I will add/edit thread as you guys let me know what your bringing. I have a large chest freezer if anyone that wants to buy the 2nd turkey can store it at my house.


Entertainment:
Movies; Everyone is welcome to bring a favorite . Please NO Jack Frost gory stuff.
I am bringing Christmas music to listen to at the start of the party,manly during the cooking time.




*Weather update for Saturday*
As of Thursday , The Indy TV stations are saying 1.5 inchs of Snow* YEA!* for Saturday. I hope this does NOT discourge anyone from coming. Im sure that the city will have the roads plowed by early afternoon.
Maybe RC and Gary can car pool for those living out of town. As for cooking the Birds,We have that covered with Brian and Jammie providing Tail Gateing tents for us to use.
It should be a good time. See everyone there.

 

Put me down for some Italian-style veggies, vegetarian- and Eric-friendly!

Probably bringing other things as well, shall wait to see what is needed.

 

What the H are Italian style veggies? You mean tomatoes, right? lol

 

I mean veggies cooked with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and red onions. They've gotten rave reviews from people who actually eat vegetables.

 

Eric, the veggies I bring will probably be green beans, maybe corn as well. Someone else is welcome to bring another style, though, if people would like more choices! We do usually have a large group in attendance.

Vada says to put her down for baked macaroni & cheese and stuffing.

 

Updated, ANd Amy the Veggies sound great.

 

I think I'm going to change up what I'm bringing this year, but I don't know for sure yet what I will be bringing. However, you can put me down right now for buying the second turkey. I have a free-standing deep freezer so I'll have no problems storing it till the party.

 

Noted and Changed.

 

Today (10/11) , Turkeys go on sale at Kroger for .57 a LB. I will get one tonight after work. Tim , Heads up for you as well. Also,Iv been checking the oil price's and Marsh and Kroger are both extremely High for Peanut . Average is $48 for 3 Gal. If we have to pay this much,Id like someone that hasn't said what they will bring to chip in in the rest of the way for the oil. I can give about 15$ if we buy it from Marsh,Because I will have a gift card.My budget will be a lot less for the meal this year .
We haven't heard from Brian B or Vance or Gary so maybe one of you can chip in $15 or so.

E-

 

Brian said he would bring Cranberry Celebration.

 

Rae's bringing the veggie tray.

 

Updated

 

I wish this was happening the weekend of December 18th... : (

 

Wow guys, there is just two weeks until the party. Got to dig out the Turkey fryer kit and get the propane tank ready to re-fill. ans so many side dishes to prepare!

 

Where is Sara's house? Thanks.

 

Updated thread for a few changes. Looking foward to seeing everyone this Saturday.

 

With the forecast calling for a chance of **SNOW** Saturday ,Iv gotten together with RC,Jammie & Brian V on a tail gateing tent to house the frying turkey's. Between the 3 of them I think we got it"covered". I still haven't heard from Ed if he is coming. Maybe its a surprise!

 

As I posted on our Facebook page, I made a JPEG disk of the last 5 Christmas party's for us to watch . And I did pick up some Christmas cookies and I will bake them Saturday Morning. And for the Pudding Pumpkin Pie ,Im goona try a little something different so you can look forward to that too. I think we will have plenty of Turkey witch is good.

See everyone Saturday!

 

Sorry, I won't be able to make it.

 

Sorry to hear Brian. Courtney won't be able to make it either as she has to work.

Well I will see you guys soon.
