That sounds absolutely fabulous! I love posole and haven't had it for quite some time. Imma gonna try and brave the cold.

We need LOTS of eaters!!!

We are now full up for Soup Makers--though I wouldn't mind a back-up or 2 if someone was up for that--obviously, we'd let you know at least a few days in advance but, occasionally, someone needs to drop out so having a couple on standby would be great. And, of course, we can always use more desserts and, most of all, EATERS!!!

Soup Makers--please remember that you need to be at the Hideout with your soup already warm and ready to serve by 5:15 at the latest--this is really important.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on 2/11! Thanks!!!

I will bring some desserts. Very much looking foward to this. Thanks, everyone, for taking this on.

You can count on me!

I will make Kimchi Jjigae. It will have pork in it.

MMMMM...I made that one year I think and it was a big hit--so glad you're doing it!!!

Is there anything that seems to be more well received? I'm still debating my contribution, although I made a white bean/escarole soup last night that I really liked.

That sounds delicious GP--I think we usually just try to offer a well rounded selection. I know mbh is doing a lentil soup and we already have 3 vegetarian/vegan offerings which is plenty--so something including some chicken or meat of some kind would be good but not absolutely necessary. I am waiting to finalize mine once all of the others are set to make sure we are balanced. So just do whatever you think will be delicious--that's, ultimately, the most important thing

Boudreaulicious,
How many pies do you think I should make? I was thinking 3-4.
Thanks.
Fleur

That is very generous of you Fleur--you certainly don't have to do more than one but if you'd like to, I'm quite certain it will be eaten and appreciated!!!

I'm going to do a curried red lentil coconut soup. It will be vegetarian and possibly vegan, I'll know when I figure out my final recipe. Dying to try the rabbit posole.

Thanks. The rabbits are dying to make it.

I am seriously considering an attempt to make "Johnnie's Beef" soup. Sweet and hot on the side! Croutons made from the rolls. I actually found a recipe claiming to be the real deal for making their beef.

Your plaintive cry for assistance has touched me--somewhere in the vicinity of my stomach, likely.

So, fear-not: I'm Here to Help! (--Or maybe it's I'll be There to Help...whatever.)

--Matt

I'll be there to help eat.

thanks to all of the eaters!!!!!

How early can we get to the Hideout? I have to be back in the Western Suburbs by 7:00 p.m. for a meeting. Hoping there's no snow that night.

By the way, switching to chicken instead of duck... so, chicken & andouille gumbo.

Website says they open at 4:00 on Wednesdays so I'd guess you can get there as early as that. I will be there by 5:00.

Brad--I'll make the change.

i'll probably bring gluten free brownies and oatmeal bars with blackcurrant filling...

sounds great Joan--thanks!

If you need to leave early, someone will sling for you; it happens all the time. They usually let people in back 'round 5:30.

I also have a back up soup maker in the event that you want to do a smaller amount and leave early--he could do a "2nd shift".

Considering Ingrid is coming from the western suburbs to bring soup and leave early. Why not have your back up soup maker substitute for Ingrid? What do you think, Ingrid?

That's totally up to Ingrid--it's a fun event and I wouldn't want her to miss it unless she feels it's necessary.

I think I need to take advantage of the back up soup person. I can make soup and hand it off in advance, but it's highly unlikely I will be able to be at the event, even to drop off soup and leave.

Thanks for the heads up leek--it's not a problem. Soup sub, Laikom, is available. In case Ms. Ingie decides that she can't make it, I could use one more back up--anyone?

I'm very sorry, but my current work assignment which was to end tomorrow has been extended into late next week. Thereks no way I can make and deliver soup on Wednesday. My apologies. Perhaps there is someone else who would like to take my spot.

No problem Ms. Ingie--we'll miss you this year but work comes first! Anyone else wanting to have a really fun evening serving their culinary creation for a worthy cause? If so, just let us know!!
