mike,

Ill put you guys on the wait list.



Swell - we'll keep an eye peeled. Don't misunderestimate my acclaimed garbage salad.

Mike

jimswside - I'd love for this to be my first LTH event (and one hosted by a fellow Deadhead makes it all the better). Can you add me, my wife and my two young boys to the waitlist? We'll chip in for the pig and my wife is already conjuring up dishes she'd like to make.

sounds good, ill add you guys,

Thanks, buddy!! While I'll gladly pay for my sons' portion of the pig, don't count on them eating more than 4 ounces combined. Seriously, they'll load up on the appetizers.

sounds good,

Besides the hog I am planning on doing ABT's a few slabs of ribs, and some Peoria Packing hot links if have room on the kettle and WSM.

The ABTs you cook up make me salivate. Your last batch with crab and crawfish looked especially tasty!!!

Don't know what planet I've been on to miss this thread for five full pages, but may I (please) be on the waiting list? Just moi, no LDC. Thanks.

the sturdy table sounds good if its not a problem please bring it,., Im going to try to buy another 6 ft. banquet style table pre even, but the more space the better.

the oven is all yours if you need it for the shrimp appetizer.

it's been kind of a long runnign thread, started really early during the dog days of winter for my own mental wellbeing(needed something to look forward to when it was freezing out).



ill add you.

Oh no! After looking forward to this since December and thinking about what to bring, I can't come! That day is my only nephew's graduation party! Jim, you now have 3 openings.

MikeLM you +1 are in.

tables(I have one banquet table, and a couple smaller tables)
chairs
napkins
plates
utencils

Pot Luck Items could be:
sides
beverages(water, pop, beeer, etc.)
mains
dessert
appetizers
etc.

I could go to GFS and buy paper products. Would you like the "chinet" type of plates? Sturdy and you don't cut through them. I can bring my five gallon jug filled with lemonade as I did for the picnic last year as well.

What kind of chairs? I've got folding, bag chairs, adirondacks...

added to the wait list(pretty sure there will be some movement before June 6).

Saw the above in a post. You did mean to say June 5, right?

June 5th is the date, my bad.

the plates you suggest sound great, as does the lemonade, thanks

I have some extra chairs, but like last year if you have a chair to bring for yourself, etc. that helps.

I think I'll bring along a case of 2 Brothers beer for the event. And a coupla chairs. And some napkins.

What about bread products? Do we want squishy white bread or some buns?

I've been noticing, btw, that I tend to look at a list for a pot luck and try to fill in perceived holes; this frequently results in my bringing a vegetable-based dish that gets mostly ignored. Should I just give up, or look for vegetable dishes that contain bacon?

beer, chairs and napkins are appreciated.

Also great call on some bread or buns for the pork.

About 30 days out I think we will get up a spread sheet(with some help) of who is bringing what. That will help with what is needed or desired side dish wise. Maybe that will help with your decision, I think with this group any dish will be appreciated.

Sweet!

I might bring some homebrew too but it tends to go quick

I was hoping you might be bringin' a little something you brewed up.

Thought we already posted this, but looks like we haven't.

Ronna and I are planning to bring gelato.

Looking forward to it,

nice.... I know you just made alot of people happy.

after trying a pig off the La Caja Chinese Box yesterday, i am really glad the la Caja is the route I decided to go with as a cooker vs other options.

Cant wait to try my hand with the La Caja in June

We are too!!!!

Yea! I loved your gelato last year, especially the avocado and salted carmel. They were as good as any I've had in Italy.

I still talk about the avocado gelato...what a treat!

Im just hoping the weather stays dry, My lawn has recovered from last year.

If things go as they are I plan on doing the event on the back section of the property between the wooded areas, not on the side yard as last year. More room, flat ground, and closer to my buddies fire pit where I can dump the ash from the La Caja Chine when needed.
