Food for Fall '13 Swap

10 years ago

As Nelson suggested, I guess it is time to start thinking about food. [When ISN'T a good time to think about food?] I'm pretty flexible, as long as it doesn't require a lot of cooking or keeping something hot for a couple of hours of travel time. Does anyone have something in particular they want to have or would like to bring?

OK. Here, I think, are the directions for the shortest way to Beaver Pavilion. I trust someone will correct me if I get it wrong. Get off of I-65 at exit 246 where the Oak Mountain Park sign is, but don't follow the rest of the signs and the directions on the website. Those will take you to the main gate which is a long winding way from the pavilion. From the North (Birmingham), go LEFT (East) on 119. From the South (Montgomery), turn RIGHT. Stay on 119. You'll pass Indian Springs School and go several miles until you get to Oak Mountain Lake Road aka Park Road on your right. I don't remember if there's a park sign there, but that road will take you into the park through the back gate, which is close to the pavilion. The person at the gate can give you directions from there. My cell phone number is 256-442-3291 in case you get lost. ;-)

Helen, just a thought, it's your call. But would it be possible to swap first and then eat? Only reason I ask is because those who have plans would know what time to arrive for the swap and then, if they needed to leave before the lunch, they would have that option. I know of at least one person who would come but cannot stay very long. Either way, I'll be there. Just thought I would toss out that idea for those who are short on time. Linda

I can bring hot dogs and/or smoked sausage and charcoal for grilling, if someone else can pitch in on the "fixin's".

(And Tony, I promise to "blacken" your 'dogs!)

I'll bring the fixins for Nelson's hot dogs (buns, mustard, catchup, etc.) plus plates, "sliverware", cups, and napkins. How many buns will we need, Nelson?

I will bring sweet and unsweet tea. I will also bring a box of crackers and some potato salad.

What 'cha think, catbird....30 'dogs? I'll grill some smoked sausage as well, maybe two packages. But 30 'dogs/buns should be sufficient.

Plus, Linda's bringing her chili, which I remember as delicious, so we can have chili dogs if we want to, in addition to what everybody else is bringing.

Oh. Also in addition to the slaw if nobody signs up to bring baked beans I have a sinful recipe involving Bacon that I got from the Pioneer Woman that I would be more than happy to bring as well. I love to cook!!

I'm new to this. If someone sees something that's being overlooked, I'll bring it, or maybe a few kinds of chips.

Anyone want to volunteer to bring chopped onions and bell peppers to grill with the hotdogs & smoked sausage? Oh!...and a bottle of hot sauce?? Texas Pete, etc.?

Also, I have found it helpful to bring a small cooler filled with ice in case we have left-overs that need to be divided and taken home.

Just random, fleeting thoughts....the only kind I have ;-D

I'll bring a jar of homemade Vidalia Onion Relish for the dogs, along with the chili. We're going to need bowls in order to eat these dogs!

I will bring ice, bottled water, diet cokes, banana bread, and whatever I think of before I hit grocery store. If anyone thinks of something missing, wants before morning let me know. I'm not a great cook.

Layne,

I was just thinkin' 'bout ice & bottled water. That seems to be the beverage of choice for most folks. Especially on a day like tomorrow - sunny and 89 degrees!

I may have to rent a canoe after all...

Thanks for the pitch in!
