Ilaine Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 We now have a full complement of ten different and varied chilis for the picnic - Thank you everybody!So how about them sides? Take a look at Porcupine's suggestions for ideas. We're also going to want some more beer to wash it all down, so that when the pigs emerge from the roaster we'll be primed. I'll bring corn sticks and a case of White Stag IPA, the perfect accompaniment to chili. And another person, my son (adult). In addition to the pot of Thermonuclear Chili.Pan, actually. We've got one of those wire thingies that holds an aluminum foil pan over cans of Sterno. It calls itself a chafing dish but that's too snooty for this contraption. Does anybody need us to bring a Coleman stove (2 burner)? Also, can corn sticks be made in advance and frozen? (The ones that are shaped like corn.)

Ilaine Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 seriously, though, what is this beer? google turns up nada.My mistake, it's White Hawk. Cascade and fuggle hops, very tasty. I am a "hophead", I admit it! And not that fond of malt. Many otherwise tasty beers are ruined, to my taste, by too much malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Also, for the mandatory pig product contribution, and not content to bring some pork belly casserole, or a ham, AGM this time wanted to present us with a full-on pig roast. Woo-hoo! This is most the exciting thing to happen at a dr.com picnic since, well maybe since the KeithB's ventworm cake! But wait. There's more! Team AGM shall not be alone. Team JG will also be doffing aprons and vying for top pig honors. That's right - a snout-to-snout Piggie Smackdown! Each team will assemble their roasters, concoct their own secret marinades and rubs and head off into their respective corners to smother those piggies in hot coals. I've heard rumors that there may even be some professional chef-consultants involved, but we'll have to wait to hear more about that from the teams. We, the picnic attendees, will be in the enviable position of judging the results of both roast pigs. Team JG throws down the guantlet. While the particulars of Team JG's pig preparation will remain a secret, the identities of the members of the team shall not. Team JG includes (in addition to draft choices to be named later) mdt and celebrity chef John Wabeck (Johnny Rooks) of Firefly. I predict that our Team will win.

zoramargolis Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Our estimable Organizer-in-Chief (Crackers) has completed an inventory of supplies on hand, and determined that we are need of the following items: sturdy paper plates (200)** paper towel rolls (4-6) disposable table cloths to fit long picnic tables (10)** plastic knives (100) quart-size zip lock bags: one box large, heavy duty trash bags (10) plastic wrap (one roll) foam or heavy paper bowls, 8-12 oz.

crackers Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Our estimable Organizer-in-Chief (Crackers) has completed an inventory of supplies on hand,Organizer-in-Chief? I guess that makes me the Big OinC? Appropriate enough. Thank all of you who have so graciously offered to bring supplies in addition to your food/beverage contributions! After further reflection it looks like we will need about 200 of those divided plates for the chili tasting (you know, the ones that have three separate sections, so the foods don't touch each other for those "picky eater" types?) Can anybody bring those? We can serve up three chili tastings at one time that way. Please PM Zora to let her know as soon as you have figured out what you're thinking of bringing so she can post it, and also so that Goldenticket can print up stick-on labels to put on each dish as it arrives. If something is vegan or vegetarian or has a secret (not obvious) ingredient that might cause one of the more well-known allergies or religious objections (peanuts, nuts, chocolate, shellfish, pork, alcohol, what else?) that would be helpful to indicate too. And since we now have the two Pig Smackdown teams planning like maniacs behind the scenes...is it time to organize a post-piggie First Annual Tug of War in the event of a tie?

Well, I will have spent most of the preceding day impersonating an athlete, and the remainder of the day dulling the pain I expect to inflict on myself with single malt whisky. So this member of Team Stachowski will have to sit this one out, although I'll happily cheer from the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral Stairs Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Looks like I'll be able to come, with one wife and one baby in tow. You'll know me from the screaming infant in one arm and spit-up stains on the other. As for food, I'll be bringing a few bottles and a selection of milks. And some adult food too, though I cannot say what until I accurately measure the degree to which I am willing to subject my paltry cooking skills to the critique of experts.

Bring interesting condiments that taste good with grilled chicken, genuine Smithfield ham and hot roasted pork. Store-bought would be welcome for those who are culinarily- or time-challenged. We have some chow-chow, slaws and bbq sauce coming, and I've heard that one of our finest home-chefs is bringing homemade roasted tomato-chile adobo.
