are going to be available for the Firday night cookout? I will have the nacho machine, but was going to bring a couple of "special edition" BACON Explosions and need a way to either slow cook them for a while or to smoke them...I could premake them and just reheat them in a BBQ grill as well...just checking to see what options are out there. I am also willing to donate 10# of farm raised ground beef. We just butchered a feeder steer and have tons of hamburger (actually about 300# or more). If this is wanted or needed, please let me know. Trust me, there is a tremendous difference between store bought burger and fresh ground corn fed midwest burger! :chef:

[bmyohn]

Dutch oven on a fire? how long do your "explosions" need to cook?

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

If they are a fresh batch and are still raw at time of cookin, they need to go to an internal temp of 160 degrees. If they are precooked, they would just need heated through.

[Rev Den]

Tyler....I will be bringing a Weber for the burgers that we were going to buy....if you want to bring the meat, I will form it and cook it.

All...if you have a cooking device, bring it, we never seem to have enough grills.

Rev

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Rev, I would gladly have you handle my meat. Pack away there big guy! ;)

[FlexdXJ]

if you want to bring the meat, I will form it and cook it.


Does Sue know you are going to Handle the Cheeseman's meat? :D

[Rev Den]

She will.....she is actually gonna do it, just don't know it yet.

:D

Rev

[seanR]

as long as there are no deer steaks any where near them....

[HaleYes]

as long as there are no deer steaks any where near them....
She's safe as far as I'm concerned......I don't have any deer to bring this year.

[BRIANHO13]

I have a microwave (very small) and a 2 burner range in the bus.

[RedHeep]

Is there going to be somewhere to plug in electricity?

I want to deep fry some fish fillets and my turkey fryer is electric.

[HaleYes]

There's juice at the campground. We've usually got crockpots and a cheeze dispenser plugged in. Shouldn't be a problem.
