Hey everyone...you know, we're all gonna wanna stuff our faces on vacation, cause that's just part of the fun, right? Well, here's what we've come up with to try to save everyone a little hard earned cash, plus, just because it seems like a good way to do things...read on...
I figure we will arrive at our destination somewhere around 5 or 6 pm, give and take traffic conditions as well as the time we will be sitting on our butts at the realtors waiting for our keys. Anyway, we're all going to be a bit tired and the idea of pizza or sandwiches the first night seems like a good one. Anyone agree? Let me know your thoughts!
Now, getting onto the rest of the week...Not counting Saturday night (our night of arrival) we have 6 days and nights to think about meals. (Sunday thru Friday)...Wednesday night of that week, we've all pretty much agreed that it would be way cool to do a big SEAFOOD FEST outside at the pool with Beer, Coleslaw and French Fries, and of course, Sea Food!!! If each couple can plan ahead of time what type of seafood they would like to contribute to this meal, we will have five different things to stuff into our bellies! Ideas include crab, shrimp, clams, fish, and whatever your favorite seafood happens to be. Oh, and hopefully we catch a few blues, sea-trout or whatever from the beach in the days preceding Wednesday night! I happen to be really looking forward to Wednesday night!! Ohhhh, let's not forget the RED SOLO CUPS! (lol)
We've decided to handle the rest of the meals in the following way...Each couple will be responsible for ONE Breakfast and ONE dinner and will buy the food as well as prepare it. These meals can be as simple or as elaborate as you desire, from cereals to pancakes or spaghetti to porkchops! YUM. You decide! Lunches and snacks will be left to each couple, in other words, buy your own snacks and lunches, of course if you decide to share, that won't be a problem either. This refers also to beverages, alcoholic or otherwise...Bring your own! We can always take home whatever we don't consume.
Think about all this and if you're really up to it, start sharing some comments, ideas or whatever, here on this blog. Geeez, you can even let us know what meals you want to prepare and when! I don't know about you but I'd like get my meals done early in the week, so I can sit back, relax and enjoy everyone else cooking for me!
Food is wonderful on vacation!!! I would like to make burgers, ribs and hotdogs one night on the grill. And breakfast, I wanna do scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast... And orange juice. Seafood night I am gonna make crab cakes... And some kind of shrimp/sausage/clam bake with corn on the cob and potatoes. And I am deffinately gonna bring some beer, whiskey and wine.
ReplyDeleteWow Art, that sounds great!!! Are you sure you're up to making all that food?
DeleteSounds good to me. Are we doing the breakfast and dinner on the same day? Meaning art and I will cook breakfast and dinner on say Tuesday? Or separate days? I think it would be confusing on separate days but people may also not want to cook two meals in one day. I wouldnt mind doing that just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHi Shan! regarding your question, you can do breakfast and dinner on whatever days you want! I agree with you on both counts, that it might be confusing on separate days, but that some might not want to do two meals on the same day. Personally, I'd probably want to do them both on the same day, just to get it over with, and I might do that, but whatever everyone else wants to do is totally up to them!
DeleteI want to do Mexican one nite... some tacos, enchiladas, homemade salsa, etc.. I'll pick Monday nite.. and for seafood we'll do salmon cause that is my fav and I know Rob likes salmon... and for breakfast I'll get back to you...
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteSounds Great!
Hey, I like Salmon too!
I was going to pick mexican night but chris beat me to it! Haha, so me and Kevin are thinking maybe italian night..baked ziti and salad with garlic bread. Always a very easy dish to make lots of. Breakfast, maybe we'll do some tradional french toast and bacon! But it's still up in the air. I'll need ideas for seafood..looks like everyone got all the good stuff covered. Maybe we could do some side dishes to go with the seafood if anyone has ideas. I'm extremely late on this blog thing.
ReplyDeleteWell Mallory and Kev...
Deletethere's always tuna fish. LOL
All kidding aside, there is plenty of good stuff left...
Swordfish, Mussels, Flounder, Bluefish, Talapia, Scallops, etc.
By the way, Baked Ziti sounds Good!
