D'ARBONNE FOOD THREAD

WANTED to wait til october to start this. any earlier, and i would be hungry for waaaaayyyyyy too long!! haha

i'm hoping scott will spearhead this again this year. anyway--you can post here what groceries you will be bringing to darbonne. in case we have any first timers, here is what we do. most arrive thursday, and that night we all just normally eat on our own. although last year we fired up the grill at our cabin and we all brought our own meat to cook. then friday, we have a big pot luck supper. this is where everyone brings their specialty. if you dont wanna cook, we can always use drinks, plates, plasticware, napkins, etc.

then saturday we all donate fish to the fish fry. but we also need things like fries, onion rings, hush puppies, ketchup, tartar sauce, tabasco, as well as more plates, etc. we also need several big fryers to fry up the goodies.

so yall post here what you plan to bring!! i will start!!

butt bites--friday
aluminum trays and paper towels for saturday
name tags/sharpies
salt/pepper/tony's

can't wait to get my mouth watering!!

doc :)

I'll be glad to track it Mark. I'll let some folks start replying first, then I'll assemble and maintain a running list with posts every so often. Already looking forward to seeing everyone as well, and hopefully enjoying the bounty of D'Arbonne. :)

I will bring a 6 gallon fryer with oil. Will decide on what food to bring later.

don't think dwyane is bringing shrimp. its been very tough on catching shrimp lately. i talked to him last night. and i don't think bigjohn is coming til saturday night. so i doubt we will have any quail either.

bummer!!

I'll bring sauce picante and rice for Friday night and an ice chest of soft drinks for Friday and Saturday. I'll bring a dessert also. Man I really hate we'll miss the shrimp and quail..........

Here's an updated list. I'll have to figure out something I can bring a little closer to the time....

DocWaldo- butt bites, aluminum trays, paper towels, name tags, sharpies, salt, pepper, Tony’s, shop light
RMGeorge – 6 gallon fryer with oil, smoked pork ribs, tater salad, LA Crispy fish fry mix
GreenShiner – fries, ketchup, tartar sauce, fryer, oil
Maxwell328 – 2 smoked briskets, BBQ sauce, foil pans, stack of plates, sweet tea, lemons, plastic forks/spoons, napkins
Bflowers – 2 burner cooker, pots and oil, big coffee pot and supplies, big garbage bags, baked beans, canopy tent
Southern Chuter – Sauce picante and rice, soft drinks, dessert

By popular demand and threats on my life :bash, boudin balls.
''gene"

pastor's brother randy will bring enough fish fry for all the fish. just wanted to make sure we got this listed. also some corndogs that bite back LOL

What is a Pot Luck dinner without Deviled eggs, Devil Iconabout 3 or 4 dozen --- two Pecan Pies

Just so everyone knows, Randy's fish fry mix is NOT gluten free, but is a little spicy; although it is not any spicier than any of the other fish fry mixes on the market. He is in the catering business and realized that he needed to create a product that would reach over 90% of the people.

We probably need to make sure we have some plain ole meal there to fry some of the fish in. Plus, please realize that all of this hinges on me not having some type of emergency that I need to take care of as a pastor. If something were to happen so that I couldn't come, I don't know if Randy would go either since he was planning on fishing with me.

I will bring some plain ole yellow corn meal and some salt to season it with to fry some of the fish in on Saturday.

I will be driving up there early Saturday morning. Should Pastor have an emergency and cannot go I can bring fish fry with me for the Saturday night fish fry.

Hey Scott, Randy will only be able to cook the Cajun Corn Dogs on Friday night if they have a 220 electrical outlet in the lodge that he can plug into. His corn dog fryer requires 220. Docwaldo is trying to find out if a 220 is available.

hey lavelle, i talked to a lady at the state park and she said, and i quote, "oh, i'm sure there is a plug somewhere." so if this is okay, i will get there thursday and call ya thursday night and let ya know for sure. also i will text ya a pic of the actual female plug. i hope this works out. i love me a good corndog.

doc :)

you ain't redneck if you don't like corn dogs...with ketchup & mustard....my neck is very red.....

I just want to warn you folks. If the plug works and Randy can cook ya'll some of his Cajun Corn Dogs, you won't ever be the same again and you will never be satisfied with a plain ole corn dog again. They are almost addictive. :crazy:You can see what they have done to me. LOL.

Will bring cooker and oil and most of the fish for Saturday night. If able to come friday I'll line up something to bring

Scott, go ahead and put me down for a dessert. Sorry fellows the shrimping was really tough this year so I will not be bringing any shrimp to fry. I am thinking about bringing some of "Kathy's Nanner Pudding" Several of yall remember the recipe I'm sure. It comes from Jerry's (LaStumpJumper) wife Kathy, they are from Arkansas and use to make several of our gatherings.

I did not see any Gumbo listed and I know that all "good gumbo" is made in the southern part of our state, but I will bring some of my seafood gumbo for Friday night along with some rice to put it over. Maybe you fellers from the southern part of our state can give me some pointers.

Here's one Pastor

Here's another

I could possibly add some gumbo for one night. It will be chicken and sausage though, don't care much for any other kind, except duck and sausage, and I do have some ducks in my freezer so who knows?!

I am going to bring BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches. These were a big hit at a family reunion this year. Wrapped and ready to eat.

Fellas, here's an updated list for now. If you post that you 'might' bring something, I'm going ahead and adding it to the list, so let me know if anything changes as you see updates.

Another thing...as of right now I believe there are 4 people volunteering cookers and oil, so please keep that in mind as we figure out how many are actually needed. I'm not usually outside with the fryers so if anyone wants to speak up about that, feel free.

hey scott, my buddy randie is gonna bring some crab dip and crackers. something we can snack on pre-meal!!!

i think we can use all the fryers. its better to fry everything quicker, than take 14 forevers to get everything fried. so if you dont mind bringing your fryer, thats great!!. thanks scott for keeping track of all this craziness.

doc :)

Bread pudding for Friday night.
"gene"

I'll bring mine Thursday afternoon so the early birds will have something.........

Tell Doc that Bonnie will make some Spicy Crackers. She talked about bringing some homemade meatball sliders. We'll see about that as she may decide on something else at the last minute. She said some kind of cake also. Probably one each night. I will probably bring some Cole Slaw for Saturday along with tarter sauce.

Tell Mrs Bonnie that Joey & Kevin are ready to help her fry the hush puppies on Sat night if she will mix them up. Jumping Jacks Icon

Jalapeño hush puppies, Carrot cake.
