Since we are now less than a month away from the big roundup, I thought it would be a good idea to get a final headcount on who all is coming. Please list if you are coming and how many guests you will be bringing. Also, please list what kind of food/dessert you are bringing. We have done a potluck in the past for food and I'd like to do that again this year. We do have kitchen facilities available to us. I will bring silverware, plates, and ice. Everyone is responsible for their own drinks.
We will be at the Central Park pavilion in College Station. If you are traveling on Highway 6 from the south (coming from Houston), exit at Southwest Parkway and make a left, cross the bridge, and make another left. If you are coming from the north (Waco, Dallas), exit at Southwest Parkway and stay straight through the light. Stay on the frontage road and turn right on Krenek Tap road. Turn left into the park (1000 Krenek Tap Rd) and then follow the driveway into the park. Turn right to go towards the main office, pavilion will be to the left of the office. The link to a map for the pavilion is here: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=central+park&near=College+Station,+TX&fb=1&cid=0,0,12989078632823574281&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image
A link to the trade list for the roundup is here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/820103/
Please come and join us for an afternoon of plants, food, and fun! No need to worry if you don't have plants to trade, we will make sure you go home with plenty!
We will start around 10 am and end when it ends.

Looks like it is going to be a great group!! At the current count, the contribution for the pavilion per member would be $7.14. If this is too much for someone to contribute, please don't let this keep you from attending. We do not want money to be an issue. I would be happy to help anyone out who may need it.

FINAL HEADCOUNT: College Station Spring RU, Sat. April 12
I'll have to bring something that can be made ahead or picked up in CS. Um, how about a bucket of fried chicken?
Frostweed + 1
Will bring cheese and crackers.
Josephine.
Fried chicken sounds good to me!
My wife & I will bring some potato salad...mmmm,...goes good with chicken! :)
Lee & Dee
As always, I plan to bring radishes!
Bob
I'll be there, maybe with DH. Not sure what I'll bring.
Myself, DH, Sheila. Still haven't decided what to bring.
Debnes and I will be there!
Bob please bring the recipe for that spread you use ... this time you will not have to stick them down my throat! LOL
Should I bring a Desert and something else, another meat? ... maybe Beef Stroganoff ? I don't see very much on this menu.
Ivy and I and 2 others for sure, maybe even 2 more. Thats 4 for sure and 2 maybes. We will bring Elgin Hot Sausage. Gene
Robert and I will be there, and I am planning to bring brisket.
Here is a copy of the original recipe. I tend to add parsley, but it is all greatl
French Breakfast Radishes with Rosemary Garlic Butter
French Breakfast Radishes are not eaten in the morning with coffee and a croissant as the name implies but rather as a second breakfast around 10 am with butter, a crusty baguette and a glass of red wine... What a civilized way to live!
Ingredients:
1 stick butter (either salted or unsalted), softened
1 8oz pkg Cream Cheese, softened
4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary - approx. 4 stems
3 teaspoons chopped fresh Thyme
1 clove minced fresh Garlic
Salt to taste
2 bunches French Breakfast Radishes, washed and tops trimmed
Mix all ingredients together except radishes. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour or up to three days. Bring Rosemary Garlic Butter to room temperature before serving with radishes.
Cook’s Notes:
The Garlic, Rosemary, Thyme and a little salt can be smashed together with a mortar and pestle. The herb leaves will come off the stems and create a lovely chunky green paste to mix with the cream cheese and butter.
The radishes can also be cut in half the long way and the Rosemary Garlic Butter can be piped on each half and finished with a sprig of Rosemary or Thyme.
Recipe can be cut in half.
The substitution of fresh herbs and dried herbs follows the general rule:
3 teaspoons fresh = 1 teaspoon dried
Oh, that sounds heavenly!
As far as I know, Karla and I will both be there. We'll probably bring a dessert of some kind, maybe some kind of cake or something. At this point, I don't think we'll have anyone with us. Jim
I will be there, but I'm not sure if I'll have my husband and/or daughters with me. Probably it will be just me. I'll probably bring some sort of pasta dish unless I run out of time and have to just pick something up.
I'll be there with mamajack, (right Barb?) and probably a few kids.
Look forward to meeting you PK.
Sounds great everyone! Keep 'em coming...I know there are more of you out there planning to attend!
:) Kim
Myself and probably my wife and mom.
I'll be there and will bring a chicken pasta salad.
DW & I will be there. Can supply some Es Bueno seasoning, BJ's hot sauce, pickled garlic, and jalapenos.
just bumping this up! We need an accurate count so we know how much each person will need to contribute for the rental, so please post here if you haven't yet done so.
Thanks, Kim
If anyone is thinking about coming - just come on! Don't worry about what you have to bring - just come and meet all these nice folks! My first RU was a lot of fun and I met so many nice people and went home with some of my now favorite plants.
Check in with us here - bring a bite to eat and to share - it will be fun. Check in with the thread!
Sheila are you coming to the CSRU after all?
Kim~
Jackie (my daughter) will be riding down with Sylvia and I. She didn't want to stay here with the boys that weekend, LOL!
So count one more precious head to your totals...
:-)
No, I keep bouncing around on the two RU threads and got them mixed up. I will be in WA State that week. I will make it to Wax though.
Wish I could go, but I am just recovering from a long bout of pneumonia and still have to rest. I will be thinking of y'all though.
Adeline
I'm planning to come - bringing a friend from work and basil/pesto dip and a dessert. Looking forward to it.
It looks as if we will have one guest, after all. Karla's sister Kathy will be with us. She has two daughters at A&M, and they need something for their front flower beds. She is going through her plants at home to see what she can bring to trade. After this, DG will likely have a new member :) Jim
I will be there.
Anne
edited to add that I'll make some guacamole
