Midwinter Feast (Saturday, February 3)

[ellyssian]

Come by in the afternoon for a few rounds of Kubb, followed by a meal of Deeper n' Ever, and an evening of full moon gazing!

At least one type of gourmet hot chocolate will be available to help warm up (unless current weather conditions continue, and then we might need ice tea and lemonade!)

Bring your binoculars or telescopes for the evening portion of the event.

There will be two couches, one cot, and some floor space available if emergency crash space is needed to avoid dark, snowy winter road-type-crashes - bring sleeping bags and pillows just to have on reserve.

Please let me know here or via e-mail if you'll be coming, and what your contribution to the feast will be!

Some Suggestions:

• beverages (Riesling wine goes nicely with Deeper n' Ever, and mulled wine or additional varieties of hot chocolate might help with any cold weather!)
• salads (pasta/mayo salads won't go, but tossed greens and a non-mayo dressing would work nicely)
• appetizers (minimal/no cheese)
• desserts (I personally tend not to eat desserts, but I know there are a few chocolate fanatics out there...)

well you know i'll be there, with the monsters in tow. but what the heck is 'deeper n'ever'? i want to know this before i decide what to bring.

it'll most likely be a dessert that my 12 year old monster will prepare.

Deeper n' Ever is one of the house specialties.

You need to read the Redwall series to find out more.

Only it's a wee bit different from the traditional moledish.

It's really not that much of a secret - I think I've posted the recipe before! =)

(If not, I will!)

Wish I could make it

count me in

I'll be there.

I don't see what anyone else is bringing, so I guess I'll bring the riesling again. I'll try to pick up Black Tower (popular German export) if the wine outlet still has it.

Sounds good! kk1raven is bringing cake and 1jadedheart is bringing another form of dessert.
