Out!

I'm sure you'll be ok with cheese, ham, salami, pepperoni, olives, anchovies

As I said mate, bring your own stuff we just need some packs of base mix even, mich better than the pre-made stuff. We have a bread maker which mixes dough

Well eggs, flour and milk we can't go wrong (English wise) so I'm sure people can make both. Though I've never made American ones though

I can't remember if it was Cupertino or Mountain View but the one we went to there was awesome, the cocktails were great and the food was quality

I think I had the lemon & lime shrimp and classic sirloin combo, yum yum

You're fussy?

I don't eat veg unless near forced, I hate spicy stuff, like very few fruit, and tbh, if it's not a by product of an animal, I doubt i'll eat it.

As for food, i'm not sure what i'll be bringing, I think you lot have covered what I was gonna bring, i'll just see if I can get hold of some giant hot dogs.

Remember Kate American theme is only for the Saturday night festivities

so wont be too much stodge

We'll be taking a run up to the cottage before the meet when I've finished all my marking to see what's about.

Everyone's welcome to bring food, but we were thinking basic could be bought as a group, which we can sort nearer the time

As for american theme Leo, what you've said is pretty much what I had in mind. We don't want to spend ages cooking though so things easy to stick in the ovens and just check on rather than having to check every 30 seconds are always good

but we've got to make fries

Lynnie - Not worried about the America theme at all. Like I say, I'm not fussy at all and I'll eat just about anything. I was just saying that American food doesn't really "do it" for me, that's all

I agree with you in thinking it's probably best if we stuck to simple, bung in oven (or on BBQ hopefully) type stuff, but there's nothing wrong with a few people wanting to have a bash at some dishes

Davey_Pitch · 05-06-2007, 23:02

There is at least on BBQ there (though maybe two, can't quite remember) so I'm sure burgers, sausages, hot dogs etc can be cooked on it. It'll clear some room in the ovens for those who want to make other things, and the BBQ food mentioned is all stuff I can eat, which suits me fine

lostkat · 05-06-2007, 23:05

Exactly

I think probably sticking to the likes of sausages, burgers etc. is the safest method by far, just to make sure everyone gets something they like. People who want to cook extra can do that

Inspired by this thread (ta Leo

) and the fact I rarely have eggs and spare milk in the fridge I had 'Crepes aux fromage et champignons de la BBx' avec crepes avec limon et sucre pour pudding (to finish up the batter)

Mmmm mmm

Hey thats not American at all - lol!

Talking of american food.... grits are yummy! Blackened alligator, gumbo and jumbalaya... nom nom nom!

I have a creole/cajun/new orleans cookbook here - recipes from Commander's Palace (I got to eat there once it was amazing!)

Give me potato salad, and I'm a happy person at a BBQ

Definitely be happy to bring the potatoes with me and sort it all out though.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
