I'm thinking you take the sugar out of marshmallows...you have air....

Flygirl, haven't heard much from her.

[UdeLakeTom]

Here they are...

[reelemin]

cool- who wudda thunk -

[reelemin]

ahhhh - but how do they taste ????

and if bad, does roasting them over a beautiful camp after a great day of fishing, make them taste better ?

[UdeLakeTom]

All Barb asked is if they exist...I found them, now somebody has to try them...

[reelemin]

ohhh now ya tell us, after we got our hopes up and all.

where did you find them, I'll be the ginnypig -

[UdeLakeTom]

I did a google...These are mail order. I don't know if the chain stores handle them or not. Google the brand and they will show up.

[Patti]

Well, I bought 3 bags of real marshmallows. I'll bend the hangers for roasting. When I go back to the store for the ribs I'll check the natural section for the sugarless marshmallows. With the concern over sugar, I'm gonna skip the graham crackers and chocolate.

I'm also bringing up my famous boneless country style ribs (ok, so they're only famous to my family). To go with those, I'm bringing the Mrs. Dee's hashbrown patties. You throw them on the grill frozen and they're amazing. If there are leftover hashbrown patties we can always make them for breakfast. Are there actual bbq's? or do I need to get my portable gas grill cleaned up?

Fishing gear? Well, I'm bringing my 14 ft., '60 crestliner, '63 18hp johnson, trolling motor, depth finder, bait bucket and scoop, fish basket (no livewell), 3rd seat to attach to the wooden bench seat, landing net, 3 life jackets, 2 fishing rods and my tackle box.

Anyone have a lake map to make copies of? Or should I pick one up? (I have no luck with the online ones)

[Peachy]

Tom, why dont u be a sweetheart (and our guinea pig) and try the sugarfree marshmallows and let us know?

I was kidding about the marshmallows, bring the grahams and chocolate. I have learned how to live with this thing and can have marshmallows in moderation.

[teresa]

Patti....you will be the hit of the party with bbq ribs!! Char and I both have gas grills, and I'm bringing a tripod for over the fire this time. I have plenty of extra roasting sticks for everyone too.

I am just dreaming of the corn on the cob....

I think the left over hashbrowns we should just mix with the fish for our breakfast...mmmmmmm.....

[UdeLakeTom]

Typical, make a guy do searching and then change your mind.

And no I am not going to try the sugar-free..

I fell for that once, try them, you will like it, these are different then the others.

[glenn57]

Sounds like it's going to be a beautiful weekend.

I also have roasting sticks I'll bring up - don't bend the hangars. I also have those pie irons and will bring them along.

Tami - I am leaving Fri morning as well. My cell # is 612-723-0167.

[muskybait]

I can't wait... I will be there in the afternoon 2-3. I work til midnight tonight and off for the weekend. as you know I don't have weekends off so very excited....

[teresa]

OHHHHHHHHHHH...I WANT to leave Friday morning, but most likely won't be pulling in until about 4. Just in time for the late bite if anyone is up for it.

[Patti]

I did pick up the chocolate and grahams.

The ribs aren't a big deal. Cub had a great

deal - $1/lb. I just bake them up ahead of time

and throw them on the grill with bbq sauce to

warm them up.

I think Teresa said something about picking up

leeches? Should I pick up some crappie minnows

or something on my way up Sat. morning?

[teresa]

Barb is the leech lady....and yes, I think a few minnows would be great. I would prefer to fish with minnows...but we'll have to see what's biting. I'll bring some crawlers on Friday.

[teresa]

oh just wait Patti....you're going to love this bunch!

[teresa]

Hey, what's that game we all wanted to learn this time around???

[muskybait]

stovepipe???

[teresa]

no, and not twigs and berries

[reelemin]

Hey, what's that game we all wanted to learn this time around???

I have no idea what you are talking about. But if talked about late that sat night, I would remember much anyways.

[reelemin]

Hey Char - it be you and me for a midday swing of the lake. Drop a few lines and we have fish for lunch -
