G2G Potluck Style

[picksthemusic]

You guys can vote:

Settler's beans (think baked beans, but turned up with hamburger and bacon) (jennlin, you can eat this)
Party Potatoes (think mashed potatoes, but turned up a notch - lots of butter/sour cream/cream cheese, etc)

Also, bringing M, 20 months. She's a busy girl, but I think she'll love hanging out with all the other littles. She especially loves babies!

potatos

[karebear219]

I plan on brining egg salad mini sandwiches

[karebear219]

Oh and I plan on bringing bkb who is 19 months, as long as she naps well.

It's cliche, but msniq did a lot of pickling this fall & winter (she does it every year). If there is anything left we'll make some sort of salad with pickled green beans and/or cucumbers.

Just me & msniq.

scratch brownies.

jus me

[7costanza]

Just me, and I'm planning on bringing Rice Crispy Treats, and maybe something else TBD.

If I'm forced to choose just one of picksthemusic's options, potatoes. But they both sound amazing!

[sarack]

picksthemusic - should I bring the other? you could give me the recipe?

[sarack]

i'm so bad. I crave bagels. I was thinking about those. or something fatty like cheeseburgers or something, lol.

Omg bagels with extra cream cheese!!!
If you don't bring those, maybe I will. Now I want one for dinner lol

I've been craving fruit. I will probably end up bring cantaloupe and some other fruit, and a fruit dip.

[jennlin]

The only thing I ever crave during pregnancy is sour candy, and pretzels. But that's boring.....I'll think of something better soon.

[picksthemusic]

sarack, I'm happy to give you the beans recipe. It's pretty easy but calls for a couple of ingredients that not everyone keeps in their kitchen. I'll PM you tomorrow.

Another "sour" craver here -- sour patch kids and grapefruit were my go to pregnancy foods. I just had a grapefruit a few days ago for the first time in a long time and it was good but I was disappointed it wasn't SOOOOO GOOOOD like I remembered from pregnancy.

[shevacc]

I'm really going to try to come. We'll be in Shoreline already that morning and I'm working on convincing DH to find something else he can do to entertain himself so G and I can attend. DH doesn't want to come with me.

It will likely be me and G (13.5 months old). We'll bring a dessert, probably brownies or cookies since they don't need to be kept cold, since we're leaving the house before 7am and won't have access to a refrigerator.

My main craving is milk, but I don't want I be a buzz kill and bring milk. It's boring and not everyone could drink it. I say sour candy sounds like it will hit the spot!

crunchy pretzels or soft pretzels? soft pretzels are so good, you can put all kinds of stuff on them ... mustard, marinara sauce & parmesan, honey & cinnamon, etc.

But not at the same time!

Mac'n cheese, possibly with bacon or some sort of sausage in it. Depends on if I can be bothered.

Maybe some sort of desserty type thing.

Scratch that. I'll try making dairy free clam chowder. If that goes well, I'll bring it. If not, I will bring something desserty.

And it'll be Thor and myself.

iloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyou.

you remembered!! (or it's a coincidence) that the food i miss most is clam chowder!

Yoga was canceled, so I can so floats & mac&cheese. But, it will not be dairy-free.

.

And I'm far away, so it will need to be warmed up when I get there.

i have a really fancy, modern invention called a microwave. will that work? or oven.

If I have time, I can do mac'n cheese too.

But I have to give some solidarity to my dairy-free sister. jennlin, I remembered. We'll see how it goes. It probably won't be exact or perfect but hopefully it works.

pregnancy hormones? or am i really crying because i love you? probably a little bit of both.

[jennlin]

I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOU'RE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well now you're not alone lol!

Jennlin - no cream cheese for you? It's in my Oreo balls but I can make a few with an alt receipe...
What about chocolate? I usually dip them in melted chocolate but can do almond bark instead...
(so yours would have Oreos, vanilla frosting made without milk, and almond bark...)

The other ones will be Oreos, cream cheese and I'll probably just use almond bark all around...

you are so sweet, but you don't need to alter the recipe for me! i'll have plenty to eat!

btw, if BJL didn't let me have chocolate, we would've weaned at 3 months

[niq]

If we bring a mustard based green beans & potato salad, are there too many starches?

It's delicious, but if there are too many potato/rice/etc dishes we can find something else.

I blame all wring words on Swype

I am bringing only clam chowder. I am too wiped to even start on the mac'n cheese after the day I've had.

@jennuinne is bringing Mac n cheese I believe.

[jennlin]

Un-stickied.
