victuals

Laura brought up the question of whether we could plan more meals together during the reunion. Like her, I thought that our dinners last year were a highlight. I enjoyed sharing recipes and styles of eating; I guess I'm a believer in the ritual of sharing food. I suppose that we will be occupied on Friday, but see no reason that we couldn't arrange formal meals (certainly lunch and dinner) on Saturday and Sunday (how late will you be staying in Boise, Laura?) -- as long as most of us can congregate at the rental house.

What does everyone else think? Should I try to make a schedule? Andrea, you mentioned being willing to help with a meal on Saturday -- would you prefer to continue our collaboration, or would you rather take the lead at a later time? Again, I think that we will try to keep things informal and quick -- but those are often the kinds of recipes that are most in demand in our house.

I will be whatever help I can. Either Travis or myself could help clean up or help chop (or whatever). As far as being in charge of a meal, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

We will be around until Sunday afternoon. I think we'll leave right after lunch so we can take advantage of Ethan's nap in the car. As far as meals together, let me know what I can do to help. By the way does anyone know if there is a grill at the rental house? (Stephen and Shawna, you went by the place didn't you?)

We should do something together Thursday night too so we can include the Shakespeares before they head to Utah.

Yep. There was a grill at the rental house. (I didnt see if it was propane or charcoal.)

Steve and I were planning on bringing over the leftover hamburgers/hotdogs from our wedding to stock the freezer for you guys.
