[ScreamingMeemie]

2. German?

MmmmMMMMmmmm...Sounds awesome! :hug: :loveya:

And don't forget the pork and beans! :crazy:

For our vegan friends, beans without pork of course. :grouphug:

:pals: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Yes and peppers brushed with olive oil and put on the grill....

Yummy! :hug: :loveya:

I'm very hungry now! x(

:hug: :loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

4. I'm in ...

Two of my favorites! :hi: :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

But I won't bring Fondue ... :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear MrsGrumpy!

I am so THERE! I agree.....waaaay too much Lounge drama these last months!

The Lounge needs to go have a big party, and I want to be there too!

Let the healing begin!

:loveya: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I think we're going to need to charter a bus...

;) :hi: :hug:

[Crazy Dave]

10. I'll bring some smoked pork and some corn on the cobb

:9

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. mmmmMMMMMmmm, as merh said, now I'm getting hungry..

:hi:

[Crazy Dave]

19. After dinner....

Volleyball, horseshoes, softball, or live music with frozen daiquiris?

[lizziegrace]

21. Why not all of the above?

But since we have plenty of excellent musicians here, my first choice would be music. :)

[Crazy Dave]

27. All it is!

And Mrs. DTW and I are already dressed for the occasion.

[lizziegrace]

13. I'll bring dessert

Everything chocolate! :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Sounds good! How have you been lizziegrace?

:hug: It appears we've been on at different times.

[lizziegrace]

18. Hi!!

I've been working hard and moved out to the country this past week. This weekend was spent working at a friend's shop and dealing with some drama in my daughter's life. :(

I'm tired of take-out and frozen dinners. I can't wait for the barbeque!

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I hope things are better for your daughter. How is life in the country?

We keep looking at houses on land and, with the exception of the one we lost, can't seem to find one we agree on. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

29. It's good so far

My youngest cat Gracie is not adjusting well. She cries most every night. My left wrist was sprained about a month ago and isn't healing because I had to pack and lift boxes. The unpacking is a bit overwhelming at the moment, so I think I'll go out back, find a lawn chair and read. Denial is a terrific place to be!

Hope you and MrG find your place in the country!

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. I prefer to think of it as putting off something that can be done at

any time in the future...instead of denial. ;) :hi:

[JitterbugPerfume]

22. I'll bring a suicide cake

chocolate on chocolate on chocolate held together with whipped cream

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I may be going overboard but, could we drizzle the whipped cream

with a little chocolate? :rofl:


Jitterbug, it is always a good day when you are here.

[JitterbugPerfume]

25. Chocolate is

good on whipped cream ---go nuts with it :yourock:

[Heidi]

28. Recipe, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I love some cole slaw. We don't even have to cook out. I'd be content with oven-fried chicken. And mashed potatoes with oh....about four cups of butter. And warm blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. *Faint* Gawd, I'm hungry. :cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. I'm hungry too...But I don't want to get up...

32. I do a killer German potato and mayo potato salad

I could do one of those too. and an egg salad, and one with tomatoes and fresh mozarella. and some deviled eggs.
Yeah, I'll bring a salad.:party:

I often stuff mushroom caps with it and broil them after sprinkling with parmasean cheese.

The shrimp dip is cold, made with cream cheese.

And I love spinach dip, I could make a sandwich with spinach dip! :pals:

A DU picnic. I know someone's already bringing beer and brats, but we've got some very nice beer we make here in Wisconsin and also we're the brat capital of the world. So if you don't mind, I'll bring some of both. I'll be marinating the brats in some beer while driving over there.

[Left Is Write]

70. Cookout!

Can we have brats and cheeseburgers? Baked beans? Potato salad? Corn on the cob dripping with butter? S'mores?

[Iniquitous Bunny]

73. Awesome!

My fiance and I have just started shopping for grills together! :9

He'll cook though. I tend to burn the meat. I can make some mean pasta dishes and baked goods though. :D
