I want to reiterate here...it's REALLY important that we have a good head count, so please be as accurate as possible with who's coming and who can't make it so we can do food planning.

Thanks from the cook.

AvidFan - as long as you're bringing sliced onions, would you mind slicing up 3 or 4 extra? I'd like to grill onions for the brats and anyone who wants 'em.

Mary,

Suzy and I will be there!

Looks like you need brats... we'll be glad to bring 3 or 4 packages (think they are 5 each -- uncooked Johnsonvilles)

Thx,
Gary

I can bring a dessert! Not sure what it will be just yet, and probably only one...perhaps Dark Chocolate Grand Marnier Cake!

Does anyone like pickles on their burgers or relish with their brats? Let me know and I can bring some of that too, if needs be...otherwise, will bring some for me!

I guess I could make a pan or 2 of fudge and hide it at the motel til saturday.....
Other than that, with the distance involved, I could bat cleanup and run out to the store and get whatever is in short supply when more people show up than anticipated.....

I have relish listed with Ketchup and Mustard since I know that can usually be bought in a 4 pack. 2 ketchup, 1 mustard, 1 relish. If you wanna do that Nikki let me know and I'll put ya down.

Pickles is a great idea that I forgot to list. I'll put it on the list with your name. If you change your mind jst let me know.
