See Ya when I get there!
I’m sorry…but unless you’re making Margaritas in the cuisinart I’m not interested in where it is…
I just need to know if you found the Waffle Irons!!!
Waffle Irons - Check , Check, & double check
Cuisnart - Check
We need it for the homemade pasta feed Saturday night, you haven’t lived until you’ve had the run a muck fresh pasta noodles. Be extra nice to me, and I might make Ravioli.
Now I can’t find the damn camera - will you take pics for me?
Better go feed the sourdough tonight.
:cheers

:cheers :thumbsup :cheers :thumbsup :cheers :thumbsup :cheers
Which Saturday night is that Jerry??? Red or white wine??? :cheers
That would be during festival 6/23. Red wine of course, its magic marinara at a very high altitude or is that attitude. 
When do you depart?
:cheers :cheers :cheers
Hi Jerry! How’s it going? Are you ready to go? Packed, stacked, and racked? When are you leaving? Any last thoughts for the rest of us before you go? I’ll see you in THREE days!!

just got off the phone with Hope Lin - she’s still in Florida.
I’m beginning to wonder where all of this stuff in my front yard came from. The kitchen floor needs mopping, and refrigerator cleaned, and I have this really bad case of pbfs. Maybe a fat tire will quench it for a few hours. I need Daniala to come over here right now with her ziplocks to help me repack my backpack, she is the queen for that idea.
In other words all is about as can be expected considering my “condition” - I think it’s contagious
:cheers :cheers :cheers
It’s totally contagious, Jerry!! And I’d love nothing more than to come help you ziploc your outfits. Packing for Telluride sounds like much more fun than sitting at work in a cubicle, DREAMING about packing for Telluride. I also have a serious case of PBFS. :love :love
Can I go right now?
Daniela - I feel your pain. I cannot wait to be out of the office and into a festival chair!!
I’m still thinking about what to pack. I do best if I pack the liquor first, then the ice and mixers(and of course the martini shaker), then the tent and sleeping bag, liquor, then a chair, liquor, a flashlight, mucho dinero, a hat and some clothes, more liquor, and if there’s room for anything else, it goes in the car. Priorities, you know? If I pack too soon, I bring wayyyyy too much. By putting the liquor in first I know I have my priorities in order :cheers :pickin :rock
maybe I should call my camp(bar) Howlin at the moonshine?
or, how about Camp Stir It Up Little Darlin? :cheers
Oh, will you quench me while I’m thirsty?
Come and cool me down when I’m hot?
Your recipe, darling, is so tasty
And you sure can stir your pot
So stir it up, little darling, stir it up
Come on and stir it up, oh, little darling, stir it up
Come on and stir it up, oh, little darling, stir it up
just got back from Wakarusa in Kansas.
Trying to remember all the things we decided to redo for Telluride.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a container in the cooler that will keep food thing cold without the melted ice getting in and making things soggy? I tried plastic bags but they didn’t work.
not too bad. Will be cleaning the tent and sleeping bags this weekend to repack … only a week away! :pirate
get thyself to a tupperware party today :lol :lol :lol :lol
:cheers
Who said I wasn’t sitting in a festival chair?? Reaching that keyboard is kind of a challenge, though. :lol :lol :lol :lol
The thing I always do w/ my food cooler…is to use tuperware/rubermaid, and a zip locks if possible. And instead of throwing a bunch of loose ice in the cooler. Before you leave freeze a couple 1/2 gallon jugs of H2O. Those solid blocks stay solid and cold a realy long time…Put those on the bottom and then a bag of ICE still in the bag between them, then add food and cover food w/ loose ice. Each day just drain what water has built up…and top off w/ just a bit of fresh loose ice. I made it thru 5 days at Bonnaroo back in 03(last time I went) and my 1/2 gallon containers were still pretty solid and some of my meat stayed frozen for 4 days in the HOT TENNESEE :sunshine using one of them Coleman 5 day coolers of course. Just open it when ya absolutely have to. It helps not opening it to “see what ya have to eat.” Then use a seperate cooler for beverages. Since thats the one you’ll be getting into mostly :cheers Another thing…freeze any meat your’re taking w/ ya…it keeps much longer in a cooler when starting off frozen from your freezer …and not store self cold!
Hey Daniela, I know you not sitting in a festival chair! Your sitting on that ball aren’t you!!!
:thumbsup
Good advice on the cooler thing folks… I have one more suggestion that will make your life easier. :thumbsup
Take along a large fluffy beach towel for each of your coolers. Drape the towel over the cooler and soak it with water. The natural evaporation in this high dry climate will act as an extra layer of cooling, preseve your ice, supply, and discourage folks from :quote Peeking :quote inside to see what kinda munchies are in there.
I leave in just about 30 hour… The fever is getting worse.
:cheers
Here’s my cooler system… suitable for a “standard issue” blue coleman or the likes… two solid blocks of ice on each side of the cooler…they fit perfectly… then put a plastic tupper container between them for the cheese and other things you don’t want to get wet… pile everything else on top. The blocks last for several days. The blocks are a little easier to work with than the frozen containers for space reasons. And, I concur with Jerry… freeze everything and anything you can before hand:)
In Peace,
Michelle
great cooler maintenance tips…I was stressing a little about how not to have watered down hummus and cheese. :lol
also does anyone ever use dry ice, or is that overrated?
Yeah, I’m stressing about this too…LOL… Looks like we won;t leave until tommorow morning… So, we will have several hours of quite “toasty” temps in the van… The Van doesnt have AC and high is forecasted here tommorow of 106… I just want to keep the stuff cold enough so we dont die of food poisoning once we get there… and YES, I hate soggy food…
You know, I was toying with this idea as well… I was thinking of putting ice on the bottom of cooler and then using a cat box liner to line the cooler and put food in that to prevent it falling into the ice water and then topping with the frozen water bottles…
