Am Interested !!

I called the # and the deal is each campsite can hold up to 6 people and 2 tents.

Pete and I are interested, but we haven't booked our campsite yet. Is there a theme for the potluck?

A theme?.....hmmmmmm

Bush vs. Kerry

Political debate will be discouraged, in the interest of rider solidarity, but we will encourage free speech through culinary arts.
Attendees should show their affiliation with dishes from the home state of their prefered canidate. Side dishes are allowed to be from VP canidate states.
Show your open minded by opening your mouth, and sample the delicacies of your political rivals. Its all for fun, no winner will be determined. We know it all comes out the same way in the end ;D

I have a site with water and electric so Microwave, toaster oven, 5 stovetop burners, charcoal grill, and 1 lobster pot size propane burner are available.

[Paula]

My S.O. and I will be camping at Lyndon for the weekend, and a potluck sounds like fun. We'll be at site 4.

Bumping this thread.

1 month till Nembafest

If you would like to join in on the NembeFeast but don't want to (or cant) cook then I am happy to put you on the meal plan($). That way you don't need any cooking gear, but please bring your own place setting. Paper is ok.

I will be camping Friday night. I have the kids and will be cooking at site 15 all day for dinner Saturday. Campfire Sat. night. Sunday Morning Breakfast, then Mass, Then Nembafest.

Please send me your E-mail address so i can start a list and we can organize what everyone is bringing and how many want me to cook for them.

This event is rain or shine.

Sure i can. Anything left on the grill long enough, eventually becomes no-fat. But it will taste like dust. Salty, smoky dust. And i could never do that to you, we are what we eat and I'll not have it said i made an ash out of anyone.

Hey Bill,

Just in case you don't get the email I sent, Tom and I will be there for dinner. No camping for us - me and a tent just aren't compatible at the moment so we've got a motel room.

Let me know if you want us to bring a dessert or an appetizer.

Claire

This is gaining momentum in the final week. Please keep track of the growing number of attendees and adjust quantity of food brought to match.
Remember this is byob and bring your own plate/cup/silverware.

If anyone has a charcoal grill they can bring that would be helpfull.

This is going to be great.

Claire

Going Shopping tonight for rare herbs and exotic oils. I picked up the brisket and babybacks at the ButcherBoy last night.

What are all the campers doing for breakfast? Pancakes and eggs would not be too hard.

[GregC]

Holy smokes Bill you are going all out for this feast.

I am still on the fence about what to do. Go to NEMBA-JustBill Fest or Maine for the weekend.

If I do decide to go to NEMBA when is the last RSVP time?

Greg

if you are going to camp then the rules and vacancy of the campground would dominate.

As for our little feast. No rsvp is needed. I expect strangers and friends alike to show up unanounced, bearing food and drink to share.

NEMBAfest with Chefbill vs. Weekend in Maine

No Contest. Event the folks from Maine are going to be at NEMBAfest. The question is can Chefbill outdue the turkey he cooked last year? You will only find out by being there.

-Tom

[GregC]

I hear you guys. Just Maine is a family thing, so you all know how that goes.



Greg

ChefBill= very funny

[digger]

I will happily flap some jacks and flip some eggs Sunday AM and I hope to have a supply of coffee.

[splat]

Dam , I wish I could have gone with you guy :'(
But I have family obligation Sunday Morning .
and especially after the Fest chefbill supplied at the 24 Hour race.

[Z]

Holy Smokes!
I think Chefbill outdid himself this time.

Amazing feast, amazing fest. Those of you that missed it missed a really great weekend.

After all that food...and more food... and even MORE food... and those mojitos and watermelon margaritas, I am surprised I could finish that ride Sunday.

Good hangin' with you all.

I didnt make it Sat for camp Justbill but I did go Sunday for the day. There were lots of forum folks in attendance. Hooked up with Z, Todd, Gleece and several other folks and hit the trails. Speaking of trails the loop was great. I did the full loop and it was a shade over 25 miles, more twists, turns, ups and downs that anyone could ask for. Great venue, great weather, great trails. I brought my GPS on the trail, tonight I will download the tracks and post the map.

[Chris_T]

Thank you Bill and everyone. Marie and I had a great time and the food was wonderful.

Working on my chili recipe for next year....
