So-called Quiet ChiDope Potluck, October 13th

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Based on the other thread, there is going to be a low-key gathering chez magdalene on Saturday, October 13th at 8:00 p.m.

If you plan on attending, here is what you need to do:

Email me at peepinatrix@earthlink.net and let me know how many people (just you? spouse? friend? ummfriend? kinder?) you plan to bring and what you would like to bring with you. That way I can set up an email list with directions, etc. to my house. It’s very easy to get to my place off of 90/94. City-dwellers can take the Blue Line or any number of buses. There is on-street parking, and a pay parking garage down the way.

I will periodically post names and what they are bringing here so people can look at it and say “hey, they need more ____!”

Based on the other thread, so far it looks like:

MAGDALENE, will make both veggie lasagna and meat lasagna.
LIFEONWRY, Italian meatballs (which will go quite well with that).
JARBABYJ, lemon bars
BOLI, paper plates, cups, napkins, silverware, etc.
MILOSSARIAN, _______
THINKSNOW, _________
DROPZONE & DROPSPOUSE, __________
DINSDALE & DINSPOUSE (I hope so!), ________
MISS CREANT, __________
JANE D’OH, ___________
PORCUPINE, _________
DYNOSAUR,_________
JEANNIE & HUBBY, _______ (+ board games?)
TIGGERIL, ________
JOEY HEMLOCK, __________
NYMYSYS, ___________
VILE ORB, ____________
and possibly SUPERDUDE, ________

Am I correct in thinking that MIKEG is out of the country that weekend?

We need:

Appetizers, chips, junk food
Salad(s)
Wine & beer
Sodapop
Juice or tonic water or whatever y’all mix hard liquor with (I have the liquor, pretty much)
Desserts
Non-pasta/Italian dishes
Silly movies, CDs, entertainment

Also, my house lacks a coffee-maker or coffee. If coffee is important to you, maybe someone can bring a portable coffee-maker?

correction: 4:00 p.m.

:swats forehead for dramatic effect:

So I guess just heading up there with a big “Eat me” sign isn’t going to cut it, eh?

Okay, uh…I’ll bring the pop, tonic/seltzer and juices, unless some under-age Doper was counting on doing that, then I’ll bring chips.

4

You know I’ll be there, just a bit late. Email with details just sent.

5

I’m thinking about coming on the train, although this obviously precludes any sort of hot food contribution.

We’ll see. Don’t add me to the list yet.

I’d also need one night of crashing space. Before anyone offers, I think we should determine whether or not Mags is putting Italian Sausage in the lasagne. Trust me, it’s important if you plan on spending 8 hours with me.

6

I’ll be there. I’ll bring a case of beer. If the food list looks to be lacking in something come the day of the event, then I’ll bring that too.

I’m betting on no dropspouse. An apetizer or salad or dessert (I haven’t decided yet). And a thanks to Mags for both hosting this and the Fulbright quote. Always liked him.

8

I’m also looking for one night of sleeping space, whether it be couch or floor. I promise that all bilious rage will be kept very low-key.

I’ll bring a wide variety of sodas along with Spanky, my pet stuffed monkey.

jarbaby will be sans husband once again…my god it’s hard to be married to an in demand actor :smiley:

I’ll bring lemon bars AND a pan of Chicken Divan…a potluck favorite that is completely unItalian in nature.

It would make you so very happy if you came. My couches are taken by Milo and Thinksnow, but I’m sure someone would put you up!

My meat lasagna sauce does include both ground beef and hot italian sausage (along with green peppers and onions). The veggie one is all about slices of portobella mushrooms and fresh tomatoes between the layers, spinach mixed in with the ricotta, and a garlicky but-but-not overpowering red sauce.

11

Hey, ts, do you wanna carpool again, or have you already made arrangements? Attention Dopers…I should be able to attend this one, too. But I need a place to crash, if anyone has room. And I can bring…um…er…well, that is, I…oh…[sub]can’t cook[/sub]

Oh, screw it. I’ll bring the wine and beer.

12

I’ve got no money, no food and am trying to not smoke. However, it is not a ChiDope unless someone crashes at my place. Couch for one, air mattress for two, both available Saturday night. If I decide I’m too broke to go I’ll at least point you towards the El stop.

13

Oh yeah, and if I do come, I’ll make some veggie thing. Gotta offshoot all that pasta and sauce, man.

Nym - who refuses to gain 20 lbs for a ChiDope

14

That would be MOST welcome. And thanks for ponying up the lodgings.

15

Dibs on staying at Nym’s place!

16

I’m going to have to move to the “maybe” list. I may have bitten off more than I can chew, travel-wise. October is shaping up to be crazy. I’ll do my best, folks, but no promises.

And nym? I hear ya on the veggie thing. I’m still surprised I didn’t gain any weight last weekend (especially after the Great Cheese Adventure that mags and I had on Saturday).

17

boli, I hope you make it, but don’t worry if you can’t. Never have two slices of pizza felt so wrong…

That puts paper plates, cups, plastic silverware, napkins back on the table for someone who is “cooking challenged” or driving a great distance.

18

I’m making it my mission to kiss every female Doper (sorry, ts. You had your chance). I’ve got one done already, as boli was kind enough to kiss me at the last ChiDope. So pucker up, ladies! Here comes Superdude

19

::looks at her lack of cooking facilities::

::looks at her credit card bill :eek: ::

Um… I’ll bring my CDs, if that’s ok.

20

Let me amend that to every single, unattached female Doper who’s willing. If the attached ones are willing, that’s fine, too. But I wouldn’t be presumptuous enough to imfer it…
