NORTHERN CA Stockton RU food list

Hi all!
Gee I look forward to meeting you face to face! We thought it would be fun to feast on SALADS & DESERT for the potluck! So everyone bring your SPECIALITY! Please post what you will bring so we can minimize duplications. Make a nice big bowl......we will all want to sample your famous creation! Remember, September in Stockton is very warm, if you are bringing potato salad or something that will need to be kept cool, please bring it in a cooler with ice so we can sample it all day!!!!

Besides a SALAD or DESERT....Everyone should bring their own:

Drinks (it will most likely be hot, make sure to bring enough water too)
Sandwich or main dish (if you will want that, otherwise just feast on the potluck)
Hat and/or sunscreen, etc
Folding chairs and/or picnic blanket

Karen :~D

kachinagirl / Karen

Triple Chocolate Brownies


(Edited....Ha ha I am also bringing more than one dish, but I was afraid if I put the food I was really planning on bringing, everyone would think they HAD to bring more than one dish. I should have known "Dave's" gardners would be so gracious! You people are great....one thing for sure, we won't go hungry! LOL)

i will bring silverwear and plates for all and a green salad with walnuts, tri-tip, grapes, and feta with a balsamic dressing.

Anna. Yum.

(I'm going home with Anna....wait.....she would be bad for my diet!)

I make a killer ceviche dip, a darned good German potato salad, and to die for 5 cheese mac and cheese. Anyone have any preference for me to make/bring?

Preference? Like as in "choose one"? Seriously, Anne? Give me a break. I did not get this big by "choosing". HAR HAR

I think this thread is gonna be fattening :~)

lol

this is going to be a great RU!!

Not sure yet, I've gotta think on this, something special I'm known for, senior moment, lol,
Annie

i just thought about something... is anyone a veg or vegan? if so we might want to plan for them also

myself im an omni hmm well i eat anything and everything lol. well except sugar and most carbs had a gastric bypass and sugar makes me sick:(

I'm sure a lot of side dishes will be vegan, I'll check in my Molly Katzen cookbook!
Annie

well we gotta see if there is a need first i would imagine but if you find a good recipie go for it:)

Right, think about how many veg dishes are usually brought at BBQ's and parties, like a salad, german coleslaw, etc.

true all i can think about is the mayo and chesse dishes lol, its so diffrent how everyone eats, this is why i love stuff like this we get to try new things!

Am I the only one that gets hungry reading the food threads? And the Castro Valley food thread keeps talking about brownies and chocolate, and I think I am just stupid enough to fire up my oven to bake some. LOL

Oh man, I just remembered, my grocery store has fresh baked brownies in their refrigerated section where they keep the iced birthday cakes. I remember how gooey an cold those brownies were, with that rich chocolate icing...those and a glass of ice cold milk. Oooohhhhhh, I think I gotta go grocery shopping!

lol

STOP IT! STOP IT! I'm dying here! Oh for Heaven's sake...now I have to take a break and get something to eat! :~P
