[Eric]

If you are definitely coming to the Meet & Greet (and it's heavily leaning towards April 14th - 15th), please sign up for an ingredient or 2 for the following meals. Just post in this thread and I'll update this post once a day so you don't have to scour the thread to figure who's bring what.

So if you are coming, pick something to bring. Also, if you have any suggestions for the missing meals, I'll add them to the list. Or we can just plan for Saturday night and Sunday morning.

This just in from Ricardo:
I have...
-pancake mix (couldn't find wheat free), syrup, bananas, walnuts. p-cakes are made to order so bring whatever else you want to add.
-beans, beans, and more refried beans (veg)
-limes
-liquor for sonia's mythais

I will get...
-pita for the hummus
-beer
-requests from base????

BYOBeer, BYOLiquor, etc...

[skinsk]

E, I'm bringing the Thai curry stuff, and the rest of the stuff for MyThais (a variation of MaiTais) and a few surprises. . . I'll reimburse for alcohol (light/dark rum and tequilla, lime. . .), but it's soooo much cheaper on base. Espresso fixins = coffee, milk. Also, as I don't have a car as of now, I figure I can buy veggies and juice closer to the site.

It just makes sense that people with cars, who know where to get these things and can get them cheaper, do so. Rather than have people bring tomatoes from Daegu and mushrooms from Incheon, these things can probably be bought locally and people can chip in. Likewise, many items on the list are much cheaper and easier to get on base. Extra money is so much easier to bring, and the most important thing is that people don't feel obligated-- bring yourself, first and foremost. We want to meet you! No one goes hungry (or sober, unless you want to) at these things.

Does anyone have a musical instrument? Mary, guitar?

80 tortillas :eek8: Last time I took a bag home and we had a big turnout!
I guess when we decide a place we can get a show of hands who's coming Fri night.

[Les]

I'll supply heaps of onions and green peppers. By the way, I'm coming. Stoked, in fact! (Where are we going?)

[Les]

I could also bring a guitar, though I havent exactly figured out how to play it (yet).

[Scott]

Hey,

I know I'm new but I'm about 95% sure I'll be there. I am SO tired of concrete. I won't commit to any food until I'm 100%, but I could be good for a pasta dish of some sort.

Les - bring your guitar and give me the names of a couple songs you want to learn. I'm no Clapton but I might be able to help a little.


Cheers.

[climbhigher14k]

The lady and I will bring sour cream, some black beans, and some colby jack cheese (2 pounds or so).

We are excited to hang out with everyone!

Kris

[ricardo]

uuuummmmm...Eric...Your missing an alcohol list! ;)

i'll bring walnuts, banana's, syrup, and pancake mix (tripled up this time). i know someone at the last M&G was allergic to something in the mix...if you let me know what that was i can look for other options.

commisary people; let's divy up liquor purchases when the date approaches.

:bigdrink:

[climbhigher14k]

This is the lady (I really need to get my own account on here)... Would it be possible to pre-order a couple pancakes minus walnuts, or is the pancake mix being premade?


OH.... something was said about limes.... WHERE CAN YOU GET LIMES???!!! We can't find them anywhere! (We don't currently have friends on base)

[ricardo]

absolutely CH14K (...sounds like a molecule). pancakes are made to order! with that in mind i'll try to bring some berries as another option.
our produce is pretty sketchy but if they look good i'll bring some limes too...not for the pancakes though...unless you're into that...

[Tugboat]

I am really hoping to be able to make it. There is some madness going on at work of late though. Once I get the go-ahead, I will check a few boxes on your list. Hope to see you guys there...

[Eric]

uuuummmmm...Eric...Your missing an alcohol list! ;)

commisary people; let's divy up liquor purchases when the date approaches.

:bigdrink:I was thinking BYOB but it really doesn't matter to me. I'll bring beer no matter what... :becky:

[skinsk]

:bigdrink: I'll bring beer no matter what...

Really Eric, you should let us bring you beer. . . even if they can't bring anything else, everyone should at least bring one beer for Eric. None of that plastic stuff either. . . go to E-mart or Home Plus and get him something exotic. . .:bigdrink:

[Eric]

None of that plastic stuff either. . . go to E-mart or Home Plus and get him something exotic. . .:bigdrink:Yes, everyone should bring me 1 beer only if they want to see my repeat performance of the January party... :doh: I don't think anyone wants to see that again, especially me!

[skinsk]

Noooo!! For Karen's sake. . . they should pack the beer in bubble wrap for you top take back! And they should give it to Karen for safe keeping.

I do feel we need to drink responsibly. . . with a mind to climbing the next day (and the next). . . but I encourage people to bring the beer/gifts as a token of appreciation. . .

Geesh. . . I guess it ain't called Korea on the rocks for nuthin'!

[avenue]

Put me down for "other side dishes"...my goal: hummus with a variety of dip-ables. It's been over 6 months sans hummus, and (come hell or high water) this streak has GOT to end!

[Fainthearted Wack]

Chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes sounds good to me!
I will contribute some food to add to the list when I know for sure that I'm going.

[Mandalynn]

I'll bring some chips and dips. I also have an espresso maker like Sonia's that I can bring. Can't wait to see ya'll in Busan!!

[Eric]

Can't wait to see ya'll in Busan!!Please see this: http://www.koreaontherocks.com/forums/t811-meet-amp-greet-spring-2007-location.html we need help finding a climbing area.

[yohja134]

bringing Thai curry stuff too (shall i bring green noodles to go with it?) few boxes of ramen, and crackers.
if anyone likes misoo karoo (korean style breakfast drink) i'll bring it. it could be made into some mean pancakes.

-deb

[skinsk]

At least everyone will be awake Sunday!

I have one stove I'll bring.

[UIN2IT]

WOW!! Deffinetly worth going....for teh food if nothing else!! haahha I will try my damndest to make it....but it may not be possible! We will see how it goes. That being the case I will not committ to bringing anything.....BUT if I do go I will be sure to bring some good stuff for those "SKinSK MaiTHais"!!!!!

;) ;) :cool8: :cool8: :cool8:

[dehaan]

put me in for salsa. two jugs should be good? couple liters each i think

[rosscanup]

I should be able to make it. I'll supply a bunch of veggie beans. Non-parishable and hard for me to screw up. How many cans do you think we'll need? 10?

[Eric]

I should be able to make it. I'll supply a bunch of veggie beans. Non-parishable and hard for me to screw up. How many cans do you think we'll need? 10?are those refried beans for the burritos? i think 10 would be good, i guess it depends on how many folks are going which depends on where we are going....

[shanja]

I'll be bringing a hampers worth of mixed bakery treats (savoury and sweet) from our Culinary Arts Department kitchens. Kyung Ah will also be bringing along her 유부초밥, and I might do a batch of the vegie-nut burgers again. Also I'll try and bring a collapsible table so we don't have to comandeer the bonnet of some Korean guys 4WD again.

[ricardo]

@#%^&$#%&Y$&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I found out that our new tech arrives saturday afternoon. I'll have to go home that night but I can leave the p-cake supplies with someone.

[Eric]

Dude, that totally sucks! can you come back on sunday?

[Fainthearted Wack]

Dude, that totally sucks! can you come back on sunday?
Yeah, that really sucks!!!

[skinsk]

Can someone in Seoul pick up some parafin?

Am I good for the light rum the dark rum the marg mix the tequilla and the limes? Is anyone covering milk? enough coffee for the lattes?

Eric, might you set up a poll for who's coming. Let people "commit" to
A: I'll be there Fri-Sun
B: I'll be there Sat-Sun
C: I'll be there Sat
D: I'll be there Sun
E: I'm <50% sure I'll be there
F: I'm >50% sure I'll be there

It'd be nice to get a head count. . .

And is there a way to maybe start afresh with the M&G now that some things are decided:confused8 . . there are over 100 posts so trying to find anything is difficult these days:frusty: !!

[garyyetter]

i will bring milk, beer, and apples

[garyyetter]

and a few bottles of red wine

[heavyd]

I have 6 cans of Kidney beans that I can bring for the Burritos. I know that it is not on the list, but I was thinking about picking up some gwakamolie this week to bring as well.
I there anything else that still needs to be picked up??

Is there a mart or something to pick up beer and what not around the camp site??

[avenue]

Ok all......

For any of you vetran residents, any ideas where I can find hummus? I didn't think it would be this difficult. Any success making hummus without a food processor?

Sonia, where might I find parafin? If I can find it, I'll bring some for you.

Guacamole would be great! I put you on the list for that and some kidney beans.

There are a few small stores near the campground. You should be able to get beers there. I'd consider buying them in the morning because they may close earlier than stores in the city.

[GARGOLA]

I Dont Really Know How The Arrangements For The Food Work Or How To Add Myself To The Menu List, But Stacey And I Can Bring Cheese. Approximately How Much Should We Bring? Also, If Plates Or Napkins Or Anything Like That Is Needed, We Can Bring Those Too. Just Let Us Know...

[ricardo]

It will be good to see you and Stacey again!!

the bean guy can't make it so I'll take over the refried category

[julie]

Hi, well it looks like I am coming, my husband and I are newbies, but we love rock climbing, hard for us to bring items, but we can bring cash and chip in towards food costs. So, if that is okay, that is our plan. :) looking forward to meeting everyone.

[Eric]

Glad to hear you guys are in. Maybe 2 blocks of cheese. Enough for about 20-30 people to have 2 burritos if that helps...

plates and napkins might not be such a bad idea.

hard for us to bring items, but we can bring cash and chip in towards food costs.Glad you and your husband are on board. About the food, if you want to bring a few onions and green peppers that would be really helpful otherwise no worries! :)

[avenue]

Ok, hummus is posing some logistical difficulties for me......sooooo, I think I'm going to plan to bring some fruit and other veggies. I'll join Gary in the cause for apples, and I'll haul in some PB too. I will also be bringing a jar of Nutella to compliment Jake's hamper-bakery.

Can we have a fire at the campsite? If so, put me down for some s'mores fixin's!

Now I'm hungry!

[ricardo]

...and I'll haul in some PB too...
I thought that read PBR and nearly jumped for joy. :Cry:

I'll look for hummus on base tonight

[Fainthearted Wack]

I thought that read PBR and nearly jumped for joy. :Cry:



WHat is PBR?

[Fainthearted Wack]

I will bring mushrooms and tomatoes (I will see if I can pick up some cilantro at Emart) and some choclate chips for pancakes, and my espresso maker.
Whoever is bringing coffee: is it fine ground for a stove top espresso maker?

[Mandalynn]

My friend has a portable stove. Would this be helpful?

I can mix up some hummus as well. So we'll bring hummus, some mexican dip and chips.

Amanda

[avenue]

Haha!! That's funny Rick--I'm a Milwaukee girl...we love us some PBR! (Pabst Blue Ribbon beer)

WHat is PBR?

[shanja]

Ahh yes PBR.... We were drinking that in Tibet on the Xixa exped in 2003. For some reason it was the only beer we could buy in Tingri then. But for the M&G I'll bring some Cass Red...it get you rocking nicely at 6.9%:eek8: There might also be a nice surprise travelling along in Toobonnie (our car) for all to 'share'...:wink:

[Eric]

Ahh yes PBR.... PBRmeASAP! :bigdrink:

[ElDubs]

I will gladly bring some banana bread (nut free) but I may throw in some chocolate chips if I am feeling sassy. Also- sign me up for juice for B-fast. Riding from Daegu and cooler space is limited- so I will gladly supply funds for anyone willing to make a run for needed ingredients and adult bevs closer to camp site.

Cheers.

[ricardo]

Glad you're coming Leslie!!!

I have...
-pancake mix (couldn't find wheat free), syrup, bananas, walnuts. p-cakes are made to order so bring whatever else you want to add.
-beans, beans, and more refried beans (veg)
-limes
-liquor for sonia's mythais


I will get...
-pita for the hummus
-beer
-requests from base????

I CANNOT bring...
-utensils to cook anything since I'm leaving Sat night. Can someone bring bowl, pan, and spatula for p-cakes and beans (obviously at different times)
-my p-cake services...anyone want to take over?

[Eric]

wow, that's a lot of stuff your bringing. So much so that I will just copy and paste this into the first post.

[skinsk]

I'll bring a spatula and wok-ish pan (for Thai night) that might work for pancakes. . . can't cook Sun AM. . . on latte duty and no one truely appreciates my camping specialty: scrambled pancakes.

[avenue]

Are we allowed to have campfires? I'd really like to bring s'mores (a dessert-y delish-y delight), but I'm not going to bring the schtuff if we will be sans wood fire.

[Chickenlegs]

For the people climbing at Halmae on Friday or who will be around for Friday dinner...

What are you guys doing for dinner? Are you cooking at Seonunsan or eating out somewhere?

Also, I can bring a large plastic mixing bowl for pancake batter if it is needed.

i'll probably be eating at our camp in seonunsan. picked up some pasta for friday night for myself. not sure what others are doing.

big bowls, pots and pans will be VERY helpful, especially for saturday night and sunday morning. also utensils like spatulas and big spoons very helpful too!

[ricardo]

There was mention of a Thai dinner Friday night. Is that still the case?

[avenue]

big bowls, pots and pans will be VERY helpful, especially for saturday night and sunday morning. also utensils like spatulas and big spoons very helpful too!

are we talking light weight camping-type cookware, or will the stuff in my kitchen work?

also....campfire or no campfire?!?!:becky: :confused8

[skinsk]

I still plan to make a Thai curry and supplement it with Thai intoxicants (such as MaiTai's Singha's Changs a bucket . . . ) my expenses won't permit more than that (if folks brought rice noodles, bean-sprouts, scallions, soy sauce, basil, peanuts, lime. . . I'd whip up a pad thai. . .) So how many for curry?

In the past we've always had fires. . . guess it depends what "they" tell us.
I plan to "play with fire". . . though I am low on fuel. . . I've found parafin near Insadong, but it's not much notice. I can bring an extra set of fire twirlers/poi if anyone is interested. . . anyone got drums?!

I'm bringing about 6 extra bowls, a corkscrew, mess kit plus large wok-like pan, can-opener, mitt, shaker, knives cutting board. I prefer my things (esp pans) not be used for meat. I have my old trusty camp stove, an extra 2 tin cups (one not suitable for hot drinks) I'll bring my espresso maker (I think that's 3 now!!) and milk frother.

[Fainthearted Wack]

Does anyone know if I can pick up tomatoes and mushrooms around Seonunsan or should I pick them up before?

[Fainthearted Wack]

Also, if you have any suggestions for the missing meals, I'll add them to the list. Or we can just plan for Saturday night and Sunday morning.


I think maybe we should plan something for lunch on Saturday or Sunday or both. I know a lot of people will be coming without stove/burner... unless there are restaurants around? Or someone can bring a bunch of ramyun and whenver someone gets hungry for lunch they can make themselves some. I dunno. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for lunch on both days.
We'll be arriving late on Friday night (early, very early Saturday morn.)

[skinsk]

no one has ever starved at a meet and greet. . .

[Chickenlegs]

We're bringing our JetBoil french press... so if you bring coffee (preferably coarse ground) we can make you a good, strong cup. Or, if you don't have coffee, bring a cup and come find us. :)

[Eric]

Does anyone know if I can pick up tomatoes and mushrooms around Seonunsan or should I pick them up before?
hit or miss. i'd say pick that up before you get to the park.

[Tleex]

For lunch and snacks, Brandon and I will bring peanut butter, bread, and nutella for tasty sandwich goodness. I have a package of Keebler oatmeal cookies, but I'm hoping to whip up a batch of home-made chocolate chip cookies as well.

Let me know if you're still in dire need of cooking utensils/last-minute supplies. 010-8691-3583.

[Fainthearted Wack]

I'm bring two spatulas and a bunch of mixing bowls of various sizes. Maybe a ladel? laddle? ladle? spelling?
