Please let us know what you are bringing so we can update the list.
Please let us know if you see we missed anything.
Thank you,
George and Ed
My wife Marie will be making a Sour Cream Cake & bringing it over. We're coming over on Friday, so there's no way we can bring anything that needs refrigeration. I'll check with Paul & see what he & his wife might bring. Again, I'm still willing to shop Stuarday morning.
of those attending, who are local besides george and bigweeze? are these the only two locals?
we can bring one 18x36" igloo ice chest, and a couple dessert selections.
IF there are going to be children who are interested, I can bring Disney DVDs.
As I have replied, I will be bringing some 'Kosher' food, like Hebrew National franks, and some turkey burgers. If anyone else is interested is this sort of food, I have plenty to go round.
I will also bring Hummus and some dip for the veggies and chips.
Ed: If we need 3 canopies and no one signs up for the 3rd I might be able to bring an extra one. We have one that we used at the Bills/Giants tailgate and the wind messed it up a bit. But I think it is serviceable. Let me know.
just got in another 3 pds of trout. looks likew ill be bringing enough for all. that includes LENN, i mean if fresh caught speckled trout isnt kosher , nothing is.
I'll bring some cigars. Whose up for a stogie?
St. Louis Rey Churchills will be the selection de jour.
How many of u Bros wil be indulging?

no thanks for us on the cigars

So Phyllis finally quit? lol
im probably the only one around here that is still so addicted to nicotine that i still smoke, unfortunately and even i dont touch stogies. but thanks for the offer. you migfht still find someone to join you for a heater as long as you dont get near my 2 great nephews. do that and my sister in law will strangle you! :yes: :D
I'm going to respectfully ask that all smokers, cigarettes or cigars, please smoke in the front yard. I promise you'll still be able to see just about everything !!! Thank you in advance.
not a problem. dont be shy about reminding me if i forget.
Vette...what? she quit? I was thinking only of me!!!
g.g., does that for Lenn as well? Cause when he gets on a roll, I swear i c smoke comin' out of his ears... :what:

Wait till you see how George C. Scott portraits him in the movie. Powerful performance!

LOL, I would like to see that Jaime. I'm sure the smoke coming out of Lenn's ears isn't toxic... just thick !!!
.
g.g., if u want to get Lenn fired up, just talk bout a couple of his faves, like Sintim, Barden, & Beckum. Lenn's all time whipping boy, was CB Bruce Johnson. Lenn would work himself into a state of frenzy giving out a truly impressive tongue lashing re; Johnson.
Lenn, nice pic <:-P
Jaime, you had to mentioned that name again. Bruce Johnson, the lone Johnson on the Giants. :laugh:
my neighbor CARL is a fishing nut. he goes out after trout 5 days a week, weather permitting. he just dropped off a couple more pounds of trout so i will definately be bringing a goodly supply.
Quote from: LennG on July 18, 2012, 03:41:51 PM
Jaime, you had to mentioned that name again. Bruce Johnson, the lone Johnson on the Giants. :laugh:
I'm thinking of having a banner size photo of B Johnson just for Lenn's appreciation and enjoyment !!!
g.g, u hang that banner...stand back & watch Lenn go postal!
Het, no fair. If you are going that route, you MUST also have a banner of Barden for Jim
In fact. bigger than the one for Bruce. :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
Lenn, tru daht, fair is fair. I can only speak for myself (& maybe Lenn?), I wouldn't want Jim to feel unloved. :no:
another stop by my neighbor carl, 3 more trout dropped off so we WILL be bar b q ing trout!
No, you will be BBQ'ing Trout.
Did you consult the Drakester for the lemon recipe?
i talked to the drake this morning . hes in cortland for a family wedding. doesnt know if he can make it or not. i think he should just so i dont have to cook but if i have to well, the huddle comes first.
oh and i got a local rabbi to bless the trout or sprinkle kosher water or whatever they do that makes it kosher....................at least he SAID he was a rabbi, but then again hed been drinking for a few hours and i dont really know the guy and.................. :ok:
my neighbor just stopped by again, gave me another 6 fillets. i thanked him profusely and told him no more, ive got enough. so make no mistake here guys we have a lot of trout. this fish is really mild and even though ive obviously frozen it, i put the fillets in big ziplock bags, cover them in tap water and then take cloths pins to hold the bag up in the freezer so they are totally covered in water while they freeze. this way there is NO freezer burn. so please be prepared to eat fish!
Take a look at the head count, Weeze. I'd figure a max of one filet per person. You don't want to buy an extra seat for the fish.
Do we have a headcount?? I told our deli person to plan on portions for 30... is that too low??
The last count we have is 24 adults. How much are they charging us for the fruit, salad and desert trays per person?
I told her to plan on about 35 or so people... I can cut that down as we get the actual count... she's also preparing the chicken to be bbq'd, the cheese platter etc. I didn't get a price, I know she'll be fair about it. If it doesn't amount to what we asked for a donation from the members, we can refund some bucks.
Also, as I said in another thread. If anyone knows how to get in touch with Anita Marks or any of the writers or tv personalities, please feel free to invite them to the bbq as our guests.
do we have George's address/ directions yet? if so, where is it please?
Quote from: President Rick on July 22, 2012, 11:20:39 AM
do we have George's address/ directions yet? if so, where is it please?
George is sending it out on a pm or e-mail this week.
As I don't know the attendee list, either I can get the official list from Ed or you guys can email or pm me directly and I'll shoot you out the address, my number and the directions from camp.
looks like 3 weezes only.
You know, I think we are getting way too much food, once again. If Weeze is bringing his Kosher what-you-may-call-it's from the Everglades, don't you think we'd be getter off with a slightly less supply of food. You Are also having franks, burgers and chicken, salads, noshing stuff and then oodles of desserts, how much can one person eat.
If our head count is about 25 adults, i would limit the chicken, burgers and dogs, to about 15 people, plus Weeze's Kosher whatch-em-a call-it's (20 pounds at last count and still counting), I think that would be sufficient. I don't eat any of the meats.
Every year we all bring so much food and be have globs of it left over. hey if there are no burgers left, so people will eat something else. Why over buy and over spend??
The attendance list is on the other tread, George.
Len, you are right on. The salad order for about 25 people and we will not overbuy the meat. We can always take a trip to the store for more.
Just a question - Is weeze the one who determines what we eat?
Quote from: jimv on July 22, 2012, 06:38:12 PM

Don't mess with the Weeze, Jim.
What does a Weeze eat?
Anything he wants!
Seriously though, George has it covered. If you have any desire, put it down here.
Ed, IF I am reading the attendance list correctly, it shows 24 adults but the last update was on July 8th... IF that's correct, is that 24 still good? I've lost track of additions, deletions, etc. so I'm assuming we may be up to 30 or 35... Remember, I'm old and I get confused easily... the bbq is Sept. 5th, right? :crazy:
I have been updating everything. Check the math.
I dont understand your comment jim so maybe you can explain it to me?
im not sure exactly how much fish i have but its a bunch. figger some folks dont like it so there should be enough for anyone that wants it to avail themselves of a fillet or two. and besides we always seem to have more food then we need right?so dont let the fish have any bearing on what you guys plan to buy/cook, hey who knows maybe the cooler will get clipped in flight. never know these days.
You understood it, weeze. You answered it.

George, I checked it over and it looks like planning for about 25 looks good, am I right?
Thinking about this, in years past everybody brought food from a list and nobody wanted to be short on an item, so there was plenty left over.
With caterers handing the side stuff and us planning one item per person, it's doubtful we have piles of food left.
Hi. I plan to drive up from Harrisburg, PA, and attend the cookout (just me). Of the remaining items shown in red print on the original note, I can bring a card table and a medium-size cooler if you still need either of those things. Let me know.
Bob in PA
Also, Jamie, I do enjoy a cigar on occasion, so if you have an extra and wouldn't mind, I'd be glad to assist you in fumigating the front yard.

Please do Bob. It will be great to finally meet.
Ok Ed, that sounds good... I'll have the Deli plan on 30 as we may have some last minute additions... I will get the burgers, dogs and sausages as well here as well as the rolls, condiments... all this should easily be covered by the 'gate donation !!' hahaha...
Guys, as Ed and I pretty much discussed, you can bring your 'specialty items' and/or any desserts for everyone to enjoy, that's no problem at all. As for the basics, I think we have that covered. Also, chairs, coolers, canopies, small grills, anything like that will be helpful.
Also, anyone wanting directions, it would be a great help to me if you PM'd or emailed me your email address; mine is gdipietr@gmail.com. That might be the easiest as I have prepared a .pdf of the directions and I have taken photos of the route so it might make it a little easier to find my place from the UAlbany campus. As I stated before, getting to my place from UAlbany is super simple and won't take you more than 15 minutes.

I forwarded the directions to everyone attending the BBQ to their E-mail addresses on record with the site. If you remember, I asked that you all check to see if it's up to date. If you didn't get the directions, then PM or e-mail George or myself.
~ Ed
Thank you. I'm also looking forward to meeting all of you (except Len).
Bob in PA
PS. ,.... who I already know LOL
Ed was gracious enough to send out the directions/photos for me in one email. However, there may be some question as to whether or not the actual .pdf with the written directions went through.
If anyone can confirm [or deny] if they indeed did get the written directions please let us know. Otherwise, I can email them out individually to all those who need them.
I got the written directions, George!!! THANKS!!! Really, the pix did me no good.
