2014 Lake Powell - Meal Planning

[cousinlll]

We had some really outstanding suppers last trip and I'd like to know if everybody is up for the group supper plan again this year?

To review, we assigned a couple people/boats to come in early from fishing on one certain day to cook supper for the rest of our crew.  They provided a complete meal for that evening.  After cooking supper on their assigned day, supper duty was passed on to another group/boat leaving them free to fish longer into the day knowing supper will be ready for them when they get back that evening.

All breakfast, lunch & beverages of choice will be your own responsibility.

Due to people's varied arrival times on Saturday - supper for that day on you.

We usually have a fish fry on the last evening there, which is Friday.  We ask that you keep a very small portion of your weeks catch in reserve for the fish fry.  Any leftovers from the weeks suppers are also finished up that night.  But if you would like to bring a side dish for that day, please let us know.

So this leaves 5 evening suppers to plan for.  Please let us know if you're willing to be part of the group supper or if you plan on going it alone, which is fine also.

Look's like this year we have around 19 people going on this trip to plan meals for.

I'll take the 1st crappie weather day or Tuesday. As long as I have an oven that works this year. I already have 2 pork shoulders ready for pulled pork and possibly a brisket if I feel like cooking all that. I'm flexible on the date if some folks need to cook up some stuff right away.

Freshwater & the Merlot Kid would do on Monday

We'll also need a couple extra folding tables, paper plates & utensils to share with the group

[freshwater]

We will have a 6' folding table along and a Frying Saucer

[OneBlade]

I will bring paper plates, paper bowls, napkins, forks, spoons, and knives.

Are we skipping Sunday (wasn't listed for the days to signup)?  I guess let's see how many sign up for meals and we go from there.  Also, just so we don't duplicate meals, include what you might bring (Freshwater/MerlotKid).

[OneBlade]

Menrats and I will bring Elk, Bison, and Blue Cheese burgers, fettucinni, and a green side.  Anybody know the grill situation at the trailers or where Freshwater/MerlotKid will be camped out?  We'd like to BBQ them but need a large enough grill.  We'd like to do Sunday.  Here's the updated schedule and what everyone is bringing:

Saturday, April 26th - Arrival day with supper being your own responsibility

Sunday (Menrats and OneBlade) -  BBQ burgers, fettucinni, and green side.

Monday (Freshwater and MerlotKid) - what is the main dish?

Tuesday (Wadefisherman) - 2 pork shoulders for pulled pork and possibly a brisket

Wednesday (Fish Hawk, Sparkchaser & LLL) - Cavatini, garlic bread & side salad

Thursday -

Friday - Fish fry!  Mike & Debbie have volunteered to bring their fryer & do the frying.  Eat any leftovers.  Might need a couple side dishes??

Saturday, May 3rd - Leave for home!

OneBlade -- Paper plates, forks, spoons, knives, bowls, napkins
Freshwater/MerlotKid -- 6' folding table along and a Frying Saucer
LLL - another folding table

All breakfast, lunch & beverages of choice will be your own responsibility.

Reminder, plan right now for 19 people.

Last year we said meal time was 7:30pm but not sure if that's what resulted.  Seems a little late but I think we can try that again.  I'm open to suggestions if we want to bump that up to 7pm.
