For all those staying with us at Battle River Lodge for Slabfest

[Paul Waldowski]

Ok guys,

We are starting to get close to this event. What does everyone want to do? I figured if each group of guy brings up one thing for a kind of potluck. We should be good to go. I know Cheffrey was talking about bringing up steaks for one night and I would be more than willing to bring up a couple of pans of Lasagna for the other. Looking for guys to bring something for lunch out on the ice for Saturday and maybe something for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning. What does everyone think of that??

BTW the final tally is 10:

Myself

sheepheadslayer (Kevin)

Harvey Lee

Dietz and Dad

TT from Blaine

ST (Frank)

Boilerguy and Son

Cheffrey

[harvey lee]

I will bring 2-3 dozen eggs, sausage or good bacon, and bread for toast. I will also have some salt and pepper and some type of preserve for the toast.

That should take care of 1 breakfest.

[TTfromBlaine]

I was thinking venison brats and maybe regular ones incase somebody can't eat venison, for lunch on ice jut need to figure a way to cook'em though.

[Paul Waldowski]

T,

I will have a gas grill with that we could use

[harvey lee]

I will also bring some venison sausage and cheese with crackers for a snack right before the happy hour.

[TTfromBlaine]

That would be great Paul, I just keep thinkin how good that veny was on Hansons grill last year I have a little charcol one but its a hassle if your on the move. and H.L. I can see great minds think alike

ICE DOG 1 out

[Tom Linderholm]

I will bring plenty of steaks for 10, I'll figure out sides for it as well. You can count on one dinner out of me.

[Paul Waldowski]

Cheffrey,

Let's plan on you doing dinner on Friday night.

Alright we now have dinner both nights covered, lunch on the ice on Saturday, breakfast on Saturday, some snacks covered. Looking for breakfast and lunch on Sunday.

[Surface Tension]

I'll take care of breakfast on Sunday.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Chips and sandwichs sound good for Sunday lunch??? I can take care of that.

[harvey lee]

The butcher plant just called and said my Lake trout from the Burntside bash is done being smoked. I will also bring that along for a small treat.

[Sheephead Slayer]

Paul, give me a buzz with whatever you need me to bring.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I can bring burgers, and cheese and buns ect... Or, paul if you can think of something better.. I would be more than happy to do that as well... TALK TO ME OHHH GRAND PUBA!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Actually it almost looks like all the meals are covered.. can I help someone with theirs?.. Or buy something to go with another meal?.. a load of chips?... Bunch of cookies and munchie type stuff? brownies?

[harvey lee]

Dietz, you could bring some extra cheese and crackers and I will bring plenty of venison sausage all cut up. We can always have some crackers with the smoked laker I am bringing with.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Alrighty then.. I will bring a selection of crackers.. and some cut up cheese.

[harvey lee]

If the fishing is slow, we will eat good.

[Eric Wettschreck]

After this weekend is over I'm going to have to go on a diet. Or, maybe not.
