Discus... I still have these items from last year and will bring... 1 big box of garbage bags (none needed), 2 pcks of 300 each of napkins... 2 boxes of plastic silverware (although I don't know how many or what is left in them) ... and a pack of green solo cups (50ish maybe) ... Actually.. I think Bobcats brought them.. LOL ... So you can take off from there ...

Carol... are we making fresh B'fast sausage or store bought ??

As for making snack sticks ... If "we" were to make some I'm thinking it would be just enough (so to speak) to eat over the weekend... no big batches to bag up and carry home ...

Probably gonna stick to my usual game plan... Maple Bourbon Ham for Fri. night and the ribs for comp/sat. night ..

 

[Discus39]

Evening everyone. I go by discus but would like to induce myself. My name is Mark and my wifes name is Phallon and we look forward to joining you for the weekend.

Seems you guys have things under control and I'm not sure what I can bring or do to help out as the newbie. I always am over prepared and try to account for everything. I have alot of these items laying around as extras or left overs as well. Please let me know what I can bring.

I'm no expert on ribs but i will give it a try at the competition as i have the newbie luck from Bobcats and his camp site. I'm planning on doing at least one butt proabaly two. Love to enjoy a good smoked butt. Whether it's for a sandwich, breakfast or tacos can't go wrong. Meat to go around.

Might get crazy and try a desert or two in the Dutch oven over camp fire after a few cocktails.

Look forward to meeting everyone.

 

[JckDanls 07]

Mark... Nice to meet ya (so to speak) ... I'm thinking mostly paper plates and bowls... as we tend to start running out by the end of the weekend... as to why there is none to bring back from last year.. LOL....

For anybody else.. I will be bringing 3- 8' tables for the gathering site.. these are usually full and needing more room.. If anybody has extra tables they can bring.. we will be needing them I'm sure since this will be the biggest gathering yet ...

For all of the first timers.
Don't stress about what to cook. Make what you feel comfortable with.
Ask questions when you see something new. Everyone can teach and everyone can learn.
As said before I cook for a living, but I feel I have learned more than I have thought at these events.

For the rib competition just a heads up. I have already placed my order with Sonny's. I also have my jar of chocolate bbq sauce. So I am expecting to win again this year! :D

 

[floridasteve]

Don’t get to cocky, Jeramy. Remember you gave my your recipe! L9l

 

[jarjarchef]

Nobody can beat my chocolate bbq sauce....

Besides I always can bribe with alcohol....

 

[bobcats110]

Chocolate BBQ sauce.....WHHHHAAAATTTTT???

 

[roadkill cafe]

@dougmays ...Don’t forget to put me down for site #78. Haven’t been following the thread too much. Super busy at work. Got to start getting “things” together. I’ll look to see what’s still needed as I’ll be hitting up Costco for a couple things.

I know your pretty good with those fancy drinks, but nobody can pop the top of a can of beer better, or faster than me. You don’t scare me

But I have to admit, chocolate covered ribs do worry me just a little.

Steve and Keith - I have updated Page 1 with food and camping info

Anyone in for the Cocktail Competition besides @tiki guy (you've been quiet, are y'all still in?) and myself? @jarjarchef ?

Looks like everything is shaping up nicely! I might bring some chili to warm up and eat on Saturday

 

[floridasteve]

Does bush light qualify as a cocktail?

 

[jarjarchef]

My participation all depends on how Thursday goes with my daughter's procedure.

I am game for any "Fun" competition. I can judge or participate. Groups choice.

For those interested in any cooking demos let me know and we can work something out. A few years back I did a rib demo and the past couple years was playing around with sous vide.

 

[JckDanls 07]

I got both of y'all covered ... my ribs are done already and have my nonfamous peanut butter and jelly BBQ sauce on them... gonna see about entering my shine in the cocktail comp...

 

[nimrod]

Keith,
The PB&J sauce is clearly a unfair advantage!
Ann says she will be entering something in the cocktail competition. She can't handle being a judge again this year.
