This is from my girlfriend Tara who is in charge of all things food. I copied and pasted from her post in the FB event:
For those that I haven’t met yet, I am the face behind the food for the weekend, aka Tara.
We’ve worked on a menu including the favorites from last year … I will be making a separate post for specific items needed - but if you have anything you like that fits the meal, feel free to bring also.
Friday
Food will be ready to eat around 5pm, but available all night.
Hot pockets - pepperoni and cheese, ham and cheddar
Loaded potato soup
Mexican chili
Saturday
we have a restaurant breakfast planned before we get started.
Lunch will be a stop along the way.
A small cooler and snacks wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Supper when we get back will be a taco bar.
I will have two types of ground burger cooked - one will have veggies (zucchini, mushroom, onion, bell pepper), the other will be plain burger - both will be seasoned with taco seasoning.
Chicken breast will thrown into the crockpot and cooked with bell pepper, mushroom and onion for a fajita option.
Queso will be smoked once we get back - the meat will be precooked and warmed on the smoker too.
I’m making a packaged Spanish rice unless somebody has a family recipe version they’ll volunteer making.
I’ll make a guacamole also.
All the other ‘fixings’ will be added to the *needed* list. That includes salsa, shells, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce …
Sunday - I’m cooking breakfast and that’s. If you hang around for lunch it’ll be leftovers from the other meals.
Breakfast includes
Smoked bacon
Biscuits and gravy
Apple cinnamon casse-roll
Scrambled eggs
Hash browns
Items we need to make the meals go smoothly -exact amounts will be posted as we get a head count .. I’ll also mark when people commit to help keep track.
Help in the kitchen won’t really be needed, but company is welcome and you may get put to work - the kitchen is available if anybody wants to make something here instead of traveling with it.
Paper products - paper towels, paper plates, plastic forks and spoons for 3 meals <preferably somebody arriving early Friday>
(We have the rest thanks to reynolds)
Ice - we have a large cooler that will be in the garage for non alcohol drinks. Somebody needs to keep ice in it over the weekend. - probably 1 big bag a day
Drinks - bring your own!
We’ll have the garage fridge and shop fridge available for alcoholic beverages - plus a large cooler for soda/water.
*Personal coolers are recommended for the ride*
Snacks - either to share or not, everybody likes snacks tho.
