I'll take Rewster's place with some desserts. Put me down for some cookies and brownies. Looks like we are covered on protein.

[bmyohn]

I also have a small two burner propane stove. I have a few propane tanks that we could use.

[HaleYes]

I've got tons of pork burgers from the hog we bought last spring. I'll toss a few packages of those in the cooler.

Who's bringing the condiments?

Hale"no patty making required"Yes.

I have like 6 little bottles that I bought for a camping trip a couple years ago that you can have.

[RedHeep]

We're going to fry french fries instead of fish fillets.

And my wife wants fried pickles.

[Rev's Susie]

I love pickles, but fried? Never heard of such a, treat??

[FlexdXJ]

I love pickles, but fried? Never heard of such a, treat??

They're amazing Sue, You'll have to try some.

[bmyohn]

I love pickles, but fried? Never heard of such a, treat??

They are delicious! I can bring some potatoes to fry up and make some homade potato chips if we have a frier.

[HaleYes]

Good stuff Susie! Must be a southern thing......

[lesslimited]

Good stuff Susie! Must be a southern thing......

Very good, just a little breading and drop them in. You'll be hooked.

Won't take long to do the fries and the pickles in the turkey fryer. It's electric and keeps temp really well. I've never done potato chips, but you're welcome to it.

[bmyohn]

If i can find the folks slicer I will do it. If you do fish the best chips ive ever made is coat the chips with old bay and serve them with tartar sauce. mmmm they were good!

[macgyvr]

I love pickles, but fried? Never heard of such a, treat??

They have them at the hooters here in da fort...

mac 'good stuff' gyvr

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

for some reason I see a joke in the making..."pickles and Hooters" in the same thread... :D

[Rev's Susie]

I will try the pickles, but not sure I will like them. I like my pickles plain, usually.

[cardboard]

What time does this Potluck shindig happen. We plan on being there about
6pm, so will we make it on time for dinner.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I am not sure that there is a set time, usually just when everyone starts getting hungry Friday evening.


On a side note, if anyone is looking for an idea for something to bring, we will need tortilla chips for the nacho machine. :chef:

[BRIANHO13]

Earlier the better, I am ussualy to drunk to enjoy the food by the time it gets going.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

well put! :cheers:

[chaz_88_MJ]

[macgyvr]

We are aiming for 5:00pm on Friday. See Rev's "Welcome to Winterfest Oh-Ten" list

[XJ Stryker]

We got 7 2 liters of various products. Figure most will drink there beverage of choice (alcohol). DO you rekon that is enough Suzie.

[Rev's Susie]

Sounds good, we never know how many will show up. Did you get any sugar free pop? I'm not suppossed to have sugar, but I'll have my water anyway.

[XJosh95]

So, I have the chili now simmering in the crock pot on low. I'll do the same tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before the dinner. Took a small taste and wanted to let everyone know, WIN!!

Tyler, you'll be especially happy since it has bacon in it.

Fun fact: When you make bacon bits for chili, you can lick your hands afterwards!

[IllianaXJ]

Are you making one crockpot of chili, or more?

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I am going to precook up the Bacon Explosions tomorrow night so we just have to heat them up on Friday. I would have liked to made them Friday, but the amount of time on a grill or smoker (3 plus hours) makes it not feasible with everything else that will be going on. Nacho machine and cheese are ready to roll as well. I am going to lay the hamburger out tomorrow to start thawing and we will be in good shape.

[GoSlowGetStuck]

Neal and I are bringing four turkeys with us. We plan to cook two Friday night, since we don't have the dinner that night and we'll all be scavenging. We'll cook the other two Saturday since they went so quick last year and there was so much demand for them. Also BrianHo said something to me about bringing a 17#er that we'll cut in half and cook up. So we should be set on turkeys (in case anyone was thinking about bringing any extras).

[XJosh95]

Are you making one crockpot of chili, or more?

Just one, Byron. If I had another crockpot, I would make more. But I have just the one and my recipe puts it just over half full so I can't even fit a double batch in it.

[bmyohn]

I can bring another crock pot, if we want to make a second batch. My folks have sitting one around I believe.

[IllianaXJ]

I'll be making one pot of beef chili also, so we should be good. Sounds like we will have more than enough food.

[Rev's Susie]

We should probably mark the crock pot with the type of chilli. ie. beef or venison

I know I would appreciate that.

[XJosh95]

If you can't taste the difference, why would it matter? :dunno: I'll still make sure I do that for ya, Susie!

[Rev's Susie]

If you can't taste the difference, why would it matter? :dunno: I'll still make sure I do that for ya, Susie!

Trust me, I can taste the difference, I just want to know which one is which. Thanks, by the way.

[97XJ2]

I don't know if the list on the post #1 is accurate. Is there anything else needed. I can start a batch of chili too. Or pick up some junk from the store. I hope to be there at about 1am on Friday morning though that is up in the air and I'd like to help if I can.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I just read back through the thread and did not see any mention of hamburger buns. We will need buns for sure. I am bringing 10# of hamburger meat for burgers, ad Hale is bringing pork burgers as well.

Cheese "gotta have buns to put your meat in" Man

i can grab those. how many are you thinking?

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

maybe like 4-5 packs? that would be 32-40 hamburger buns..depending on how much we actually make..it may be mass overkill too! shoot from the hip and try not to shoot your foot...I have faith in you young grasshopper, let your stomach be your guide.

Cheeseman-OUT!

[89eliminator]

let your stomach be your guide.



you really dont want me to do that:D

89eliminator-hamburger buns

[bmyohn]

does anyone have condiments? i can get a big thing of ketchup mustard relish, whatever.

[89eliminator]

i just read the first post and it says the hamburger buns are covered and so are the condiments, brendan.

[bmyohn]

Oh gotcha, well when I got the store in Attica, I'll pick up something to bring along.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

GOOD CATCH WADE!!!!! I sure as hell overlooked that one. Has anyone been assigned Advil for later that evening?? :D

[bmyohn]

lol i dont usually get hangovers no matter how much i drink. but if i find some advil i'll see what I can do :laugh2:

[BRIANHO13]

lol i dont usually get hangovers no matter how much i drink.

I think this is a challenge.

[bmyohn]

oh its on Brian. The only time I've ever had a hangover is when I drink Vodka. So i dont do that anymore lol

[BRIANHO13]

I just bought a 1.75 of deliciousnes.

[bmyohn]

what is deliciousness called?

[HaleYes]

what is deliciousness called?
I'm guessing it's 1.75L.

[seanR]

I found a bottle of Absinthe at the liquor store today.
$75.00 is too steep for my blood.
It would be fun to pass around the fire though.

THey got that stuff at my local liquor store. It was 55 there.

I bought the lil shot bottle just to try it since they said it makes you hallucinate.

I ended up pouring it down the drain I can't stand the black liquorish taste.

[jeepmanwi]

I'll be there sometime Friday AM, anything needed for pot luck? I looked at the first page of post. Looks like most of the stuff is covered. I'll bring beer,ice or what ever is needed.
Paul

I did put that we were bringing hamburger buns.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Yeah, back on page 4 Wade caught that, I had overlooked that when I originally posted. He is going to bring something else now.

[woody431]

We got some odds and ends things to bring.. but, best of all... 5 gallons of gin bucket! wait till you guys get some of this.. hehe

[bmyohn]

Couple things I am going to bring along that should help out with the potluck. I found a propane grill with two burners, needs propane though. And I also found our pop-up canopy (the kinds you see at tailgaits) So we can use that as well if it will be helpful.

[97XJ2]

Well i can grab ice, idk, was there anything else needed? Or napkins, just going off the "what we need" list

[poorboy87]

Well I was planning on bringing Greenbeans and taters but it sounds like we got the food covered. I Did grab paper plates and Forks spoons and knives. I will have my moms crockpot if needed.

[HaleYes]

Pretty sure the utensils and plates are covered.
Check the list.

[IllianaXJ]

Did anyone grab bowls? I can stop by Walmart in town or the Pamida in Attica if we need em.

[Rev's Susie]

It looks like we still need napkins and bowls. Any different food (from mentioned) is welcome.

[Lawn Cher']

Napkins & bowls. Check!

[97XJ2]

I want napkins! I'd like to contribute.
