I will bring veggies and dip, OK? I recall that your street is adorably narrow - what is your advice about where to park. ---

Wherever you can. You can park on Dundalk Avenue, on our street, or on the street at the other end of our street. There is a small parking lot at the end of our alley, and I’m not sure if you can park there or not. I’m leaning toward yes. ---

There is no possible way I could have felt worse, unless it involved hot pokers to my soft parts. So, yes. ---

Well, I had planned to bring a tray of snack veggies (see post #70) – is there room for a second one? > [@Anita Vacation](#): > > I will bring veggies and dip, OK? > > I recall that your street is adorably narrow - what is your advice about where to park. ---

Bring whatever you like. I’ll eat tons of veggies. ---

Oh, and I forgot to mention: I’ve got burgers (beef and veggie) and buns, and I bought pop. Coke, diet Sprite, Ginger Ale, and (I think) Sprite. If you want something else, bring it. ---

If you want something else, bring it. I can bring bottled water. Also, will you have cheese for the burgers? If not, I can bring an assortment of sliced cheeses (cheddar, swiss and munster). ---

I’m a Diet Coke drinker, and I suspect there are others, so I’ll bring a few bottles (along with the veggies). ---

UrbanChic (I want to call you Juanita!): we have ‘cheese’ - that is, processed cheese slices. I also have Minute Maid Lemonade. And a few stray cans of other stuff left over from Dope-The-Halls at Christmas. ---

You–and anyone else, really–can call me Juanita. I’ll bring cheese, bottled water, applesauce cakes and an as yet unknown side dish or two. ---

> [@ultrafilter](#): > > I’m up for this. But it would be nicer to everyone if you kept it out of reach for the trip up. Is this because you like hummus and will eat it all or because if you eat the hummus we won’t want to be near you? Ginger and Dave have a small back porch where you could be banished if necessary. ---

If we banish him to the back porch, nobody will get burgers. Urban Chic: You outdo yourself. Thank you so much. I think we’ll start cooking around 3 or so. If we need more burgers, we’ll run out for them.b ---

There will be no banishing necessary. I just like hummus, is all. ---

What do you guys think of Insalata Caprese–tomato and mozzarrella salad? It’s beautiful AND yummy. Yes, unless someone vehemently objects, I’m going to bring one. ---

Do you enjoy olives and a good, crusty bread? If so, I could bring a few loaves to accompany a bright tapanade.
