Hey Sheila!! there you are, I am so glad to know that you will be able to attend.
Sheila! So glad you'll be there!
How about hot dogs? with so many people that might be a good thing, we could roast them there or I can bring them precooked in a slow cooker.
Josephine.
Hot dogs are good, especially if there will be kids.

Put me down for a ham. It will be baked and maybe smoked, depending on how the week goes.
Hot dogs would be great. Would you mind precooking them, I think it might be more straight forward. I'll have all the condiments.
O.K. I will bring precooked hot dogs and buns.
Josephine.

My "dessert" will be chilled watermelon from one of the melons I harvested a few days ago from my garden. :)
Looks like we might be short on drinks. I will bring some ice and bottled water. I just looked at the list and didn't read the whole thread, so if someone's already bringing those, let me know and I'll think of something else.
I will bring some chicken
Kate, which thread has the directions to your house?
Josephine.
Never mind I found it, Thanks.
Please don't forget to bring Tables, Chairs, Wagons and Door Prizes and of course food and plants.

For those who wanted my recipe :
Roasted Vegetable Recipe:
Cook up brown rice and add some turmeric and cumin so that it had a golden color
Roasted Vegetables
4 red peppers cut in strips or squares
2 sliced onions
grape tomatoes add in last 20 minutes and cook until blistered
Tossed with Paul Newman's Low Fat Asian Sesame Dressing,
Spread single layer on a baking sheet
Bake 425 F about 45 min. Mix every 15 - 20 minutes. Careful when you open the oven...very steamy!
Roasted Butternut Squash:
mix cubes with ~2 tbsp olive oil and a bit more than tbsp balsamic vinegar and kosher salt. Cook @ 400 on a baking sheet until tender ~ 30 min
Chickpeas
Drain can of chickpeas and rinse.
Heat chickpeas in saute pan until water is gone and are slightly toasted.
