Food for April meeting

[chris_todd]

I figured I would go ahead and start this thread a little early, rather than do my regular procrastination.

Note that I will be giving one of the presentations at the April meeting, so I'd really appreciate it if someone else could volunteer to provide a "main dish". I'll bring the GWAPA supplies bucket, so we won't need cups or plates or that kind of stuff. But drinks and snack-like or dessert-like things would be appreciated.

As always remember that we have a (modest) budget for this (which we've done well to stay within), so by all means request reimbursement for your expenses from Ghazanfar.

I'll pick up the paper goods and drinks. If someone else could bring ice that would be great.

Should have read the whole starting post. Scratch the paper goods and make that drinks and chips.

Thanks, Doug! Note that we already have four 2L bottles of Soda, so don't go overboard there, perhaps two should be sufficient.

Thanks Arlene! Everyone always loves your desserts!

Thanks, Cristy! Last year, I seem to recall we did chili or something like it in crockpots, and that worked quite well at this location (power outlets easily available). Would something in a crock pot be an option again?

Anyone else interested in picking up or making something? We seem to be a little light on vegetables, so something along those lines would be a good candidate.

And remember folks, we *do* have a budget for this, if you spend money, please ask for reimbursement (this month, ask Viktor, who will be Ghazanfar's doppleganger, since Ghaz can't make it).

If you guys need something that will keep dishes hot, I have warming dishes that has three compartments that plugs into the wall.

I'll bring a potato dish. Vegan compatible.

I can bring a carrot cake (minus one slice that my boys shared tonight and then decided they don't like carrot cake). I tasted it and thought it was very good.

A couple of you asked for the recipe for the potato salad I brought. I found it on Epicurious.com - Here. I roasted everything in the oven and used very little oil rather than the 1/4 C the recipe calls for. I also used less lemon. I think it would be interesting to mix in some sweet potato, too.
