Ok. As we head towards the start of this, I am going to reveal the plan I have for dinner Saturday afternoon/evening. part of this idea is to give those coming in from the run a hot meal and a cold beverage so they don't have to worry about making dinner.
My plan, as coordinated with Ross, is to bring our 10x10 festival tent with a table and jockey box to have 2 small kegs of Big Choice beer available on draft, as well as cook up some
Slumgullion and some salad. I will have paper plates, flatware/napkin packets and cups for the cerveza. It is a hearty comfort food type of meal, and should satisfy everyone. Just as an FYI--it will be a meat and gluten meal. If anyone has diet concerns, please plan on fixing yourself something else. While the salad will be avaiable to most with concerns, my guess is that the meat and/or gluten may not be ok for a few.
As you read up on slumgullion, it is known as "cheap meat stew", but do not let that dissuade anyone. It is being prepared using ground chuck from our local smokehouse, using a few types of spices like onion, garlic, oregano and rosemary so while it may be simple, it is also simply good.
The beer will be a choice of our GenX Mexican Lager, or our Stinkerbell Juicy IPA.
