Group/Community Meals Lake Powell Trip 2013

[One Last Cast]

Hi all,

Sorry to be so late to the party but it took time to get into the club site. It sounds like you have all out distanced Joe, my brother and myself as far as supporting the main meals. We can bring any sides you might like or support one of the meal preparers as extra hands and contibute to the food cost in any way we can. It would be better if all three of us did something together with one of the group so our boat will only be in early on one day, but then again, some of you may also have more than one day in the kitchen since I do not know how thw split works out with each cabin.

Any ways Im on board now and will support any way I can.

Dick, welcome to the site!  I'm sure Matt will jump in here & give you some direction.

For now, if Wally G doesn't come along on this trip it looks like your group will be paired with me for Wednesday's pasta night.  I was thinking a side salad along with a truck load of garlic bread would be great with the pasta dish I have planned.

And Matt, I'll also bring my 5' folding table....

We can always use some desserts, seem to get a sweet tooth after fishing all day. Ok,ok, that is BS, I always have a sweet tooth.  😛

I'll be in charge of the garlic bread LLL, and make it a one ton long bed:) I also have a couple folding tables to through in,

Dick/sauerrj - Could you bring dessert type items for Mon-Fri meals?  I don't think it needs to be anything elaborate or too much - at least something that if it doesn't get eaten one night it might the next.  Not critical either so if we eat it all the first couple days then not a big deal.  We'll have a lot of food.

HallibutWarrior - Are you bringing salad too for the Wed meal or just bread?  Either you or sauerrj I'd say sign up for salad.

Updated group meal schedule:

Saturday, April 27 -- Arrival day.  Each unit on your own.
Sunday, April 28 -- Gyros/burgers/chicken (menrats), corn on the cob (mrokusek), brownies (mrokusek)

We my have to play this by ear as some will want to fish to just before dark while others may come in earlier.  They will also need time to clean & freeze their catch.  That's probably a good overall time though.  Probably will need to keep some stuff warm/cold for the late supper crowd.  There were a few times on our previous trips we were eating supper in the dark after a long day on the water w/ a stop at the cleaning station.

So for the fish fry on Friday, what we've done in the past is boats would reserve a small portion of their catch for the community fish fry.  Last year, Dave & I  kept some of the Smallies, big bluegills & walleyes in reserve to share.  Also on the last day, boats would usually come in a bit earlier than normal to start packing & rest a bit before the long drive home the next morning.

I see from Matt's list that The Merlot Kid is frying potatoes/onions, Tritoon is taking care of the cole slaw & cornbread w/ Dick feeding our sweet tooth.  So my question is, who is doing the frying?  Probably would be good to have two friers going.  I have one fryer & have also placed an order with my friend who is currently Crappie fishing on Kentucky Lake to bring back some of their killer fish fry breading.

Ok,

Looks like My brother and myself as well as Joe are signed up for bread, salad for the pasta meal with Larry and all the meals deserts. Something like canned fruit, cake, various cookies, other suggestions???

Talked to Wally today and it is very unlikely he can make it unless a snow storm hits the east. So think we should not include him in any final plans.

I have fryer if you want another unit for french frys, fish or whatever.

I assume each person should take responsibility for his own beverages and any special snacks like candy, nuts, chips, etc. should be handled by each cabin along with breakfast and lunch fixings

[Halibut Warrior]

Yep, I'll handle the salad for Wed night pasta. And bring a couple folding tables too.

[wadefisherman]

The frying saucer will be stowed and ready if needed. Do you have a second tee to tap off of? Got a new burner they sent to me to break in.
