(2009) Food and Drink 2009 Meet Signups!Heya! ^_^
We love being able to throw our Cincy Pony Meets without charging anyone admission... and part of the reason we can do that is because the one thing we DO ask our attendees to bring... is the food!
Once again, the main dish will be provided by hostess Sheena. Other things we will likely want/need are listed here in categories. If you are able, and planning on attending... please post here with what category you wish to take care of.
***PLEASE NOTE***
Please take accepting a category very seriously. By posting that you wish to take a category, consider it as your way of COMMITTING to attending our meet. We will be depending on you to come and bring your food item!
Also, if there is no category here that works for you, or wouldn't keep due to long transit... please instead bring another prize contribution for the Prize Table. ^_^
Categories we need:
- Case of Small Bottled Waters
Claimed Categories:
Sheena - Main Lunch Dish (Lunchmeat Slices)
Fire Muse - Regular Drinks (Milk, Juice, Tea...)
Irish Seashell - Light Desserts (Cookies, Muffins, Cupcakes...)
Baby Pupperfly - Pop Drinks (Soda, Root Beer, Sugar/Caffiene-Free...)
Lemondrop Wishes - Sandwich-Sliced Cheese Tray (Swiss, Cheddar...)
Midnight Dream - Heavy Desserts (Cake, Fudge...)
Gypsy - Potato Salad (whatever goes in a potato salad...)
Tiggerkitn25 - Chips (At least two different bags) - Cracker Tray (White, Wheat, Whatever...)
Astroaquaria - Veggie Tray (Celery, Carrots, Broccoli, Dip?)
Applejackgirl - Cheese Ball
Dinah500 - Extra Pop and Cookies
Squirtsquirt - Fruit Tray (Strawberries, Pineapple, Blueberries...)
***A reminder, we WILL have EASY ACCESS to a REFRIGERATOR. So, anything that needs to be kept cold can be put in there until we use it at lunch***
Please post and let us all know which one of these items you will take care of. I will update this list with sections taken. Whatever you bring, make sure there is enough for approximately 6 to 8 people. Not too much, otherwise there will be tons left over! REALLY!
You can absolutely team up with another meet-goer for a food section if one of these alone is too much for one person. ^_^
We also ask that you do TWO THINGS with the food/drinks you bring:
1. Set it out when you arrive, make it accessible. You'd be surprised how many good things don't get eaten because everybody's too shy to open the bag or cut the first slice!
2. Take home (or give to someone) any leftovers of your stuff.
Tableware will also be provided by the lovely Sheena: Cups, Plates, Napkins.

I volunteer to bring my chocolate chip cookies again and I will also bring a veggie tray. 
|
Fire Muse
|
Awesome! ^_^
(glomps all over Lady Satine)
We'd love to have your chocolate chip cookies again, but you only have to take one category for 'keepers'. ^_^ If you want to bring both, great! More cookies for everyone!

Lady Satine:~Oh those cookies were good!!!
This year I would like to bring some desserts...
I will be making a choclate chip/peanut butter cheeseball(My mom got me hooked on this).
I also will bring 3 chip cookies(these have potato chips in them and I got the recipe from the food network)they sound very odd,but super Good.Unless someone else would like something else? I am open to ideas.I love to bake cookies!
Fire Muse if you need anything else let me know.
Looks like I am down for the pop(we don't drink it,so I need some help with what kinds to bring).What kinds do you like??? Let me know okay!
|
Fire Muse

Irish Seashell: I can put you down for the "Light Desserts" category... no problem! ^_^ We were just trying to get the basics covered by Hostesses... perhaps Baby Pupperfly would do the "Pop Drinks" category?
|
irishseashell
|
Oh Fire Muse Pop is covered no problem!
BabyPupperfly will help in anyway she can as will I.
I have no trouble getting the pop just wanted to know what kind to bring.
|
Fire Muse
|
No problem! ^_^ Since you two are working together, I'll go ahead and assign the Pop Category to Baby Pupperfly.

I will try to do olives as well, since they went over well last year 
Laters!

good idea I love the cheese tray too.
|
Midnight_Dream
|
Well just tell me what you need and I can try to bring something for it. ^__^ I mostly enjoy making desserts, but someone is already got that covered and we don't need to overkill it.
|
Lemondrop_Wishes
|
We still have the heavy dessert option left, so, you can take that (cake, fudge, etc) if it sounds good to you?
Let us know, and welcome to the forum!
-Andrea
|
sheena
|
Yeah we can use another dessert. It's not a pony meet without lots of junk food! Thats one of the best parts....
Would you like to take the other dessert category?
|
Midnight_Dream
|
Sweetness! I can totally take cre of that. ^_~ You all will be as fat as I am by the time I am done with you.
I have this magic cookie bar recipe I will make you all try and my mum makes sme mean peanut butter fudge and chocolate...so I shall try to sway her into doing some.
Do you gals have anything special that you want or don't want?
|
sheena
|
The desserts you are describing sound good to me! I love peanut butter fudge.

|
sheena

I wish I knew for certain that I was going so I could ask what I should bring... since I suck at knowing what to bring ^^"
If I find out too late...should I just give some money for me not bringing something?

No... what would be best for you (and anyone in a situation like yours) is if you ARE able to make it, bring an extra prize donation for the prize table. ^_^ Or just one prize that is extra-special! Anything pony-related is good.
Just make sure you let us know if you ARE coming... WHEN you find out for sure. Helps us Hostesses bring enough supplies for everyone. ^_^

Hi! Now that I'm sure I'm coming I'll sign up for the Chips and the Crackers. Sorry, but a fruit tray would not survive my drive time. I'll pick up some plain and BBQ chips. Any other requests? Sour Cream and Onion? Cheetos? Fritos? Just let me know if you would like something in particular.
I usually only eat Club or Ritz crackers so what else would you recommend I bring besides these "white" crakers? Triskets or what? LOL, "wheat" is a bad word in my house. Any suggestions would be helpful.
~.^

Since I've finally decided I'm coming for sure, I can bring some food. It sounds like there's a lot of stuff covered already; is there anything in particular left that I should bring?
|
Lemondrop_Wishes
|
Veggie tray would be a huge help, but if that is too much work we still need chips. Just let us know what is best for you.
Thanks, and so glad you're coming!

I think I can manage a veggie tray. Well, it may be more like bowls of veggies as I don't think I actually have a tray. But it'll taste the same
|
sheena
|
Great that would be a huge help! Thanks
|
tiggerkitn25
|
Hey, I've got the crackers as well. I picked up some toasted wheat crackers, some Sociables, and some Club crackers. ~.^
|
sheena
|
that sounds great tiggerkitn, thanks.
|

OK, I think I see that I can bring the cheeseball Firemuse, sent you a PM!
|
Squirtsquirt
|
I'm leaning towards fruit, but I can't guarantee what I'll have since I'll be traveling overnight. I can't do too much for fear it will spoil/squish before I get there!
|
Fire Muse
|
I'll put you down for the cheeseball, Applejackgirl! ^_^
Squirtsquirt... could you do the water bottles, perhaps?
|
girlbuffalo1
|
i putI put water in the other roll call thread and was going to post here but if Squirt Squirt would like to bring that since she is further I can bring fruit--just let me know so I know what to plan for.
|
sheena
|
girlbuggalo1,
I would say go ahead and plan for the water since she said she was leaning towards fruit. We will go ahead and put you down for water.
Thanks

Anything else needed other than fruit? Or did someone finally snag that one? Is there going to be bread/rolls for the meat or just crackers? Please let me know if there is something else in particular you need me to bring (I put down cookies/drinks in my roll-call before I saw this post--newbie mistake)
|
sheena
|
Well I'm bringing buns for the sandwiches if you had something else in mind that would be fine. Other than that extra cookies or drinks would be fine. When you decide for sure just let me know. I will be going to the store tomorrow to get everything we still need so knowing what your bringing will help with that.
|
sheena
|
Oh and yeah I think fruit is covered but not quite sure on that one.
|
dinah500
|
I will bring a couple of 2L of sodas and some cookies then if that's ok
|
Lemondrop_Wishes
|
Sounds great. Thanks!
Can't ever have too many cookies! *YUM!*
-Andrea
|
sheena
|
I agree lots of cookies!
More soda is a good idea too.
thanks

Our Aldi's has good prices on cherries, peaches and strawberries, so I can grab a few packages of those and put them in a cooler. Maybe bananas and apples...
I don't think I can do melon, if someone wanted to do watermelon, cantelope or honeydew...
|
Fire Muse
|
Dinah, I will put you down for the pop and cookies. ^_^
Squirtsquirt, I will put you down for fruit. What you have described is great. ^_^
Yaaaaay!
