also, I'd like a ride in the Gordo-mobile. (El Gordo is my pet name for Fat Guy. :blink: :smile: )

Instead of my bringing a meat dish, I think I'll convince Lauren to prepare some of our favorite, yet enigmatic, pasta that we often bring to such events.

I won't elaborate on the ingredients because figuring it out during tasting is half the fun.

I'd like to attend. I'm not sure what food I'll bring yet, though. How many people are we figuring each contribution should serve?

Just got this thread. If my on-call schedule permits I'm in with my wife and three kids. Possibly some home-made fresh apple-cider?

pnapoli · July 20, 2003

i'm a two (2), not a one (1). have not decided what to bring yet; will post when we do. :smile:

johnjohn · July 20, 2003

I'm in for 1 person. I will be driving from Long Island, and have room for 3 or 4 egulleters in my car. Stopping in Manahattan and picking up people is not a big deal - Let me know if anyone needs a ride. I've been told I make pretty good brownies. If we don't have too many desserts - I would like to bring them.

I'm there; 1 person. Do you have someone covering drinks? Doesn't appear so yet.

I can do dumplings(hence the name) and a wicked good blueberry PIE(elyse, :biggrin: ).

Hi Dumpling, I'm sure Rachel will answer this, but it looks like she has enough to do with adding and updating the lists... our traditional e-gullet policy is to bring your own alcoholic libations, with enough to share.

I assume people who are bringing kids will bring sodas and such for them..a few cases of bottled water might be a good idea...but the blueberry pie sounds even better!

Lisa1349 · July 21, 2003

Add one more for me (Boyfriend)

I noticed coleslaw mentioned a few times... good time for a cole SLAY? Coleslaw contest... I'm one of the judges. Have been critiqueing for 24 years. First ever egullet recipe contest! Receive the Golden Whisk award...

I will bring large stock of PA Wine, Mint Juleps and Victory Beer from Downington, PA.

I know it's in there somewhere, but can we confirm the date? Some were asking about NJT, take bus #197 or #196 when 197 is out, from gate 233, port authority. Limited schedule, $9.70 one way. Picturesque ride through greenwood lake and reservoirs.

Other side suggestions: cornbread, collards, mac and cheese. Chess pie is also not out of the question!

Edit: Found the date: 9/21 1:30 PM

I think we should definitely have some non-alcoholic drinks, especially water, ice tea, and/or lemonade. It may still be pretty hot out and we'll be outside and a lot of people will be driving long distances, so we shouldn't drink too much booze. This would be a good thing for a non-cook to bring.

Note: RSVP list above has been edited to this point.

Kim WB · July 21, 2003

Ok, I'm in for a case of bottled water, too.

I'd say that those are requirements for a good BBQ! Also, green beans... mmm, green beans...

hillbill · July 22, 2003

Two questions:

1. Are lurkers invited?

2. What's the latest date that one can sign up for this shindig?

I'd really, really love to join the party but I won't know if I'm able to until much closer to the actual date.

Er, actually three questions:

3. If I came, could I bring something that I didn't prepare? I literally don't know how to cook or prepare anything. I don't know the first thing about cooking or good food for that matter. That's one of the reasons why I'm fascinated by this place and why I am (and probably will mostly remain) a lurker. Attracted first largely because of the Roadfood-ish and historical aspects of the discussion.

Thanks,

James

BTW, If I am invited and if I do come, I'd be coming by car from Staten Island. Anybody else who wants to pile into my econobox would be more than welcome to ride along. (Lots of "ifs" !)

tommy · July 22, 2003

james, i think it's safe to say that *everyone* is invited.

if you don't want to cook, i'm sure we'll need stuff like paper goods, ice, soda, water, etc. i suppose someone is compiling a list somewhere.

i hope you can make it.

Editor's Note: There's a list above. I didn't want to do my own post, because I'm using them as place-holders for when I edit the RSVP list. Rachel

Is anyone doing a pecan pie? If not, I have a derby-style bourbon pecan pie (a tart, really) recipe that will wake the dead. And barbeque absolutely requires pecan pie.

Also, I wonder if we could get curdnerd to sell us a little of his product in the form of creme fraiche...?

i think elyse is bringing some of her famous pecan pie. although, with 70+ people, it seems we might need some people to double up on some items.

Maybe our pies will get married! :wub:

I am bringing several. How many should that be? Bourbon pie absolutely welcome, Sam!

Randi · July 22, 2003

I'd like to bring fresh fruit and a dip for it. (The dip, by the way...will go GREAT with ginger snaps - which I was going to bring, but I see someone's got it covered!)

Might think of some additional things to bring...I'll keep you posted.

hscottk · July 22, 2003

You know, I just realized that I know who Fink is...... boy is he going to be surprised to see me!

You just never know who you're going to meet on the internet....

KatieLoeb · July 22, 2003

SouthJerseyEpicurian and myself were contemplating making a few large pans of Pastitsio. Does everyone like eggplant and Greek food??? Will there be room to lightly reheat said pans in the big-assed oven?

If not we could just bring sangria if everyone likes that. :biggrin:

Eggplants yes! Please bring the Pastitsio.

Mine is quite different from a regular pecan pie. It's not really a pie anyway, it's a tart. Plus it has a small layer of chocolate and includes bourbon. So I would guess that we won't be reproducing one another's efforts in anything other than the use of pecans. :cool:

Besides, what could be better than a pecan pie tasting menu? :wub:
