Eddie#s contacted me and asked about the gumbo on Fri, and offering to cook it up AND bring all the gear to do so if I would post an ingredient list...so here it is...
15#s boneless, skinless chicken breasts...= 5 lbs spinnernut , 5 lbs Nobody, 5lbs Starleen2,
15#s smoked sausage...various brands are OK, a Cajun version would be better = 5 lbs mechmagcn
...3#s of tasso = Caseydog
10#s of chopped (fresh/frozen) Okra...or combination thereof...................... = Oklahomajewel/hikrynut
10-15#s of white or yellow onions......= Warpony
4-6 LARGE green bell peppers..........= Loader
2-3 bunches of celery.........= Loader
32 oz jar of chopped garlic = Honeask
10-12 bunches of green onions= Bc Toys
10#s long grain rice = Pam and Bob bertrand
...please pick a portion of the ingredients to bring and post it here so we know who is bringing what and PLEASE chop/cube all ingredients beforehand and have them at the party site(#38) by early afternoon on Fri...once again, I'll supply the roux and other herbs and seasonings...since Eddie is a reborn coon-ass and I will be assisting, this should be smack yo mama good...AAIIIEEEEEE
...because I haven't kept up, I haven't talked to anyone about logos, t-shirts, awards, name tags or anything else...I apologize for this. I'm afraid Marlene and my health issues have pushed most all else off'n the stove(by several orders of magnitude)...
...A REMINDER...extra tables will be needed around the party site, so, if ya got any, bring 'em...
...dance parties, wine tastings and margaritas will be upto the usual suspects to plan and execute if wanted...
...Jack-O-Lantern carving is HIGHLY suggested for the festivities but, since I haven't planned for or talked to anyone about awards, they will be for the "ambiance" of the party...
...Sat nite is the potluck...most of y'all have been to enough of these diff gatherings and should know what to bring...doancha...
...we will not havvta worry about a fire ban this year(yayyippeyahooo) and since they have been logging around the campground, firewood should not be a problem.......
Marlene and I are both looking so forward to this and just sitting around the deck and campfire, trying our best to just forget about insurance companies, medical bureaucracies and all the rest of this past year and just enjoy the woods and friends...see ya there..AAIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
