Huh? Wha...? What's goin' on?!?
This Saturday's events make this a very unique opportunity. A "Brunchgate/Lunchgate" combined with a "linnergate/tailgate". Heck, it's a GD WHOLEDAYGATE!!!! Given that this is the case, we need to plan accordingly. It's clear to me that two "menus" will be required. No?
TNTClan will be there +six or eight. For the early crowd, I'm gonna' bring Cinnamon-Raisin Swirl bread (v2.0) and maybe some French-Toast fixin's? (TBD). For the Lunchgate/Tailgate, I'll make an attempt to compliment Mile's chili with, ho-hum... wings (probably two varieties).
Then, because TNTClan will be attending the BB game, I'm thinking about something for hoops-gate like a simple and unassuming... say... hmmmm... I don't know... maybe... fire-roasted, spice-rubbed, sherry-molasses glazed, whole beef tenderloin? Damn. Sounds tasty... maybe I'll give it a spin? (It's a big SOB too, nearly 4 kilos, untrimmed, figure 3.5 kilos once prepped.)
I'll also do some bread (thinking sourdough) and some butter-pecan cookies. I'll probably add a starch too, just not sure which way I'll go... unless there's someone who wants to volunteer a starch (or maybe we'll have some of VDB's baked beans left over?).
And, of course, I'll have beverages. Lots and lots of beverages.
Tomorrow, if no one beats me to it, I'll consolidate the posts down to a roster and menus.
I like the banner idea but, if it's gonna' be a decorated bedsheet, we'll have to hang it in the trees or, between the trees and lamppost. If we had a professional banner made, we could hang it between the tent and the lamppost (so the team could walk under it) if we strapped a pole (via zip ties) to our tent. We could have a banner made (probably not in time for MD) from which we could hang our "special de jour".
Just my $.02 worth...
