Bring Your Own Dish - food night

[Gromit]

In principle, it sounds like a brilliant idea.

In practice, I'm not sure how many urbanites there are going to be in Westest Wales...

For a food party... I can make the 2 hour drive.

I need to get my kitchen sorted in my new house first mind.

We could have same dishes/theme on the same night..... just different parts of the country, different countries, the world even and then have a post-mastication chat online

Good come back

So, anyway, I am up for this, when shall we do it?

With all this showing off of having proper napkins, ice cream dishes and dinner tables i'm feeling a little inferior .

Just checked the diary and it's a busy time coming up, but I can do Friday 27th July and host here (left overs for the Crystal Palace Park Bowl picnic on Saturday)

You don't think I USE the napkins or matching cutlery or placemats, do you?

The dining table is completely covered with piles of boxes and rubbish and hasn't been used as a dining table since my daughter hosted a "murder mystery" dinner party ages ago!

I could bring it into use if I was hosting a dinner party, though, and would like to do so. If the weather is good, I have the patio, too, with my nice new furniture, courtesy of lidl, which has hardly been used because of the sodding weather.

Assuming I don't get offered a ticket to either the Cambridge Folk Festival or Womad, both of which are that weekend, I would be up for this. Can't confirm yet, though, so you may wish to keep me on your reserve list...

I love this idea - I have no dining room table per se but space for about 6 to eat. I love cooking though so am happy to arrive with dish. I can't do 27th though and am pretty busy this month and next with uni, but if this becomes a regular thing I'd be well up for it. I'm all about the food...

 

[alien nation]

It's nice so many people want to do it, but can anyone actually make 27th July?

 

[foamy]

no

 

[Stig]

No, that day we have either rich!'s dad, or we're cancelling him because we're away.

 

[Maggot]

It's nice so many people want to do it, but can anyone actually make 27th July?

I might be able to.

 

[beeboo]

27th sounds alright

 

[Gromit]

Well after moving into my new house it appears that my entire cooking facilities for quite some time will consist of a toaster, a kettle and a microwave.

Which means I'm out. 27th was incovienient anyway. I'll be hung over from the night before.

 

[Ms T]

I can't do the 27th, I'm afraid.

 

[Maggot]

So what's happening with this? I'm guessing it's too late to do the 27th now.

 

[beeboo]

Might have been a bit much between offline and the CP Bowl anyway.

But I'm still keen for another date.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Me too! Lots of them

Also happy to host one, after my daughter has taken all her stuff away, and freed up some space. Particularly since I have now posted up the squalor which I call home on the keyhole thread, so destroyed the image I am sure you all had of me living in a posh house

 

[alien nation]

We're away for a while and then there is LD and Ngeru's leaving party on the last weekend of August - so how about September dates?

Sounds good to me, we'll be around more then!

 

[beeboo]

quite busy in September, but name a date and if I'm free, I'll get cooking

 

[Guineveretoo]

Sounds good to me, too, although I have quite a few dates not available.

I am also wanting to hold the Urban Quiz on a Friday in September, so can you consult over dates, to avoid a clash?

Would'nt miss the Urban Quiz for anything

 

[Maggot]

Just wondering if this is still gonna happen?

 

[Guineveretoo]

I am up for it, and will happily host one. My cooker is being fixed next week, too

 

[beeboo]

I'd be in

 

[innit]

I'd be up for it

 

[Ms T]

And me. When I get back from holiday.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Sounds like it might happen! All we need is someone to pick a date and a theme, and tell people what to bring (otherwise, we might end up with a load of puddings and no main course )

If you're hosting it, then it makes sense for you to chose the date and the theme.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Ooh, am I hosting it? I will have to chase that man who is supposed to be fixing my oven but keeps failing to turn up!

I will also have to clear out my dining room, which is a major task, since it is full of rubbish, and has been unuseable for months.

Other than that, I am happy to host it.

In fact, it would be good for me - I could use the incentive to get round to sorting out the dining room...

Hmm - I will think about that...

 

[mrsfran]

Oooh, I'll come!

 

[Cloo]

Middle two weeks of April are bad for me, but other times might be good. Certainly up for this.
