hillvalley Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 For those of you who are curious click here to read about last year's picnic. Amazing what happens in a year.....Al's girlfriend is about to turn him into an honest man. Rocks may really exist. Sigh. I am starting my one woman lobbying campaign for mktye's strawberry marshmellows. yummmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadya Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Looks like we're heavy on proteins and light on side dishes, so I may add a few Armenian-inspired veggie sides. What are the rules of conduct in public parks, anyway? Should we arrange for a boombox and some groovy tunes? I can contribute my extensive collection of European house and lounge. It aids digestion and all this finger-snapping and toe-tapping expends some calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Gastreaux Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I have an electric one, why? Did you want to have an ice cream making session at the picnic or do you want somebody to bring some homemade ice cream? I thought it would be kind of cool to crank up a batch of ice cream at the picnic. The only trouble is that you need to cure the ice cream for a couple hours and thus it might take too long.

bkeith Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi all, I'm new to the board (just got my ID cleared). Mktye alerted me to the site and the picnic and asked me to come along. I'm a pretty desserty person, so I'm sure I'll be bringing something sweet. Maybe a batch of coleslaw too, and the folks who don't like to see it on BBQ can just look the other direction. I do have a hand-crank ice cream machine and am happy to bring it, along with some custard to churn. No real need to the ice cream to cure after churning, as long as you like a soft-serve consistency that'll melt pretty quickly. Just let me know, and I'll haul it along.

Barbara Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 While I don't wish to belabor the obvious, it seems to me that if somebody wants to churn some ice cream, but is concerned about the "tempering" of it, the thing to do is to make the ice cream first--before the grills are fired up, etc. That way, it can have close to two hours to be packed and frozen, before we have stuffed ourselves on that dreamy-looking pulled pork and those sausages, et al. Not having been to last year's picnic, I must thank hillvalley for posting those pictures. It shows that presentation matters with this crowd, even in the great outdoors--a fact I particularly appreciate. Thanks for the heads-up! I don't wish to subvert anyone's child. I actually had been wondering about serving dishes, etc. The Dollar Store on Columbia Road often has some plain, plastic table cloths (coverings?) which are always helpful. I'll keep an eye out for them. It beats eating off tables on which birds and other wildlife have doing whatever. Given today's weather, it is surely fun to be thinking about eating good food outside in better weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Erin-Wine and grill?Now it's Erin +1. It would be helpful if someone could bring a cooler that I can stash the wine and some ice in onsite (I forgot and sold mine last weekend in my yard sale ). The grill is still a maybe unless someone is willing to pick it up in College Park, since there is a good chance I will have sold my car by then and won't have a way to transport the grill.
