Haspin Food

[CGarbee]

I'm sticking this in it's own thread right now just so that it doesn't get mired in all the other info about the rally...

I'm still planning on cooking...

We had talked about having everyone Paypal me funds before the event so that I would have cash to go shopping, but since Paypal charges a fee, I'm thinking that I could just trust everyone who is attending to bring cash with them and I could collect upon arrival...

Menus:

Wednesday
Supper – Spaghetti with sauce(s), salad, garlic bread

Thursday
Breakfast – Eggs, bacon, grits
Lunch – Sandwich bar (cold cuts, cheeses, lettuce, tomato, etc), chips
Supper – Chicken and Rice (w/celery, onions, carrots).

Friday
Breakfast – Eggs, sausage, cooked apples
Lunch – Hot dogs/sausages, chips
Supper – Low Country Boil (corn, potatoes, shrimp, kielbasa)

Saturday
Breakfast – Pancakes, bacon, eggs
Lunch – Burgers, chips.
Supper - Porkchops, corn/limas, leftover veggies from the earlier meals?

Sunday
Breakfast – Danish?

I'll provide tea and lemonade... Coffee for breakfast is also very do-able.

Give me some constructive feedback and I'll tweak this in the next couple of days, and will then come up with a final menu for the event and firm prices. I'll need to have everything set on Friday so that I can get my shopping, truck/trrailer PM, etc. done in time to take a breath before I head out.

Thanks.

[jw4x4]

Overheard at an Indiana restaurant..... "Do they serve grits in Indiana?" "Yes, they will serve anybody. Now hurry up and order."

Sounds good, you can count on me paying. I will be there Friday for lunch on to Sunday. It will be me and 2 others, 3 people total, Thanks Clinton

Since I haven't seen any major complaints about the menu items, I'm proceding on the assumption that everone is ok with that aspect of things...

I'm going to swing by my local food distributor's place tonight and will price out the items in the quantities that I'd need to feed everyone that I know is attending. I'll break it down into a per day charge after that...

 

[drmeece]

Me and one other..Will be there friday noon to sunday morning....Thank You

 

[swbradley1]

Cabell's cooking...

Yum! Looks like it will just be me coming so you can scratch one off the list. (wife)

 

[Stretch44875]

$$?

 

[swbradley1]

Wondering that myself.

 

[Stretch44875]

I hate to be a pest, but need a price. I have people I'm holding money for that need to know, and have to get food packed.

 

[doghead]

Yup, Me too.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone on costs... I lost internet here for the last couple of days (dang storm droped a tree on the lines running to the house...

Anyway,
Cranking out the numbers shows that I can do this for $30 each for the Wed-Sunday menu that I posted earlier. I can prorate things for folks who are arriving later, but to be honest, I really need to be cooking for at least 30 for each meal for this to work out...
