I WOULD say what I was going to bring if I was coming, but then you would all give me a hard time.

Like you will anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

OK I vote for chilli but Mrs votes for lasagna. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I think we need to negotiate and will check back later! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Seriously though, I am happy with either one. As long as both the Mrs and I have the garlic bread who cares, right?

I asked the family tonight what I ought to bring if I *were* able to come.

The twins:
Peach Cobbler
Peach Cobbler

17 year old son:
Chicken Enchiladas - the ones with the bacon in them - that every one likes.

18 year old daughter:
Yeah, like you are going to go to Minn.

Wife:
Lets see, 40 hour drive out, and 40 hour drive back. That's 80 hours ( counts on fingers) and that's 5 weeks of 15 hours together, plus some. I'll go if you will.

I thought about Lasagna, the kind with fresh spinach ( cause I grow spinach) but two of you have already listed Lasagna. I could bring the last of the Halibut I caught in Alaska and grill it with Lemon Pepper, but I can't come anyway. W has a cub scout training that she is in charge of.
Oh well, there's always next time.

SS

PS, Lasagna is out, we only have swiss chard right now, and it's not quite the same in Lasagna. So, if I were coming, I wouldn't bring that. NOT that it matters.

Chocolate- No word on Luki. I mentioned it to him in one of his posts and I don't think he has checked over here. If you want he hangs at GQII so you can find him there. Otherwise I will see him next week and I'll tell him how much fun we had.

I'll be there with 3 kids in tow. (3 unruley, slightly undisciplined kids, but what the heck, they are mine and I love them).

H declined. I only told him some friends were gathering for a potluck. He asked what friends, I told him, if he knew where I met you guys, he would think it was not necessary for me to associate. So, I am coming with the kids. I have not yet told him that I am coming even if he does not want to

I don't know yet. I called Chocolate Chick, left a message asking her to call me. I don't recall what everyone is bringing, and I unfortunately don't have time to go through and figure it out.

How many are coming again?

OK, so here is the running total as I understand it. Please correct:

STTSI + 1 = 2
Cerri + 4 = 5
Sue + 3 = 4
Chocolate + ? = ?
Grand Total 11 + Chocolate and crew

This is going to be a great time! So who is up for some beach volleyball? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Chocolate, can we dump some sand in your yard for our beach?

Do we know who is bringing what?

Besides STTSI and Mrs are bringing the heavenly sounding chocolate dish that is guaranteed to make you gain one dress size in one evening.

Since most of the food category has been taken, I thought I could bring beverages such as pop, drinks for kids, stuff like that - any suggestions?
