I will bring a case of water and some kind of meat dish. Maybe I can talk DH into some ribs. If not, either grilled or fried chicken.

I will bring Tea, Ice, and Italian Sausage Casserole.
Josephine.

I will have ice, case of bottled water, and a relish/veggie tray.

I have the napkins and the salt and pepper covered!

I will also bring coleslaw.

Lizzy

I only have so many edits per day, so I will add items this evening.

I will bring all of the paper plates and 2 bags of rolls.

Carla

I will bring serving utensils, and napkins, I will get back to you what my guests will bring.

I'll bring 100 plastic cups and 3 2-liter soft drinks: Coke, Diet Coke, and Dr. Pepper.

Ok...I have plugged in to this point. I added extra napkins and plates, forgetting that we eat all day! LOL!

OK, DH Brett has generously offered to prepare his tomatillo salsa with chips and corn casserole for us. The children will bring a box to trash bags. ;) Stacey

I will bring roasted vegetables on rice.

I have the extra napkins.

Sheila, DH has replied that it would be too hard to make ribs for as many people as we're expecting. He said that he would instead smoke either a very large brisket or two normal-sized ones. I'll bring sauce for it too.

Thanks Lizzy.
Pattie....Oooh that sounds even better; thank him for us please.
Stacey....I love the salsa and chips, and Anna the veggies on rice sound delish!
I will transfer the last entries in a little bit.

Pattie, keep in mind that each dish doesn't have to feed the entire group, that is is why we have 5 dishes of each kind. It would be too costly for any one person to have to feed the entire group at the cost of food these days.
Josephine.

One of my guests will bring Dessert

I will bring a salad and a dessert.

Come on Everybody, we need more main dishes side dishes and desserts, the time is short now, so we need to get it covered.
Josephine.

Put me down for a side and main dish. Don't know what it will be, we are leaving early, so I'll stop by a deli on the way.

Hey there everyone....please make sure you are confimed on the FINAL HEADCOUNT THREAD too, time is getting short.

Thanks!

I'll bring pasta salad and paper towels with liquid soap.

Jennifer

I'll bring a double batch of Rotel Green Beans.

We are moving MIL from Baylor to rehab today. She likes our company and DH is an only child. Still on hold for Sunday.

Christi

I'll bring a salad this time. I can always whip up a dessert if we need something else, just let me know on Friday!

bump.... 5 days to go!

I'll bring a case of water and a gallon of tea. What do people want for tea, sweetened or not?

Sarah

I'll bring some fried chicken (home-made by the Colonel, not me), some rolls, and some goldfish and crackers for any little ones who may be about.

-GB

Sarah.....Unless someone steps in I would say sweetened as I didn't ask anyone to bring sugar, etc.
Get these everything added tonight.

My wife (Becky) is gonna bring a desert.


carl

Thanks, Sheila.

I will bring some salsa, mashed potatos, and I will see what else I can bring. I might have some plastic cups I can bring but not to sure.

I will bring some Strawberry Bread for those with "not so sweet a sweet tooth."

Carole (Arlington)

Thanks Carole...will add later

Sheila, my third other guest Kate will bring dessert

My two guests are bringing desserts too, so looks like we will have plenty as usual! LOL!
EVERYONE........REMINDER.....
Don't forget your door prize, food item, and the member's $4 toward the rental. Make the sign up table first....get name tags and a group photo!!

We will eat about 1:30 - 2pm, then start trading. Later we will have the door prizes (Frank and Josephine will do those).

After that we will go back for the leftovers...food and plants!!

I'll bring the 4th case of water. And some corn chips. For all that salsa that'll be there.
