Try Dollar stores, i see them there often, or gas stations.

Weather is expected to be 75 degrees and sunny. This is my kind of picnic weather!

Regards,

Cathy,

I'd characterize my Four Cheese Raque and Cheese as more of a side dish than an appetizer, if that matters. In fact, for the vegetarians, it could even be considered a main.

Thanks, as always, C2, for doing all this work. I just want to point out that there are only 2 of us coming (EvA and Cabbagehead), although you have EvA 1 and EvA 2 listed above. We are looking forward to the picnic and seeing everybody!

Vegetarian salad nicoise sandwiches ( I will make a no-knead bread for the sandwiches.)

See you soon.

Hmmm... On the previous page I indicated I would be bringing pan bagnat, which is in fact salade niçoise in sandwich form... perhaps I should reconsider to avoid repetition... (though mine would certainly include the traditional fish ingredients)...

Antonius

No, don't reconsider! We can compare styles!

Spice Man and I are planning to grill up some Jamaican Jerk chicken wings. We will do this at home right before we come so as not to take up precious grill space. This will be our first LTH picnic also, and we are very excited!

Antonius,

I agree with Pie Lady's sentiments.

We actually have at least two plum cakes coming, though I expect they will be different in style.

** I will update and make corrections as they come with an overview tomorrow.

Regards,

Hmmm... Okay, I'll reconsider the reconsideration...

Uncreative as I am, I will once more be bringing a couple of varieties of beef jerky. This year, though, they'll be gluten free! Woo?

It's going to be buckeyes for my dessert offering. And don't forget to add the dukkah I'm bringing to the appetizers. I'll be making the orgeat for the Mai Tai's tomorrow.

I would change first, pm me.

Phew. That's like saying you won't bring sweet potato pie because Pie Lady is bringing a different pie. If all goes as planned, all will be enjoyed.

Plus, you may come at different times, so those who miss one can nosh on the other.

So far, no sweet potato.

I am in (tentatively +1) and will be bringing plates from Sam's Club. Excited to meet everyone at my first LTH picnic!

snap203 and I are in

I'm bringing a Turkish chicken salad, snap will bring some kind of dessert

Ronna and I are planning to attend. We're making sopa de elote and a grilled meat tbd.
--Rich

PIGMON and I will be there. I'm making a couple kinds of empanadas, and we'll also bring a beverage to go with. Looking forward to it!

As it turns out, my party is more likely going to be 2 than 4.

=R=

Look forward to seeing everyone again!

I will bring pan bagnat (small pressed sandwiches/nicoise-ish)

attending:
Nancy
Joel
Isabel
Nathan

I will make a pear crisp. Also, a slaw salad, slightly spicy, with fruit. One guest is still deliberating.
This is going to be a great time! Thanks again, Cathy, for all the hard work.
ps I remember your reaction to the slaw salad the last time I made it. It will not be very hot.

Menu update: in our of our friend The Hat, I'm going to attempt some locally-upgraded tapas de castillo blanco; patatas con jamon a la Freddy's, and esliders con piperade.

I am a wimp when it comes to chilis. Make it as hot you desire, then warn people with a little note.

You are the third person suggesting the same. While one is a veggie and another is a fish variant, you might want to consider doing something else or a variation of a theme. Or understand there will be people wanting to weigh in on these three.

Just wanted to alert you rather than three people in same dress at the same party.

Regards,

Ellyn P and I will be attending (2 total). We will bring something in the dessert category.

The Chow Poodle has changed her plan. She will be making mini brownies instead of mini baklava. She feels that the baklava will attract too many bees.

It sure crept up fast, didn't it?
I'll bring longansias (sweet pampanga) and probably a batch of smoked stuffed jalapenos.

Cookies are baked and waiting in the freezer...
The weather forecast for Sunday is looking great!
I'm so excited...
