With just a few days to go before the picnic, it'd be very helpful if anyone whose status has changed since Cathy last updated it here let her know.

Thanks!

I'm a maybe but probably not. Kid's last baseball tournament of the year (and since he's a senior, one of his last ever.) If they get knocked out early, I might stop by late but I'm not expecting that to happen. Sorry to miss--looking forward to seeing the pics.

It's coming down to the wire, and the muse hasn't struck either of us.
SueF will definitely bring some sort of dessert, I will bring something likely to be classified as appetizer, possibly a rerun such as my Indian 7-layer Dip if I can't come up with anything else.

(Hmm... I do have all those ghost chiles out in the garden... I once made Dead Parrot hot sauce with ghost chiles (dried) and blueberries...)

i'm bringing walnut brownies in addition to fruit punch. my guests are either bringing smoked salmon/devilled eggs or korean pork BBQ....

Hi Joan,

We will have labels for whatever they bring!

Why not send me a PM with their names or they can fill it in themselves.

Regards,
CAthy

Doing a Vienna Hot Dog competition Saturday so changing my plans to yakisoba, as I won't be able to go to the farmers mkt. Also, my guests are bringing a curried cabbage dish, and their names are Mark, Nan and Finn.

I'm in with my wife Merle. I'm making Oma's Waffles.

Well, to keep the Thai theme alive (at least for me), I'll be doing a grilled beef heart nam tok (Thai waterfall beef salad). I also plan on bringing a sour cherry pie (but be warned, I didn't do the perfect job of pitting )

Hello- Nik and I would love to come.. He's running a half marathon in the morning, so we'll also be rolling in sometime after lunch. We'll bring some kind of finger food to pass around, and a main.
Thinking of Malaysian style satay, if we can organise a grill, but will update asap.

I will be there, along with soft boiled plus 2 (I'll be a little late, soft boiled coming super fashionably late at around 3 pm due to napping little one). Food TBD.

Pairs4life told us about the picnic. My husband and I will bring a brown butter nectarine cake.

Hi,

I am bringing a variant of a Wisconsin relish plate:
- Seasoned cottage cheese
- Pickled olives
- Crudites with a curry dip
- Pimento cheese with crackers

Salted caramels.

I may make my Oma's plum and/or apple cake. It could be half-and-half.

My sister Laura is bringing pate. She probably will make cupcakes, too.

Regards,
Cathy2

Leekman and I will be bringing something on home made flat bread and a pre-mixed cocktail.

oh dear, i've just decided there are alot of desserts so i'm planning to bring pimiento cheese sandwiches instead of, or maybe along with, some brownies... but in my world there is no such thing as TOO MUCH pimiento cheese, so i'm sticking with my new plan. punch is coming, too, of course....

I'll be bringing bourbon (transferred in advance into plastic bottles) and Ham & Cheese roll-ups.

=R=

Well, I'm going to bring a tomato tart Sunday [tomatoes and herbs courtesy the back yard]. Still debating which recipe . . . .

And beer.

I can bring my Smokey Joe along. I always enjoy sitting in Smoker Row.

As for others listed as participating in Thai Town, I'll let them indicate whether they will be able to attend this year.

What happened to Thai Town? Maybe I can bring along a small amount of Kao ji to help out.

I think I'm the only one left in Thai Town. I was hoping to avoid bringing the bottom portion of my WSM so if you wouldn't mind bringing the Smokey Joe, that would be fantastic. I'll bring some charcoal though. Thanks Panther.

BTW, I told Clelamatron that she could use mine for satay (so more Thai-ish offerings) . . . but I should have more than enough charcoal for all of us. What time are you planning on being there?

It is looking like around 12:30 to 1.

Perfect - thanks again, see you then, and I'll be bringing charcoal & charcoal starter. Sounds like we'll at least have a very small southeast Asian section.

Sounds good! My Smokey Joe kit does include a charcoal starter and while I have an abundance of charcoal, I will rely on yours.

Thanks!

so my guests are definitely bringing korean pork BBQ, not devilled eggs. i've got 40-ish solo plastic cups in the car i'll contribute. laura S is bringing 2 bags of ice for my 2 buckets of punch...and i'm doing walnut brownies as well as pimiento cheese sandwiches. do you know why taco town got cancelled???

Unfortunately, as sometimes happens, a majority of those of us who usually participate in the "towns" have conflicts and either can't make it or didn't have the time to do all the prep for the structure and the food.

We skipped the year between taco town and tiki town as well. So look for something great in 2017!

thanks for responding. i understand that it would have been lots of work and preparation. we'll all enjoy whatever great, creative treat you have in store for us next year- it'll be something additional to look forward to. i hope your stepson wins his game on sunday!

There's been a change in our availability for Sunday... as a result we are not able to attend. [I'm disappointed but hopeful to live through pics taken at the event!] Please update your count to reflect Foodie 0

Nametags and food labels will be printed early tomorrow morning. If you come later, you get to hand write!

For those wondering what to bring, here are a few suggestions:

- While we have considerable adult beverages, it would be nice to have some non-alcohol beverages. Coke, diet Coke, Sprite, something along those lines.
- A few bags of ice for beverages
- A container of baby wipes to clean off hands
- Cups -- I will bring a motley crew of plastic cups. If you have an odd number of cups leftover, bring it.
- Already have a number of six-inch plates. A package of 100 dinner plates will fit the bill.

Just me. Will bring an eggplant side dish.

I will be there +2. Bringing an appetizer or two.

Perfect - thanks again, see you then, and I'll be bringing charcoal & charcoal starter. Sounds like we'll at least have a very small southeast Asian section.

Thanks Panther! (and Brad for sharing). We can be the south-east Asia corner
Nik's actually got some home made fermented Thai sausage, so we can bring some for a starter.
