Barbara Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I voted for Oct. 2 because I can't imagine a picnic without AGM and Notquickdraw. That said, I seem to remember bringing a pumpkin cheesecake to a Fall picnic a few years ago that was well-received . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoramargolis Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 If we do it at the end of October, I'm more likely to have recuperated enough to attend, and maybe even prepare something to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Really hoping that it's on a day I can go this time. Cooler weather means more fall food options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I think all the dates are good for me except for 9/25, but I put an extra vote in for 10/2 because without an animal roasting in a box courtesy of agm/NQD, it's just not a picnic.

bettyjoan Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Are we thinking it will be too cool after October 23? Selfishly, I would love it if October 29 was an option, as I just scored el-cheapo airline tickets for a DC visit October 28-31. Even if picnic attendance is impossible, though, I sure would love to get together with some folks. Haven't been back to Washington since June of last year!

We've done it on the very last Sunday of the month before so I can add that to the poll -- it will be the 30th, as we do the picnic on a Sunday so our industry members have a chance to come! The problem now is that people who have already voted can't vote again, I think. If you've already voted and want to log a vote for Oct 30, PM me.

Pat Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Are we going to have a theme for the picnic? Or a comparison tasting of something? A novelty egg to crack? Or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leleboo Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I've removed some under-represented poll dates (but left October 30th for people who voted before it was an option). For our new members -- check out some information on picnics past and go ahead and vote in the poll. We'd love to see everybody out at the park in October. (And remember, the caja china agm said October 2 was his only available date, meaning *cough*pigroastisapossibilitynotthatIambiased*cough*.)

DanielK Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 agm, assuming 10/2 wins and I will cheat and vote multiple times to make this happen are you thinking piggie or other small beastie in the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I think that pork, especially for a fall picnic, should always be a secondary theme, whether it's an onsite roast or bacon in almost everything-that said, I guess you can make good food & leave out the pork. I'm contributing to a breakfast tomorrow morning, w/ a shrimp & grits casserole & hash browns, & I'm trying to eliminate pork, for any dietary restrictions...

We haven't made any specific plans. I hope nobody is planning around us. The new caja china is slightly larger and a lot heavier, and therefore less portable. I was thinking of something in the Orion, or I guess we could do something smaller in the caja china at home and bring it fully cooked. Maybe a goat? Bringing the box to cook on-site is still an option if people really want that, but would take a bit more planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make sure you get help with transportation to/from and loading/unloading, if these are sticking points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
