Kitchen Equipment:

pans

   Surely the people who've done this before have cookware they're willing to camp with...  although I can pack my kitchen if nobody steps up. --Randy

      If memory serves, Dave & Sof brought a box full of cookware last year. Also, I'm in touch with the lick n suck folks -- I'll ask them what they'll have available for us to use. maybe we can leave some stuff behind. --Matt

   I'm most likely going to subscribe to the "radical self-reliance" philosophy and bring kitchen stuff.  I don't know the lick n suck folks yet, and I'm not willing to assume they will meet my needs without also having a backup plan. --Randy

 We have cookware we will bring, but you should let me know what you need, in case you need to bring extra. That goes for others too I guess.. I can bring several cast iron skillets, a large pot, a medium pot, spoons and ladle and flipper. - Sofia

  It would be good to have your comal.  I'm making the corn fritter dough, so we'll have those corn fritters with Friday dinner.  Although the iron skillet can work.  --Randy

  I actually want breakfast Thursday morning, so I'm bringing what I need for breakfast for four.  --Randy

 

 

 

   Matt/Edwin, I have a 5 qt stock pot that needs one end of a handle welded back on.  Can one of you do that? --Randy

 

      Probably, but if it's stainless steel we'd need an inert gas welding rig or we'll blacken the metal really badly. And it's a little trickier to do. Edwin's worked with stainless a little bit; I just know the theory. You could also just drill a hole and attach it with short bolts; that might be quicker and easier. --Matt

 

stoves

    Sofia and Dave will bring a two burner stove

tables  ----how many?

    Sofia and Dave will bring a large one and a card table

coolers 

    Sofia and Dave will bring two

    Others are bringing more,  I assume..?

    We're bringing two large coolers. I think many others are bringing coolers as well. -Matt

    Beth and I are bringing four.  Breakfast for 20 and dinner for 20 takes a lot o room.  --Randy

dish washing and rack

    Sofia and Dave will bring the giant roasting pans we used last time. And a few dish towels. Dish rack isn't practical since we couldn't bring one big enough to accomodate this many people. -sofia

grey water cleanup? - Sodium said not to worry too much about grey water cleanup, although I think we should minimize it wherever practical. --Randy

trash / recycling

Preferred Snacks:

cheese and crackers (Yes! Lots of it!)

buffalo jerky (Turkey Jerky option would be nice)  I plan to make beef and turkey jerky.  If anyone prefers buffalo to beef, they need to get me a supplier of raw buffalo. --M

nuts - raw and salted

granola bars  I plan to make homemade granola.  I will look into making bars of said granola. -- M

hardboiled eggs (I'll pack the 10 kinds of salt I still have from the tasting  :>  ) -- bel

fruit - fresh and dried

veggies

little pudding and applesauce cups?

 I like to avoid excess packaging, how about big jars of applesauce? -sofia

chips and salsa

    My first flipside had a big camp bowl of corn & blackbean salsa with a Sofia-appreciable level of avocado chunks.  The salsa kept the avocado green, even overnight.  Super yummy! --sheilagh

M&M's!

hummus

Does anyone else want cereal? -sofia

    Sure! Might be nice if people get up late/early and can't get in on a big group breakfast thingy. Or just don't want eggs, etc. -Matt

 

 

Dietary Issues:

IS THERE ANYONE COMING WHO HAS PROBLEMS WITH WHEAT OR MILK? -RZ

 

I've herard rumors that you make excellent mac 'n' cheese! - sofia

That's funny, I haven't made mac 'n' cheese since I became an Odd One -RZ

 

 -- would rather non-dairy options, if feasible, or warnings that whatever tasty food has dairy --sheilagh

Bel - no onions or walnuts

Randy - diabetes - need to focus on proteins (meat, cheese), good fats, and lo-carb veggies.  Sweet corn and potatos are not lo-carb veggies, btw.

Mindy - no raisins none none none ......  and I will be on the lots o protein side of the table as well, for similer reasons

 

Rob - no legumes

David - is vegetarian (eats cheese and eggs)

Susan - No uncooked nuts or uncooked onions

Marla - No Mammal

Corprew -- allergic to wheat.

Michelle - My list is disturbing. 

 

Everyone brings their own plates, bowls and utensils and cleans them

 

Drinks:

 

Everyone should bring their own water. (I would prefer not to make 3 trips again. - Silona)

 

Lemonade/Gatorade?

Last year I brought juice, which no one drank until we watered it down, and vitamin water which I brought mostly for myself but shared, and that was popular. -sofia

I'm bringing homemade juice for the breakfasts, there will probably be extra.  --Randy

 

Notes from 23-Feb meeting:

 

We should plan ahead for breakfasts and dinners, and just graze for lunch. There will be a sign-up on the Wiki so people can volunteer to cook one or more meals for the camp.

 

 

What kind of arrangements did you all have this last time? What improvements and/or changes would you like to see? What did you see others try that did or did NOT work? -- bel

 

In general food went well, but we had too much of it. We should also probably do a bit more advance meal planning. -- Tall Matt

 

Can you define "too much" and "bit more"? :> Was there group food planning along with personal food planning? Were any meals cooked? Was there a supply and equipment list where people signed up to bring things? -- bel

 

Silona was in charge of all the food; she did all the shopping and we reimbursed her. She did a great job, but we probably had 50% more food than we needed. Better to err on that side than running out, though! We planned some meals in advance -- breakfast was fairly well mapped out, lunch was mostly random sandwichy stuff, and as I recall the dinners were also planned somewhat. Most of the breakfasts and dinners were cooked. Lunches, less so. -- Tall Matt

 

I want to make Jerky! Turkey and Beef, unless someone can get me some other meat. I also want to look into makeing some sort of bread. Because that would be nifty to have fresh-made bread with a meal. -- Michelle

 

I'd say make the dough beforehand and freeze it. Biscuits would probably be the easiest to do. -- Tall Matt

 

I was thinking flat breads. -- M

 

There are easy ish flat breads and most quick breads can be cooked in a dutch oven, griddle cakes and such are very easy. One thing we used to do for SCA was make a freeze stew ingrdients for faster cooking on site, and set up night was always stone soup. -Mi

 

Some of the Indian recipes I've got could be done on-site (with some prep), if anybody's interested... -- Randy

 

Pre-Event Food Prep:

I now have a Jack Lalane Juicer and a Foodsaver thingie.  If someone needs to prep food ahead of time and vacuum-seal it, it's available. -- Randy

If anyone is preping food in Austin on Wednesday or Thursday, I'd be happy to help with cutting/mixing/support. --sheilagh

Good, michelle and i could use your help. -sofia

Sheilagh, are we still on for indian cooking tonight (Monday, May 19)?  I've updated my contact info on the wiki... -RZ
