*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 25, 2008 ~

[Cinder & Smoke]

Once again I seem to have managed to *tweek off* the Multitudes ...
*Complaints & Suggestions* are pouring in regarding the inclusion of Past Dishes
on this year's ~MENUE~.

A typical note:

"Could you not list the dishes that people have brought before?
It makes people feel as though they HAVE to bring something off that list."

OK ... I COULD "not list the Past Dishes" ...
But I DO list 'em in order to try and answer the frequently asked questions:

* WHAT should I bring
* WHAT do you NEED

NOTICE!!

The inclusion of Past Dishes in The MENUE -
is NOT, and never has been -
a demand, suggestion, hint, nor pleading to ANY Pik-Nik-ers that
they have to nor should bring something on the "list".

Feel Most FREE to use you imaginations and/or personal desires when choosing
what you wish to contribute to the food offerings ...
If YOU like it (and can cook it or steal it) - bring it. I'll try almost ANYthing!

Stuff we've never had >>> (probably for good reasons )
** Alaskan Salmon
** Maine Lobsters
** T-bone Steaks
** Lobster Salad
** Pizza
** Roast Turkey & Stuffing
** Bucket o' Klamz --- NO, I WON'T try them!
** Ice Cream Cones

If "Your Dish" isn't on the MENUE - ADD IT IN!!

What,,,,,,,, no Klamz? Oh nuts.

Phred I see Lobster Salad and Pizza...how about Lobster Pizza?! We have that at my work Oh, on second thought I don't think it'd warm up too good
I personally appreciate you posting the menu. I know we don't HAVE to bring what you have on it...I'd think that would be common sense

[Cinder & Smoke]

... how about Lobster Pizza?!
We have that at my work

Lobster Pizza???
Let's LEAVE it at your work!

And *skip* the Klam Sauce, too!

Could I share some of the Kitchen Suppliez & STUFF with you?

Thanks for the kind offer, Grace - But it's just easier if I do it myself ...
Been doin it so long, I keep "extras" on hand all the time ...
The hard part is to not forget anything when I'm packing the coolers!

And since the Gathurin hardly puts a dent in anything, I just toss it all in my fridge
when we get home and use it till it's gone. No fuss, no bother, and little expense.

Just pick a Favorite Dish and bring that - we all like *Mystery Dishes*!

[Grace]

I did sign up for one dish, and planned another, but someone else got there first. I'll figure out something else.

One other thing - I asked Shais Mom about borrowing a dog as we are dogless. We can bring references.

We can *make a deal*!

I've got two - who really don't like to be split up!
And they're WELL known to raise a royal **phuss** when "abandoned" by Dad
whilst he assists Chef LeCarl with the cooking chores ...

They're YOURS!

One for each of us - you have a deal!! I'll bring some special treats just for them, along with a big bag for all the others.

Grace, I'll have two dogs with me. Zack and Tori. You are more than welcome to share mine with me

[Grace]

Anna_66 and RobiLee - thank you both for the privilege of sharing your dogs. I've seen the pictures, and cannot wait to meet them all.

As for the Lobster Pizza - count me in!!

Where is your sense of adventure? Red Lobster's pizza is great!! ( and like all pizza, it is good cold too!!!)

My *sense of adventure* does NOT include dead phish on dough - Hot or Cold!

"Pizza" is supposed to be HOT wiff >>>
* 'Mater sauce
* Pepperoni
* Sausage
* Bacon Bitz
* MILD Peppurz
* and NO dead phish

"Phish" are good on Friday's, deep fried, and wiff lotsa Tartar Sauce!

[Cincy'sMom]

One of my favorite pizza's used to be a local place in Findlay, Rocking U...thin crust pizza with shrimp and mushrooms....the best!!!

Fish on pizza...no, but other seafood on pizza....you are missing out!!!

[zippy-kat]

* MILD Peppurz

Pfft! Amateur!!!!

[cassiesmom]

we all like *Mystery Dishes*!

Hey, Phred, that is mostly what I know how to cook and I don't mean that in a good way

I hope I will get to come -- I'll be another "dogless" -- and I will try to think of something that will travel very well, i.e., not from my kitchen!
