Date--- April 28th, 2012 ****NOTE: Saturday this time!*****
Place-- BURLESON, TX. (South of Fort Worth and west of I-35)
Since it is a private residence we will not be posting her exact address here, we will dmail it to those planning to attend.
Time--- Noon or later
Eat at 1:30 - 2pm (Electricity is available, but not for cooking only warming)
Here is the trade thread link(s)... #1 http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1240847/
and #2 http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1248592/
There will be no door charge, and our hostess will furnish coffee, tea, cups, plates, napkins and plastic ware.
Bring your folding tables, chairs and wagons if you have them. Sybil does have a lot of tables for eating but we need more for plants and chairs for extra seating.
Plenty of space for parking is available, a large pavillion with electricity next to her house where we will be able to access a bathroom and running water! You will pull up in the drive, unload, then cars will be moved to another area. Thank you Frank for being our parking attendant last year!
Also bring door prizes (one per guest) for a drawing later. Something small low cost, and suitable for man or women please.

Nopalitos salad + something else, depending on
what others bring so there wont be duplication
Anyone heatd from Sybal and

Burleson area should have missed the storms- though Cleburne can get messy, there is no power to a lot of homes tho
I will bring Louisiana Jambalya with chicken.
I will bring a dessert. :)
I will bring a brown rice with mixed vegetables casserole.
Veggies and dip
It will be Richard's birthday on Sunday (29th), so I'll bring a cake.
Oh and it's a big one (40!) so we'll have to sing really loud and embarrass him :)

Do we need to wear black, too?
I will bring a bucket of chicken, I am not cooking much lately. I can also bring soda.
C
If cheryl is bringing chicken, then make my jambalaya of the shrimp type.
I will bring ham for sure and maybe a dish of potato salad if I have time to make it that morning.
I will bring either a cobbler or a goat cheesecake, and I will bring some of my blueberry chevre, don't know what catagory that is, but it is a killer appetizer.
Joy
Trying to get someone to feed the bottle babies so my DH can come as well.
I am bringing a friend. She has just moved and loves irises.
I will be attending with my dad.
LOL, yes Stephanie and can you bring the funeral music as well :)
It's been a long time since I turned 40, but I had a singles group at church in Waco that surprised me at my house after work. Sprinkled flour in my hair, put granny glasses and a shawl around me and sat me in a rocker. My cake had black roses and candles and my gifts were depends, fixodent, magnifying glass, corn patches, etc....on and on! We had a blast laughing.
Sorry off topic, but had to share. :-)
I'll bring cold drinks plus 1 hubby.
Sheila...do you dare show us a picture? That is a great story!
LOL Anna! No...not because I wouldn't, but no time to find them now.
LOL WOW Phyllis, being my blind self and having my monitor magnified to
XXX percent , for a minute I tpught you had written you will
bring the cold beer !!!!
.
I have edited the names of the people attending, please check it out.
Also we have no drinks and ice and we seem to be short on other items, please check that too.
Josephine.

I will bring drinks.
Who's bringing the air conditioning?
No Sopillla Cheesecake? Well, for all of you youngen' that don't know what it is that you have been missing, guess it is time you learned!!!
Put me down for a sopilla (I'm home-grown TEXAN & don't spell Mexican) cheesecake, if I can drive up & cook one!!!
If not, I bring something else!!!
:~)
We were just waiting on you to volunteer to bring it! Didn't want to step on your toes or anything. :)
Oh GOODIE !!!
Your sopaipilla cheesecake is LEGENDARY !!
THAT alone would be reason to drive far for.
Cant wait to try it.
Will there be UNsweet tea ?
There will be unsweet tea, Baja..
I have another guest--my wonderful daughter-in-law, Kathy.
Phyllis wonders if anyone has a start of a broom bush?
Also, Phyllis is bringing a dish (I don't know what), and I'm bringing a tuna casserole.
If y'all want, I just dug a bunch of potatoes and onions from the garden, I can make "homemade" potato salad instead of a goat cheese platter or cheese straws. Any is easy peasy, just need a preference.
Joy
I will bring a cucumber and tomato salad. If anything else is needed please let me know..
Thank you Trish, that sounds great!!
Joy whatever is easiest for you, but I think homemade potato salad would rock! Remember, though, there's no way to keep it cool.
Joy, since you are coming from Waco, just an ice chest should work for the trip to Burleson....plus we eat early also. I won't bring a potato salad if you are sure you will. I already signed up for a ham, so that's enough.
Sheila, I will be coming from Hempstead, but plan on using an ice chest. Depending on the bowl size I end up with, I will probably nest it in ice once it is there. I am already boiling potatoes and stole eggs from our selling fridge to boil as well. I make a great old fashioned potato salad, y'all will like it. Was planning on Maple Bacon cheesecakes but since Smockette is bringing her cheesecake, I will use some of our fruit and make a cobbler for dessert.
See ya' soon,
Joy
That sounds great Joy, but please don't go to a lot of trouble.
No trouble, I love to cook, and enjoy making a wide range of things. We have blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and peaches in the freezer from last year and a cobbler is super easy. The hard part is not eating it with Bluebell when it first comes out of the oven.
Joy
