Dork-A-Thon Food Plans

[hkellick]

Upon thinking about it, since we will have 11 people around for a little over 24 hours, ecwoodburn and I came up with some plans for feeding everyone (since, unlike someplace last year, there will be alot of us in a relatively small confined place without food being all over.)
Here's what we've come up with.. feel free to offer suggestions and/or complaints. This is NOT finalized.
Friday Lunch - Should be just ecwoodburn, kholnuu and possibly dawnstar and kolys. I'm thinking Chinese Food. There's a place near me that's pretty close.. they have a good lunch meal (under $4 for a drink and a plate of chinese food) or we could order a couple large plates and split it five ways.
Friday Dinner - I'm thinking a late dinner out with Boston Peeps. We'll decide the appropriate place then.
Saturday Lunch - All 11 of us should be over now. Most of us have limited funds. As such, I was thinking Saturday would be a good day for a couple of home meals. We were thinking sandwhiches and/or subs (dependant on if I can find sub rolls) for lunch. I'd get some ham, turkey, cheese, lettuce etc. and that's one meal down.
Saturday Dinner - Grill Hot Dogs and Hamburgers. Add potato chips and possibly some potato or macaroni salad, and we have another fairly cheap and easy dinner :)
Sunday Lunch - Dependant on phinnia and tallin (as well as when people want to go home.) I picture Sunday Lunch being a good time to meet up with TalPhinnia (and for myself to clean house. WooFunYay :p ) If people DON'T want to meet TalPhinnia for Lunch, perhaps Pizza.
Sunday Dinner - Should be just ecwoodburn, kholnuu and myself. We'll figure it out then.

Suggestions? Comments? Complaints? Exceptions?

Oh.. nearly forgot.. I'm taking donations towards meals and snacks. I'll basically buy the stuff, cut the cost 11 ways and round to the nearest dollar. I'm expecting it to be between $5 and $10 (Hopefully closer to $5). If you can't donate, then don't worry about it, but if you can, that'd be nifty :)

Janine and I can donate whatever, and that sounds good. We'll be around Sunday evening as well, if you want more company with your dinner. (If not, that's cool.) I can help with grilling and sub preparation and whatnot. (Used to work at subway...heh. As if that counts for anything.)

Yeah... cool.

Sounds good, and I can donate and such. Can I make a request for genoa salami as one of the cold cuts that you get for Saturday lunch? I'm picky and such. ;)

I'll try to remember to look for it when I get foodstuffs. :)

Works for me.

Hmm, well, here's where I be difficult and mention that I'm a vegetarian. This is not a firm requirement, though... I've kind of eased into it by accident and I'd eat meat if there aren't any other choices. Chinese works, and sandwiches too (I might bring along "meatless deli slices" or some other thing like that...). Grilled stuff is fine, I'll bring veggie-burgers. As for whatever else happens, usually I can fend for myself at a restaurant. So keep me in mind, but I can deal with whatever if need be.

Also, I don't mind donating money toward meals.

I thought there might be a vegetarian in here somewhere. Just by odds and such -- I'm not, but I'm a picky eater, and I know enough other people with various pickiness/allergies/voluntary food choices...

Anything in particular that you'd recommend?

That could feed a bunch of people and not make them angry about the lack of MEEEAAAT? Not really ;) But it's ok... what we have so far looks good. Perhaps something on the side with the subs might help, but nothing springs to mind. Fruit might be nice. I'm not that good at feeding a ton of people, so that's all I can think of.

I was going to buy some salad as well. If not for with the subs/sandwhiches, then with the grilling.
Also, there will be fresh veggies and whatever else snack wise so people shan't be starving.

Fruit not a bad idea -- bags of apples or the like aren't hard to come by.

Come to think of it, I've got most of a bag of apples in my fridge. I could bring them along.

Heh. OK. Works for me :)

Works for me. :) I'd just like to mention that I'm strictly carnivorous, and will eat any herbivores for lunch!

Ok, I'm actually kidding. I think. I hope. Dear gravy, I need to stop thinking out loud!!

I am also a non-cannibalistic carnivore.
