Weeg, just realized the name could mean anything....Fiesta Salad is a green salad with corn, pepitas, queso anejo, avos, etc. with lime cilantro vinaigrette.
Sherry

Thanks Sherry! We'll just leave it as Fiesta Salad. It adds a little surprise to the whole event. Sounds really good.

Don't feel like you HAVE to stick to the Mexican food theme. Bring whatever you can and you out of towners, if you want to stop and pick up chicken or potato salad, for example, that's just fine. There's no wrong and right here!

Remember that Don will be furnishing water and if you want something besides water, bring your own. And we do have beer drinkers...me being one of them!

We'll also need plastic silverware, paper plates, cups, etc. Anyone can volunteer to bring those too! How about salsa, I make a killer one...ok, doing salsa!

It's going to be a great day, I just know it!

Maybe I can get some supplies for plates, silverwares, cups... I can bring with camping stove with iron cast dutch oven that I can cook some good old recipe is "Mexican refried beans soup with sour cream and some cheeses also in season if avocados in good.

Anna

Sounds good Anna! Anything is appreciated.

Also I need to know before I buy supplies that how manys peoples will come. I check it out myself then I come to Calif and get supplies for cheapers. I better get busy for road trip sooner. Take care all, Anna...

I don't know who's keeping count but if I'm needed for that, let me know.

No problem...

Weegy, you are doing great; keeping it up in the first post helps the rest of know and will make headcount easy.

Thanks

So far the food list sounds yummy, I'll have to think on it and ask Matt what he would like to bring and let you know.

WOW, is that really you Dovey?!?!?!?! Where have you been?!! Glad we'll be seeing you there.

Louise,

I've been thinking what to bring and made a decision just now. I will bring spanish rice.

Can someone give me a hint on how to keep this warm till lunch? lol

Donna

Donna, I think we have a couple of warming trays - foil tray on a frame, heating candle goes underneath - used for buffets. Want me to bring them?

Kathleen

Okay, Louise, I've decided. I know another dessert won't hurt with this group, so I'm bringing my mom's Shoo Fly Pie!

Kathleen

Check it out yourself to see on left side it said "EDIT" that you can do it post not to waste post threads.

Anna

Yeah, I know, I didn't want all those edit thingys all over the bottom.

weegy, you can delete them when you edit, so you'll only ever have the latest one there.

Kathleen

Ahhhhhhh, ok then, that's what I'll do the next time I update. Duh, Louise!

Ok, I deleted the previous list and put it at the top. Now there's no waste of space.

See how clever you are? :-)
It took me a while to figure it out, but I saw someone else do it, so I knew it could be done!

Kathleen

Not clever without you Kathleen! Thanks!

Please let me know what you all are bringing so I can update this thread. The initial post is edited to update the food list.

I am bringing the jello salad but can make or bring good salsa. If I do go up a day early, maybe I may change the jello thing because i am not sure how it would hold up in an icechest. I`ll let you know.. I can`t wait to have a face with a name, I have visions of men being woman and reverse. I need a face with a name. Dr. Don sure is a doll for all of this, especially 3 years running.

Dawn, I am down for salsa but you can bring the jello, I don't know how it will hold up either.
See the first post above for the updated food list.

I'm drawing a blank here *grumble grumble*
I need a suggestion...

Dovey,

How about additions for the tacos? Sliced cabbage, grated cheese, chopped tomatoes, peppers...
Easy to do ahead, cover with plastic wrap, bring a big bowl to fill with ice to set the plate in.

Kathleen

Works for me... put me down for taco fixin's
Lord only knows what M will come up with... Jalapeño Cheese cake anyone?

Gosh, you're easy, dovey! Don't anybody else ask for ideas, cuz that was my only bullet. lol

What ! no lutefisk ?

Make sure to check the first post from time to time. That's where I've been adding what everyone is bringing. Thanks everyone.

what's lutefisk?

I can't promise the cheese cake... but I'll mention it to M, it just sounded like something he would come up with

Lutefisk?.......yum......cough, gag, cough...lol.

I think Carlos will bring that as he's got quite a Scandinavian heritage.....lol. Carlos Andersensesnsen

LOL!!!!

Anna

weegy, you have wcgypsy listed twice. Once (third name down) and at the end of the list. :-)

Woops, will fix that right now!

Done!

Maybe a hot dish instead of lutefisk. LOL.

Well, I think I'll be able to attend, still. As to what to bring...I just don't know. We don't have a soup yet. We also don't have fruits. Or, how about a crock pot full of cheese for the tortilla chips? I'm open to suggestions and requests.
