cathy: i dont have plates, maybe you meant someone else.... i think dance 1 should bring plates if he/she is still willing to shop, even with the new batch of 175 that mbh is bringing. we can always use them next year, but i think they'll be needed. see everyone tomorrow. joan

I will bring also bring ~150 dinner plates and a cooler of ice.

Nix the bread - I was too late to get an order into the newly opened La Boulangerie (also slammed during the Logan Square walking tour.)

Still bringing the spiced sangria.

Well, we do need plates....

I have a 175 pack of Hefty plates from Costco that I picked up on sale a couple of months ago anticipating the picnic, I'll bring them. Kudos to all who are prepping to tonight, I can't wait to taste all your food tomorrow.

TRAGEDY averted. Thx, mbh and wendy (and Dance1, you might as well bring some too if that's what you were planning).

I'm trying to put Labagh Woods in my GPS. Dang, I can't find it. Any suggestions....what city is this woods in? Intersection? Actual address? Help!

The entrance is on Cicero between Berwyn and Foster on the east side of the street. Easy to get to from 94.

I also cleaned out my garden. So first come, first serve on cukes, tomatoes and summer squash! Anyone want basil?

Ahh...the downside of GPS's, you can go to the first page of this thread where there's a map, the actual intersection is Foster & Cicero. You enter off Cicero, the entrance is about 100 yards north of Foster on the east side of Cicero. Just follow the road staying left until it ends and you'll see your fellow LTHer's.

5265 N. Cicero looks close.

Thanks MHays. I know I will be able to find it. I just can't figure out why my GPS won't pick it up. Stupid thing.

Octarine, you are my new best friend. I wish I had made my appeal here an hour ago! Thanks everyone!

Glen, Jen, MBH, are one of you, or anyone, bringing squishy white bread to accompany the Uncle John's links? I will bring a smoker to cook em, but SWB is essential.

Grab a loaf or two for brisket, too (if you don't mind).

Hi,

Any corrections given over the last few hours have been implimented on my home record and not on google documents. If you don't see changes on google, it does not mean it was ignored.

Regards,

You could try this...

N41 58.807 W87 44.700

That should get you close enough to shout.

I'll be bringing a couple mini kegs to share and assorted tools/fix it type stuff (zip ties, wrench, gaffer's tape, screwdrivers, etc...). If anyone has something break let me know, I might be able to help. Looking forward to tomorrow!

I just finished the hackiest grill stand ever built - built in 45 minutes. It is a thing of true beauty.

From talking to the Cook County Forest Preserve Police, the consequences of a violation are: At a minimum two tickets with fines and mandatory court appearances will be issued: to the violator and the person named on the permit. It's my name on the permit. I want to end the day feeling happy, do you catch my drift?

Smack in the middle of my ponderings very early this morning on the meaning of life, food, and happiness, I recalled this item. Since we have many friends joining us this year, I thought it might be worth reiterating Cathy2's encomium.

Going out to the front yard to pick mint shortly and looking forward more than I can say to the rest of this day!

Schiacciata about to go in the oven...



see y'all soon.

Oh crap. Is this today?

I'm so upset that I'm unable to join you. Eat something extra for me!

Consider it done, anything for brisket.

I just found out last night that I have to be In Pittsburgh in the AM, and I need to drive today. Alas, I am out for the picnic. I had planned to bring drinks and ice if anyone is looking for something to bring. Sorry for the late notice.

I have two coolers that I was planning to fill with ice and a card table and 4 chairs that i want to bring but am pretty sure won't fit in my car now that I have 2 passengers. Anyone able to help get these to the picnic site--I'm at the corner of Belmont and Paulina...

I'm bringing pumpkin-walnut-chocolate chip bread instead of zucchini-chocolate chip muffins.

Just saw this and we don't really eat it. Have 2 loaves, less 5 slices in 1 loaf of that white, but still wheat stuff

I stopped by Gene's this morning to pick up mustard to go along with my pate and saw they had plastic 2-liters of Russian beer. I have no idea if it's any good - there are no English words on the label at all - but I couldn't resist picking up a couple for the picnic.

I just got home from the picnic and I wanted to thank everyone for bringing such a great feast to LaBaugh Woods today. I tasted so much great stuff I'm still trying to remember everything I ate. Thanks to Cathy for once again organizing a perfect event.
