Message from the Food Criminal

Dear Campers,

Food crime boy here. Since this gathering is gathering tradition - 15 years now! - I am sponsoring the following favorites for this year's festivities. Yes, they are old favorites but this year the twists and additions to the event, as of this date - 18 June - they are as follows:

Friday night is pizza night. Steph and Sequoia are running the show. I believe Sequoia is making the dough. Steph asks that you bring the following:

Sauce and toppings for pizza.
Salad, fixed or fixin's
Fruit
Desert

The tradition of this meal: Come on. Friday night pizza? What could be better that? Bring on your favorite sauce, your favorite toppings! The vehicle for you favorites - the crust - awaits. And sharing is good...

Saturday night is Siskiyou Taco night. After 15 years I finally have three Weber kettles showing up for the event. I'm puttin' them to use. We also have a new friend who's puttin' a foot forward. To date, what is being served is:

I'm providing fry bread, vegetarian beans, and four pork butts worth of pulled pork.
Steph is makin' some slaw.
Our new friend Terry is bringing two BBQ competition sized beef briskets prepared BBQ competition style (i.e. smoked for 18 hours over a slow flame of Terry's choosing. Stuff like this is a labor of love for omnivores...)
Our long-time friend Jim Lovill is probably bringing a number of Marin bivalves, the exact number known only to him, to kick off the festivities.

What I dream of:

A 12 pound ling cod. For the fish taco folks. Don't have it yet.

What you can bring:

Taco Toppings: Salsa, Cheese, etc.
Your favorite BBQ side
Corn on the cob (Grill it all, we'll sort it out and serve it Kiwana's style ifin' you want butter on that)
Grillin' Veggies
Salad, fixin's or fixed
Fruit
Desert

The tradition of this meal: It is James Dean's favorite.

Weather notes: Bring something warm. Nights might get chilly.

Swimmin' Hole Report: It's there. It's cold. Verrrry cold...

The bottom line: No matter what happens we never go hungry, eat pretty well, and have a better time...

Love you all,

Lowell
