Food for harvest party

Who is in charge of the food for the 11/2 event?  I can make something.  Just let me know!

 

Stay busy, get plenty of exercise, and don't drink too much.  Then again, don't drink too little.  ~Herman "Jackrabbit" Smith-Johannsen

I wanted to make something too. I was thinking of a pumpkin stuffed with cheese and bacon... Any objections?

Mm, sounds good.

Ok, thanks, James!

I was thinking Benderbrau if it's an ale, Botweiser if it's a lager.

Thanks for the offers, please feel free to chip in and prepare a dish.

We will have a lot of smoked pork shoulder, so consider things that go with smoked pork.

I will be making a veggie lasagna and roasting a pan of potatoes and winter fruits. A cheesy casserole and/or wild rice medley would round things out nicely if anyone wants to jump on the side dish bandwagon (feel free to ignore my advice and run with it.).

Dessert is wide open. We're usually light on snacky stuff.

Party starts at 5pm on Saturday, so please drop off your food from 4-6pm. We should have people at the brewhouse Friday night and early Saturday if you want to drop off your food early.

If dessert is still wide open, I guess I willl do some applie pies.  Do you have an estimate for how many people are coming?

It's getting harder to estimate turn-out because most people have realized they can register right before the party. However, we have traditionally drawn 100-150 people.

Please don't feel like you have to cook enough to feed 150 people. If you want to take it to that level, we have a budget for food, so let us know what you are planning to make and provide an estimate of your food costs. Once we confirm you're in budget, just save your receipts to get reimbursed.

I know that last year Mel and I (and a few others at the BH, we had an apple cooking party!) made about 6 or 8 apple pies and we had some left over. 

Oh... my... god.  Why haven't we done this?    http://thechive.com/2013/09/17/guys-rig-up-buddies-plumbing-with-beer-wh...

If you have less hands on deck this time, cobbler is sweet and easy.

I am going to be cooking at the brewhouse Friday afternoon/evening. A few of us are meeting Thursday to make sure all the bar gear is ready, and I'm planning on kegging my beer then.

If anyone wants to cook at the brewhouse, we do have a stove and a fridge. One less thing to bring game day...

I really thought we did a much larger number of pies last year.  We can definitely do at least 6-8 pies.

I was thinking Benderbrau if it's an ale, Botweiser if it's a lager.
