Post #34 - August 16th, 2018, 2:14 amThis is a one burner hot plate, well off the surface, and I would only be heating a pan of water in which I would have containters to be kept warm. At home I would put this on a table or even a plastic tablecloth without a second thought.--Carey aka underdog

Love to sit in Smoker Row so it will be an entree off of charcoal.
My Bride will have some type of side.
Thanks for your work!

I have no worries about the weather. I have begun to suspect that someone/thing may have a lien on Cathy2's soul, given how beautiful EVERY SINGLE LTH PICNIC's weather has been.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #52 - September 10th, 2018, 4:42 pmEven if it does rain, there is a shelter.
I would much rather spend a rainy day in a shelter eating awesome food rather than sitting at home.

Post #58 - September 13th, 2018, 4:39 pmIt’s possible I might be able to drag the 14yo along. It will depend on whether he is in a mood that I feel comfortable inflicting upon people I consider friends. Anyone who has lived with a hormonal teen knows exactly the dilemma I face. He’s pretty much aged out of the piñata party, and the resultant sulk might mean he gets deposited with his older brother for the afternoon.“Assuredly it is a great accomplishment to be a novelist, but it is no mediocre glory to be a cook.” -- Alexandre Dumas
