I'm bringing my semi-famous potato casserole. And you???? Owl

-- owl (so@a.com), September 28, 1999

Answers I'll bring the beer, but it's gonna be Heineken Dark. I could bring some of that pot that I'm growing to pay for my preps, if it's OK with you? <:)=

-- Sysman (y2kboard@yahoo.com), September 28, 1999.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sysman its ok with me I'll take 3 fingers and I'll bring some pulled pork bar-b-que slow smoked over apple and hickory. Somebody else needs to bring the slaw.

How about a banana pudding?

-- todays Tom Sawyer (RUSH@2112.rockon!), September 28, 1999.

I'll volunteer for the deviled eggs and cole slaw. Who's up for Mimosas? It *is* brunch, after all. : )

I'll bring some hardtack and butter flavored Crisco...TJ

-- Tim Johnson (timca@webtv.net), September 29, 1999.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE let me bring the deviled eggs. My 21 chickens are laying 15-17 eggs a day and my refrigerator is overflowing. Even the UPS guy got some today. The literature I read suggested a minimum of 20 chickens for my size family. I think they anticipated we would eat some as broilers. I have found the chicken's antics to be such a great stress reliever, I have kept the flock at its original size. However, I am begining to feel like an egg pimp.

Since this sounds more like dinner than brunch, I'll bring some samosas to go with Ashton and Leska's Indian potatoes. Where and when do we meet?

Coffee, I'll bring the coffee--providing someone will help me run the hand grinder. Decaf, French, Colombian, Irish Cream, Butter Runm Kahlua, Espresso. I also have ready ground Cafe du Monde and some South American stuff. There's Twining's English Breakfast for the non-coffee drinkers. Oh and I can make some hummus in my new present--a non-electric food processor from Big Lots!!! If nobody wants to make pita, I can bring crackers too.

I just realized nobody has offered to bring the quintessential American pot-luck dish made from non-perishables--the green-bean casserole! Damn, I'm proud of us all! No matter what pot-luck thingie you go to around here, there are at least half a dozen of the things!

Wow, owl: Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Fleetwood Mac, Lyle Lovett, Sarah MacLachlan, Limp Bizkit (yes, really), Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and maybe K.D. Lang. In that order. (No (*&(%$^% country music. That's about the only possible positive contribution Y2K may make: stomping pop country out like it so richly deserves...)

-- lisa (lisa@work.now), September 29, 1999.

I'll bring some whiskey to help wash down the smoke...! I'll also bring some Chicken Creole with egg noodles (yummm!) No crap cakes for me either...grin! Jon: I'll take some of your lentils if you take some of my Mac&Cheese!

My better half can bring his guitar to play along with the keyboards, but I'm not singing "Puff the Magic Dragon" with anyone (unless it gets really, really late...!)

-- mar (derigueur2@aol.com), September 29, 1999.

I'll bring an experimental TVP dish, some dehydrated potatoes (these are luscious!) and some Buddy Burner candles made from catfood cans! Also a big smile and a hello to you friends!

mar - Funny you should mention that. I planned to bring some extra sharp Tillamook Cheddar, along with a loaf of crusty sourdough French bread and a nice "starters" bottle of our local vintage (perhaps a Filsinger Jo'berg Reisling or a Gewurtztraminer).

Clue me: what happened to the original?

-- lisa (lisa@work.now), September 30, 1999.

Since I feel so indebted to all of you on this forum for friendship and information, I will bring a dry canned can of malted milk balls. I only did one but I figure it will be worth more than gold and I would love to share it with all of you. This means I really care about all of you and thank you.

-- a mom (share@withyou.com), September 30, 1999.

Polenta, chocolate chip cookies, and a scrumptious rice salad (with pine nuts, currants, and a whole lot of other stuff--if I can just find the recipe again).

Oh--and crackers, in case any Pollys show up...

Hmmm. Typo or Freudian slip? Either way Lisa, you gotta admit... That was hilarious!

-- CD (not@here.com), September 30, 1999.

I have to take my son to this so I please understand...

I will bring plenty of scrambled eggs and with two or three bottles of ketchup. If anyone else wants ketchup you'll have to bring your own.

(yes, we still have plenty more in the pantry ; ) No need to worry about him being picky about eating after the rollover. If it is swimming in a pool of red he'll eat it.)

mar...Puff? too funny! Do you think your "better half" might be interested in a Gibson Epi Sheraton II and a Fender amp? : ) Gotta buy more 55 gallon drums...no, not those drums...water drums. I'm in the mood to deal! Open bids...

-- Michael Taylor (mtdesign3@aol.com), September 30, 1999.

I'll bring some vegetarian sushi, cucumber pickles I made myself, and the sound track from the original Woodstock....

-- Libby Alexander (libbyalex@aol.com), September 30, 1999.

Heinies are okay..but for those who are adventurous, I'll bring the home-brew...beer with character!

-- TM (mercier7@pdnt.com), September 30, 1999.

Dare I suggest... FRUITCAKE?

-- yerfdog (not@real.com), September 30, 1999.

FRUITCAKE??? Why, do you think there will be looters and we'll need something heavy and dangerous to throw?

Mike

====================================================================

-- Michael Taylor (mtdesign3@aol.com), September 30, 1999.

Mike -

Hey, hang onto the Fender and such and we can be the band at the brunch, dude. I'll supply the drumkit (no, not 55gals - I'm finding they're reeeeally hard to tune) and other percussion. Anyone out there play keyboards, sax, or 'bone? Looking to play some maximum R&B, maybe some James Brown charts, and something off the new Santana project.

Ah, memories of Elk Lodge gigs. 2AM, enough ciggie smoke in the air to make you blind, and some drunk yelling, "Wanna hear 'Tiger by the Tail' again!!"

-- Mac (sneak@lurk.hid), September 30, 1999.

Mac,

roflmao...sounds like a cool gig!

I actually have a "bone" too...haven't played in years but that and my Fender accoustic may be all I'll be able to use without electricity : ) I think I'll go with the brass and let the real talent handle the strings!

Mike

===================================================================

-- Michael Taylor (mtdesign3@aol.com), September 30, 1999.

Hey, Mac, I can bring the Guiro for "Smooth"....

If Santana can still put this stuff out, maybe Y2K won't be so bad after all.......

-- lisa (lisa@work.now), September 30, 1999.

Mike, would you please bring some avocados in from the left coast -- they are rarely very good from the grocery stores in Kansas. I'll make guacamole on-site. (I'll reimburse you in gold based on the current spot price as reported on Andy's pager).

-- DaveW (dwood@southwind.net), September 30, 1999.

Dave, you've got it!

You know, I used to have an Avocado tree in my front yard once? My dog would actually eat the ones that fell on the ground! We're so spoiled out here! Oh, and my wife makes some excellent guacamole too so you two can trade secrets : )

Party!!!

Mike

Perhaps some California oranges for spiked juice drinks? Now where was that rum? (Good for soaking fruitcakes too).

What about games? Like the flaming fruitcake toss?

For the vegetarians, (A&L, me, and others), my deviled tofu for spreading on pumpernickel, fresh tomato wedges. Got a valencia orange tree in my backyard...I'll bring what I can.

I'll bring my axe, (AKA, my guitar) got a banjo too, autoharp, mandolin, a couple of mountain dulcimers. Now if I could just figure out a way to get the upright there we can play and sing through two sunrises and sunsets.

I'll bring the keyboards! I'll also bring some chips to go with that guacamole, and some Absolute to go with that fresh squeezed (yum) O.J.

I'd be happy to bring some Chicago specialty food [vegetarians beware...lots 'o meat involved] Chicago Beefs, Chicago Pizza, Chicago Hot Dogs (please don't ask what these are made of), Maxwell Polishes (with grilled onions, of course) & I'll make pasta with the best Italian Sausage & meatballs you have ever tasted (they will stay with you for days ;-).

For the kids I'll bring M&M's, Jello & lots 'o squirtguns.
