Sat July 21 at 3:00 PM, Domain of Ace
4414 SE Center St, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)
This time around it'll be on Saturday, July 21st
As usual, we'll do this potluck style.
There's a high probability that Greg will provide smoked meats.
What does everyone else want to bring?

The 21st was mentioned as a good day by someone else. dorey_oh, maybe?
Should we go with that?
Presumably at Greg's house since he hasn't said we can't?

Fine with me, unless people would prefer Caldera. But of course they don't have smoked meats....

Not sure I'll be available that weekend but don't let that stop you.

The 21st would work for me. The 22nd is the one day I can't make it, though.

Ok, so the 21st sounds like it will work. Time?
Shall we stick with 2:00 or 3:00 pm? Or move it to 4:00 or 5:00pm?

Yes, the 21st works for me. Any time is good. Will probably bring pie - I'm trying to get the technique down, and you all make good practice subjects!

I'm not sure what Brian (Somnolent Jack) and I will bring--maybe homemade baked mac & cheese, or something more elaborate--I'm a bit of an obsessive baker but since dorey_oh has pie covered, I'll have to think of something else!

Ha! Not intending to box any other bakers out of bringing a dessert by signing up for pie :) It shall be raspberry this time, as July is raspberry season here.
OTOH, if baking a pie means that someone else makes delicious, delicious homemade mac & cheese, I may have to call first dibs on bringing dessert forevermore.

Hmmmmm. I was originally thinking about doing (along with barbecued protein) something with potatoes roasted in duck fat...but I also have a decent mac'n'cheese recipe. I'm willing to choose via popular vote, so let me know which you would prefer.

I know I'll certainly be there...
(also, I just re-read the thread and realized that nonmerci/Somnolent Jack may be making mac & cheese, so I'll go back to my original potato idea.)

We're going to be living life to the fullest in Cleveland, OH that weekend, so we won't be able to make it. I hope somebody comments in this thread to let me know what I would have been able to ignore if I'd been at this meetup, though!

I'm not sure I have enough letters for an "Ignore Cortex & Secretariat" banner, so I guess I'll have to come up with something else.

How about ignore Ohio? That would encompass them both.

I'm bringing key lime pie. Treasure it people because I make once every 5 years.
Hand juicing 10 limes is hard work.

I think we should allow Greg to choose what should be ignored.
(he is in possession of the letters after all)

Regarding the key lime pie: I am prepared to treasure to the fullest. Might one preemptively request a recipe as well, to be brought along to the event or emailed at a time of your choosing?

I'll be there 4ish and will probably bring beer since I'm traveling today and won't have time to make something.
