Group/Community Meals Lake Powell Trip 2013

[redmule]

Matt, as far as the silverware go, each person could just bring a set from their cabin...  Same with plates or glasses...  I'm fine with plastic, but it's an option...   

Cole slaw and chips OK for a side with the pulled pork??

We will do fried onions and potatoes for the fish fry.

[TRITOON]

We will bring coleslaw to the fish fry and maybe some cornbread if possible. We could all each bring our own place settings to each meal so that everyone has what they want. just a suggestion.

So, I didn't intend to fill each day with group meals but it appears as though we have.  I hope this is o.k. - you are free to reconsider if you signed up for something that you no longer want to.

Updated group meal schedule:

Saturday, April 27 -- Arrival day.  Each unit on your own.
Sunday, April 28 -- Gyros/burgers/chicken and corn on the cob (menrats)
Monday, April 29 -- Ham and all the sides (TheMerlotKid/Freshwater)
Tuesday, April 30 -- Pulled pork sandwiches (Wadefisherman) and the sides, e.g. cole slaw and chips (Chris, Tom)
Wednesday, May 1 --  Spaghetti (WallyG) or Pasta dish (cousinlll).  Sides including lettuce salad, dressing, and garlic bread (mrokusek - all sides)
Thursday, May 2 -- Tacos (Tritoon)
Friday, May 3 -- Fish fry, fried potatoes/onions (themerlotkid), and coleslaw/cornbread (tritoon)
Saturday, May 4 -- Departure day.  Each unit on your own.

I will bring the paper plates, plastic forks, and napkins for all meals - it'll just be easier then having to wash dishes afterwards.

menrats - did you want any help on sides or your meal?  That could be a lot of work on your first fishing day. 

Now check my time but I read that sunset time is 7:11pm at Lake Powell in late April.  Does that sound correct?  Is setting a dinner time of 7:15 or 7:30 ok?  Is that too late?  Too early?  I'd like to make sure it's a time everyone will be o.k. typically getting there around that time.

Also, cousinlll, did you say you had a table we could use to put the food on?  Would like to have that setup or known Saturday evening so it's ready for the first meal on Sunday.  The table will be right alongside the plates, forks, and napkins so whoever's meal it is can have it all ready.

We are bringing a 6 foot table that can be used where needed.

Way to go guys, I'm not fat enough! This should add to my fat layer  thanks Matt for putting this together.

Just caught up on the reading. Looks like my group will be doings whatever to fill in the gaps. I've had some issues with my house . Dick is trying to get in the clubhouse so he can pipe in. We could pick up the utensils and condiments or whatever to make it fair . Thoughts?

[menrats]

thx matt. the only help I might need is with the corn. u soak it the peel the husk back pull out the silk butter and lime salt it and wrap husk back and pop on the grill to heat. this is a process. the rest is chopping cukes and tomatoes and heatin the gyro meat. no sweat total time 1.5 hours 2 scotchies and 3 beers. we could perhaps have someone do a pan of brownies for afterwords? someone with an oven.

Since I'll be fishing with menrats, I'll help prepare that meal on Monday.  Tom, I can bring corn on the cob if you bring main dish.  I can make brownies as well.  I'm assuming they have a normal stove there right?  Need me to bring charcoal and fluid?

Halibut Warrior - could you take over sides on the Wed, May 1 meal?  It's salad, dressing, and garlic bread.  Short prep time so hopefully wouldn't lose much time fishing.
