I hate to ask this, but I feel I must...

How many of us are doing the Atkins diet and won't eat anything?

Of course, personal opinion is, it only leaves more pasta and potatoes for ME.

[panub]

I followed Jack's lead, thought I'd type a quick list of who's bringing what to the potluck. Feel free to add yours to the list as you decide: (apologies, in advance, if I forgot anyone)

Norbert - Ranch salad
Summerkid - Salmon w/green beans & potatoes;greek salad; berry or french silk pie
Tincanluv - Chinese Cole Slaw
Tikihut - Grilled peaches & apple cobbler
Crazylev - Porkloin/hickory smoked
Zamboni - Spring Rolls
Silvertwinkie - Mac & Cheese
George & Marilyn - Homemade potatoe salad
Hohne - Baked Beans
Panub - Pulled Pork
jcanavera-Corn on the Cob (cobetts)

Won't eat anything, on Atkins??? Well, then we'll volunteer to bring spinach salad with yummy garnishes in it that are okay on Atkins. We'll also bring beef brisket with our mm-good wine-mushroom-garlic sauce, all okay on Atkins. And we could bring ratatouille, just to work in all the allowed veggies unless someone else wants to do that. We can eat on Atkins and eat well!

Those things sound good!


The reason I asked the question was that my friends just returned from a weekend with THEIR SOB camping club (hate to tell ya what THEY have in common to form the club) and they said that the Atkins people would eat NOTHING. They really did try to accommodate, but didn't know what to do. They brought chicken breast in white wine sauce and wild rice, which they spent a fortune on) and their was a hissy fit thrown over it.


I don't know WHAT I want to bring.. I thought maybe a big bowl of pasta or chili and cornbread. But see???

[maxandgeorgia]

Changed my mind after reading Panub's list. People have already offered two meats, so in place of the brisket, we'll do boiled shrimp. That makes 2 meats, salmon, and shrimp-a pretty good variety

[jcanavera]

Keep in mind folks that I have usually considered the meat an entree, which for all intents was for your consumption only. If you want to bring meat as a shared item, that's ok with me. I just wanted to make sure no one felt obligated to bring a meat course.

The advanced forecast is in. Weather for Moraine View next Friday (June 11th) is for scattered thunderstorms.

Saturday and Sunday the forecast is for clear skies. I'll watch closely as the weather forecast gets more defined as the week progresses.

Looks more like a cold front coming through with temps in the low 80's Saturday and Sunday.

I figure we will all get our units cleaned up and end up driving through rain on Friday. If I'm not wrong thats exactly how it was for us last year.

You are right, Jack, except for that the world is changing quite a lot and LOTS of people are not big meat eaters.

I eat very little meat, but I'm not a vegetarian.

A big fruit salad would be a FINE dinner for me.. so how about we bring that? Of course I want to try everyone else's everything, too.

[hohne]

...fruit salad + baked beans + cole slaw....

I have never seen an exploding campfire before...

Just Keep your seefood away from my Toga, I would hate for it to get stained!!!

[norbert]

Otay!.....

[till]

I see we are on the same diet Norby, I only eat food I see.

Well it looks like we will have an unoffical guest Saturday and Sunday. My neighbor with the 79 Soveriegn just may come down to Moraine VIew, but stay near the lake. Maybe whe can use his trailer as a "Beach house" for when we go swimming. :P

...no no no, just Baked beans -- I was making a lame joke based on an earlier post about the cole slaw and fruit salad..

[crazylev]

I can almost guarantee that one taste of my Procured Porcine Pork Product, that even the most sun-dried of vegitarians will be putty in my hands. I've had problems in the past from former vegans that regressed to wearing grass skirts, and scouring the campground for meat-laden grills to lick and kiss, which was followed by some weird tushie twisting bizarre dance!

You have been warned.

St. Louis folks (or those passing through). If you want to meet up and drive together next Friday, drop me a PM. Maybe we can coordinate at an Illinois rest stop.

As of this point, it's listed as a 30% chance of thunderstorms. It will be in the 80s there all weekend, so folks like me can test out their A/C units fully!

As the weekend draws closer, we'll know more, but as of now, the weekend looks fairly sweet! It's hard to believe that back in February, when it was cold with snow everywhere (at least here in the north), this day would finally arrive....

With all the storms here in STL , I've been so busy at work with cleaning up tree damage. I oversee our Municipal Urban Forestry crews and we've been trying to keep up with debris clean-up from each round of hail , wind and lightning storms . Finally got caught up this week with the foresty AND THE MOWING.

I think I may not do the polish-thing due to all the "extras" on a MH which would need to be removed prior to polishing. It would put the MH off-line for too long. I try to go out year round two or three weekends per month except for June, July, August...just to HOT & HUMID for me during the summer around STL (I work out in the heat all week)!!! I think it would be too hot to polish during the summer in my driveway.

We'll see you at MVSP next wekend...wow that sounds close!
