Group/Community Meals Lake Powell Trip 2013

[OneBlade]

OK guys we are close to done on this.  Thanks for your patience. 

Yes, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and all beverages are on your own.  You may want to coordinate at least coffee by trailer.   As for dessert - yeah I think things that aren't big effort and can be put away and brought out following night.  If you feel adventurous, you could do something like a pie (frozen freezer section) and bake in the oven but may not go far and expensive.  Ice cream, ice cream bars, etc. would be great but not sure how you'll get them up there.  Pastries from Costco or Sams might be good.   

sauerrj - I wasn't planning on bringing bowls or spoons (for ice cream) - but if you want me to let me know.

Wadefisherman - if sauerrj brings his frier, I'm not sure we need yours.  I'll put sauerrj down and 2nd one but I'm o.k. if you guys want to change that around.  Let me know.
sauerrj - Yes, please bring your frier, oil, batter, and anything else you need to be a 2nd frier. 
Cousinlll - you'll do the same?

You guys don't have to be stuck to the frier if you can train one of us watchers to help out.

You know one option to think about here while maybe a little more time consuming but fair would be everything to keep receipts and track of their costs and then we split the total 6 meals cost by those in attendance.  Any thoughts on this?  Would make it fair as some are chipping in with significant items.

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)
Monday, April 29 -- Ham and all the sides (TheMerlotKid/Freshwater), dessert (sauerrj)
Tuesday, April 30 -- Pulled pork sandwiches (Wadefisherman) and the sides, e.g. cole slaw and chips (Chris, Tom), dessert (sauerrj)
Wednesday, May 1 --  Pasta dish (cousinlll).  All sides including lettuce salad, dressing, and garlic bread , dessert (Halibut Warrior and sauerrj)
Thursday, May 2 -- Tacos (Tritoon), dessert (sauerrj)
Friday, May 3 -- Fish fry (cousinlll and sauerrj will bring friers, oil, batter, etc.), fried potatoes/onions (themerlotkid), and coleslaw/cornbread (Tritoon), dessert (sauerrj)
Saturday, May 4 -- Departure day.  Each unit on your own.

Paper plates, plastic forks, and napkins for all meals (mrokusek)
Table (Tritoon, cousinlll, Hallibut Warrior)

OK, meal preparers please have the meal ready by 7:30pm at least on the 1st night and if we think it's too early or late we can shift as long as entire group knows.   Yes, I'm o.k. if people want to fish late, take time to clean fish, etc.  Just trying to time it so most folks will be all cleaned up and ready to eat so food doesn't get cold.

Cousinlll - you'll do the same?

Already in work!  Will have my fryer, propane bottle w/ additional outlets to connect to another fryer or two and as you have already read have a lite fish breading on order.

[menrats]

so how many folks do we have all told. 12?

[menrats]

smoking idee: one day when the weather is good we should make a thirty mile run early as a group and then do a shore lunch at oneish somewhere, cool eh?

[cousinlll]

I think we're at 14 people.

[One Last Cast]

Got my assignments. I'm on for a fryer and oil, batter for the fish fry. Our cabin will take on the deserts, bread and salad for the pasa meal.

For deserts I was thinking of non refrigerated/frozen stuff. Costco pastries, cupcakes, pies that can be warmed up, large cans of fruit 2 varieties and cookies for 6 suppers. Ice cream would be nice but a probable pain to transport and very costly if bought at the marina. Individuals could buy this if they liked to add to the pies, cakes, fruit etc. I would rather not brings bowls and spoons if not required but if group elects to do this I will see what I can put together. 12 to 14 is a big number although we could get paper and plastic if desired.

The idea of spliting the entire costs of all the suppers equally is not a bad idea. I am in for that one.

Thanks sauerrj.  I'll be doing brownies on Sunday meal and splitting that meal with menrats so no need for you to bring dessert that first group meal on Sunday.

Menrats will be BBQing steaks at his campsite Saturday night.  Anyone interested in BBQ Sat night?  C'mon you have all week to fish so stay in and have a few while we talk about all the fish we're gonna catch.

I count 14 people confirmed and up to 16 if Wheatthin and friend show up.  Right now, assume 14 people for the group meals and if they respond here soon, we can add them in.  I'm sure we'll have extra food.  See latest post at:

We had one vote to split the cost of the meals.  I'll await more input before making it a decision.

We will provide our meal without expecting anything to be reimbursed, that just adds more complications. We feel that by providing our meal that makes up for the food we do not have to provide for the rest of the week so it all works out with no worrying about trying to keep track and having to calculate it out.

I'm with Tritoon.
