It was really a genetic statement referring to your pie throwing contest. WHY WASTE FOOD that way?

Jerry!

"Besides I'm tired of the same old same old"
Make some suggestions then, please.

"If I have to cook for them I may as well eat with them".

That shall be your choice I guess.

Like you said these meals are not mandatory for anyone to attend.
I am assuming your "commitment" is refering to attending the "nightly non-mandatory meals".??

Cannot contemplate ANY changes if NO ONE says a darn word one way or the other can we????

Hey Pappy!

Try sending PM's to those you know are renting cabins., you may get better results! Just a suggestion!

Will do Doc; at least I should get a direct answer that way. What kind of meal suggestions are you looking for? Are you wanting to replace everything we had in the past? I know we had Bratts; so how about Italial Sausage with green peppers and onions sauteed together. Like they do at Carnivals??? <!--graemlin::confused:-->

Besides the pie, this is the second suggested change... (recorded)

Either "Brauts or other sausage so long as it's not "Johnsonville" Garbage food... I thought that WI, MN, MI new good cheese and good sausage...I have yet to find good, old fashion sausage from a butcher up there...Not a slam but an observation!

Hey Pete:

Don't know what to tell ya about the brats or sausage up here! As far as I know, you are the only one who has brought this "observation" up! Do you have any ideas how this could be corrected. I am all ears if you do!

Originally posted by: turnip on 8/9/2006 10:50:47 AM

Don't buy the sausage in a grocery store unless they make their own. Or go to a butcher shop! Maybe ya can't buy it that way up there?

I guess I bring this up because of what I noticed at Lc and wondered if there was an alternative to "Johnsonville?" No disrespect was intended or implied...geee!

To borrow the phrase - "can't we all just get along"?

I had a great time at the Lacrosse meet and can't comment on the Gwinn meet, but I will say, if ALL the Meets were the same, they would get boring very fast. Each person has their own reason for going to all the meets, or just one or two meets. If you didn't like the Gwinn meet - don't go, other wise, HELP make it a better meet for next year. Go ahead - jump in and say HEY - I am going to do this or that to HELP OUT with next years Meet(s). From what I gather, no one person is in charge - it is a group effort that the meets go as well as they do. Want to see something changed - step up to the plate and get it changed, ask how you can help, or plain just don't go. If enough of you wine and complain - well, others are going to say "why bother" and just scrap the meet for that area - then where will you be?

Hey Pete!

I did not say there was any "disrespect" in your post.., geez! I was just asking for a suggestion from you. They do have a place or two here that make their own Italian Sausage maybe we could give that a try next year?

I'll second Papa-d's suggestion of Italian sausage with sauteed onions & peppers, on a sub bun. Mmmm, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. That reminds me, I have some Italian sausage in the freezer.

One thing though - years ago at the carnivals they also had tomato sauce to put on the sauage, onions & peppers. To me, that made it 10 times better but they probably quit because it was too messy. That wouldn't be a problem at the meet.

There's a place here in Pinckney, Hunky Dog, that has all kinds of sausage. Dearborn Meats is another good source.

Next year when it's time to buy groceries and Pete reminds of all these suggestions, we can check prices, maybe taste test a few samples & decide what to get.

I can help with the preperation of that meal... <!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->
Mike: that is how we make them in the East...Also with fresh country or sage sausage...

No offence taken, Bill! <!--graemlin::)-->

Papa-d - Bluegill Master has reserved the 4-bedroom cottage at the resort. His group is using 3 of the bedrooms & I am using the 4th, so we're full.

There's plenty of time yet so keep an eye on this thread for others looking for a place to stay and maybe you can find a room-mate or 2.

Ski has said he is coming next year. I roomed with him & his son Eric in the past so he might be looking for room-mates.

Ok Pete. Too bad we live so far apart. We could get together and spend a day taste testing! Maybe we'll meet in Ohio next May if that meet happens. Of course, if we just show up it will happen.

I checked out the Members Photo Albums & got an error message that new albums are not being accepted. I was getting the same message before the Gwinn meet. Is availability intermittent or is it a problem on my end?

Wow - must be a blue moon somewhere, I've posted 4 messages tonight.

rodrigo was the last I believe to post one there <!--graemlin::(--> though at the time no one had been able to do it <!--graemlin::eek:-->

At this point the only way to show pics is to uplaod them to a hosting site and put the links in a post <!--graemlin:;)-->

Mike: I'll bet there are some real good "ethnic" (sp) food stores and or butcher shops up there. There are a lot of Dutch, Polish and many other groups and ifin they are like they are around here or Cleveland, etc there should be a great selection...
