Thanks for the imput, Jerry! You’re advise is always well thought and wise. I do think the poacher thing is the way to go. I do prefer to rub the cups with butter rather than cooking spray, thought. I’m going to get two and figure this is going to be and annual pre-fest event from now on, so is money well spent. I do plan on this happening every year. I do have a feeling that Useless and Lala will be regulars after this year. Useless is doing the sauce this year and not sure what she/he has in mind for keeping it warm and serving. Got the chafing dishes (2), and figure with the poachers, (2 burners, only) will have extra burners for the asparagus and one to keep sauce warm. Yes, have two gas grills for toasting the muffins.
Benny’s, fresh baked goods, bacon for Hooch, melon and grog…what more can you ask for at 9 am in the morning? You know, Eggs benedict was created by a man with the last name Benedict in I think 1826 for a hangover cure!? So, for the cure, come one, come all! :cheers :thumbsup :cheers :thumbsup :cheers :thumbsup
Everyone okay with colestrol free eggs? From right here in GJ! That should help with the original sauce for those concerned about intake.
I wonder if Mark2010 will be able to make this one…it is early…but, English breakfast…Oh, well, no matter.
Ah you forget, if its early for you Im already half way through my day and well ahead of the game. Sunday brekky -

If you want to do more eggs than 12 at a time you can just do them in a big skillet with the simmering water and a teaspoon or so of vinegar, and use a big slotted spoon to take them out of the pan. Adding salt to the water also helps it boil faster at elevation. Or you can cheat and just use over-easy fried eggs. :cheers
I love that you wrote that you did a recon at 4600’. It’s a bit higher in Telluride you know, but you’ve got the right attitude, so altitude shouldn’t be a big factor.
The eggs in the skillet with a little water and vinegar is a GREAT idea. Ya’ll are really on point! I will have an extra coleman double burner with me if any of the camps need a little extra heat for the breakfast feast. This is gonna be the best breakfast ever!!!

Where’s the bacon? I don’t see any bacon anywhere on that plate.

Quick someone stick some bacon in Hooch’s mouth. I think the bacon level in his system is getting low. :lol
Okay…egg cookery has arrived. Daughter (16) does not know this yet, but she is my test subject tomarrow morning. Eggs Benny, whether she likes it or not!
Coleman in the garage at 4600, should let me know if I can mass produce at 7500. Wish me luck, I’m going in! :thumbsup
Luck! :thumbsup
better climb up on the roof brother … :lol :lol :lol The elevation of Town Park is closer to 8750ft. Don’t forget the vinegar in the poaching water.
:peace
:waveTime to wrap up your list Lalagay and send it over so I have time to gather things up. :wave
So far I will bring:
Mix Master, Lg. mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, aprons, Lg wooden spoons, flour, sugar and what else is left to bring and how much?
I will leave a drop off time and condo location for pans and other stuff that is coming from verious folks(please mark your things so you get them back) and I will need to know who (and what camp)and how many will help for prep so I can bring an apron for them as well… Yummmmmy I can smell them baking already :thumbsup
Whats the big deal? I produce Bennys all the time in the mountains of St. Louis. Our staggering elevation of 465 ft! :lol :lol :lol
Okay…Mine are a little smaller around and perfectly round, but come out p[erfect with nice runny yokes! Used my daughter and her friend a my test subjects and I got two thumbs up! Got water boiling in 4 minutes and eggs were done in another four. I can turn out 12 eggs, perfect, in 8 minutes or less.
Guess the time is 10 am, thought it was 9, but this will give the late night picker an extra hour of sleep. So…10am it is …bring you appetite! Benny’s are a great cure for an over-hang! Not to mention a good ballast for the Rum Balls later! :thumbsup
Please! Bring you own plate and utensils! Help save the planet! And don’t forget Bloody Mary morning right next door ar 10:30am! :cheers These are to die for!
Music will be playing and if you ask the goose nicely, he might break wind. :lol :lol :lolNow that is some great breakfast music! Be sure to pet the goose for good luck!
Rock and Roll! FFFEEEESSSTTTIIIVVVAAALLL!

:cheers
Thank you brother, I am happy to join in and be a part . Ya just can’t help but love you folks :flower
Anyone have a nice quality french -fry maker they can bring that we can borrow??? I talked Steve into bringing the fryer and we thought that fresh cut fries could be a good addition for the homebrew tasting and maybe potluck and well just as snacks…
Just a note:
I was one the phone with Jailhouse Rob as he was doing “recon” on the egg cooking. It was a BLAST! just to hear how excited he was as the eggs came out “prefectly”! I heard the girls in the background singing the praises of his cooking. What a joy to at least be a part of all this, even if it was only on the phone. Next time… and very soon!.. we’ll do it again in Town Park! :thumbsup
We still need some folks to bring fresh fruit for the Benny’s Breakfast. If you can do this we’d love for you to speak up as soon as possible.
Please remember, and tell your fellow Festivarians, to bring your own plates & forks, and cups for the Bloody Mary’s should be about the size of KOTO beer cups so we have enough to go around for all that wish to join us for breakfast.
Thanks to EVERYONE that has already offered to help on Wednesday morning and we can’t wait to meet all of you, some of you again, in Town Park!
:woohoo FESTIVVVAAALLL!!! :woohoo
