Fourth Annual MADs February Birthday Bash- Plus Farewell to Jonathan Chance

We have two main dishes: Stew and Vegetarian Chili

We could use another hot dish like maybe some kind of casserole. I should have enough power outlets if folks bring hot plates or crock pots; and those who were here last time will be happy to know that I have plenty of spare fuses. At least danceswithcats will be here to protect us, and I do have a brand-new fire extinguisher! :eek: (“3-A:40-B:C” whatever that means!)

-gobear and ultrafilter are bringing beer
-Mariemarie is bringing pie (This is her first MADopefest! Ya think she knows?)
-danceswithcats is bringing cookies
-Kim is making his “Deadly Black Bean Salsa”

Here are some suggestions:
Salad, like cole slaw or potato salad
Deviled eggs
Bread or rolls
Cheese and crackers
Veggies and dip
Chips and dip
Sodas
Cookies (more!)
Pie…mmmmm (more!)
Plastic plates, cups, spoons, forks, etc.
Paper or plastic bowls for hot foods

I neglected to add that nyctea scandiaca is bringing beer, wine, rumcake and garlic/non-garlic bread and a “kick-ass pasta salad”.

You call that music?

Hey guys.

I’m trying very, very hard to find a way for us to make it. I’ll let you know, but it’ll be a last second thing. I hope that’s OK.

Heck, join the trend.

That’s the same space I’m in.

And it’s partly his party. :wink:

It would be seriously cool to see ya again, Doors.

Countdown: T minus one week!

Everybody: Please look over the list of suggestions above and post what you’d like to bring. If you don’t volunteer, I’m going to start handing out assignments, and that’s a side of me that nobody wants to see. :eek:

I’ll be bringing cornbread to go with the main dish-y kind of foods, and probably a vegetable tray or something. There’s got to be something okay for me to eat there!

Know those biscuits that you get at Red Lobster? Those wicked cool ones with the cheddar cheese baked right in?

Should I actually show up, it will be with those.

straining to be heard over the pesering squeals of whiny e-mail

All right, all right! Aureos (aka Kathy Everybody) have finalized our plans to be there on Saturday. Coincidentally, she’s moving to Wauwatosa on the 9th, so if JC don’t make it we can have it in her honor instead.

As a special treat, Aureos is going to bring a truly evil concoction known as…

THE FRUIT BOMB

Beer and wine may not be necessary in the quantities previously imagined.

You all have been warned.

:::::::squealing::::::::

Olentzero’s coming! Who’s bringing the whipped cream?

What is it I’m supposed to know (or find out) about pie? (I already know about weebl and bob.) Am I in some kind of danger? :dubious:

I would like to bring an apple pie with brandy-soaked raisins, but if you want me to leave out the raisins, let me know.

Mmmmmm…PIE! Pie pie pie pie pie PIE! I think that about covers it.

“Brandy soaked raisins” sounds just like someone I know. In fact he’s coming to the party! The more the merrier! (Don’t change the recipe. It sounds yummy.)

Don’t make me bring show tapes!

Yukkaflux. Jaysus, it’s high school. I’m very afraid.

You should be. That thing’s been sitting in her fridge for almost two weeks now and is ready.

(said Olentzero, not caring that he’s logged in under Aureos’ name)

I just wanted to pop in and say that yes, I am indeed coming.

This should give anyone who feels the need time to subsequently develop a previous engagement.

See you next weekend.

Hey, I’m in!
I make killer deviled eggs, so there ya go!

Hell, we need as many people bringing beer as possible!

Oh, and this time, hopefully hubby won’t be suffering a horrible head cold and have to drag me out early, like he did last time! I didn’t get to talk to half the people I wanted to!

BTW, Anita, I’m not sure we remember how to get there. Could you re-send directions, please?

Billdo, thank you so much for posting here. Everybody thought I was making it up, or hallucinating on drugs or something. See, everybody? He really is coming! :dubious:

Norine, I’m so glad you’re coming! (But you’re wrong about wanting to talk to the other half of the people at the party. You talked to the kitchen people and they’re always the best ones!) :wink:

Does anyone else make deviled eggs? We could have a contest!

From the list, the only things we really still need are cheese and crackers, and salad type things like pasta salad, and desert type things.
