Potential Hoarders G2G near Quad Cities, IL

Go ahead

 

Not unless I decided to bring these



No guarantees that I could attend at the moment anyway,even one 2 hours away.What with gas,hotel etc..Work has been spotty this spring,cost me a pretty penny to get the SP125 electrical problem fixed + the other usual expenses.But we'll see what happens in the next few months......

 

You won't need a hotel. Just bring a tent and a sleeping bag. I am taking care of food and beverage. Just get there and you're set.

 

We need walking tacos.

 

Sounds interesting.

 

LOL just like a stand at the State Fair & quite a few farm/estate auctions I remember going to in the past.....Now I'm hungry.Will wait for breakfast to eat though.Ate a big lunch early afternoon,wasnt hungry at regular dinner time.

 

Yep, they are delicious and well suited for events like this. Maybe it's an Iowa thing.

 

8 Hours from here... That might be a doable trip..

 

Okay, I had to google walking tacos to find out what they were. what a neat idea for an outdoor gathering or even indoors. Next family gathering I will have to introduce the family to them. Doesn't take long for a regional food to go global.

 

The ones we get around here ALWAYS use Doritos instead of Fritos. IMO that's the difference between walking tacos and Frito pie, and I much prefer the less salty taste of the Doritos. I did a quick google search and at least one link called it an Iowa tradition, so maybe it is more regional thank I thought. They popped up around here in the year 2000 (in the year two thous-and).

 

I make what we call haystacks and it is good for a big gathering. Base of corn chips on a plate, warmed up refried beans mixed with salsa heaped on top, cheese and then salad toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, red peppers, cucumbers, olives, etc topped with salad dressing.

 

So I was thinking... you said HOG? Why not a Filipino box spring hog?

Today's recipe comes from Tom Waits.

Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road
fill it with madron and bay.
Stinks like hell and the neighbors complain
don't give a hoot what they say.
You gotta smack that hog,
roll him over twice,
gotta baste it with a sweeping broom.
You gotta swat them flies and chain up the dog

Seven and a half hours for me, will have ponder this one.

 

Not enough interest. Can't have a gathering with 2 guys. Maybe next time.

 

Highlander did.

 

If you're up for it, FC, let's start a thread for the get together this time next year!
