Lol- I saw all those NA's marked and I thought that Lisa was really being generous, until it occurred to me that they meant 'not applicable'.

Yeah, I'm in one of those moods where I want to cook for 16 people several meals in a row. :)

I'm also sort of wondering about lunches. We may just want to bring sandwish fixings and pack a lunch for comsumption in the park or eat in the Valley.

Oh... We must plan on having a big ol' swanky picnic in Yosemite Valley one of the days!

Sandwich. It's spelled SANDWICH!

I think a picnic would be great! Maybe we can just split up basic food requirements- get a list going of stuff and then have people pick what they want to bring. Anything left over we can pool money for and do a store run when we get there. We'll also have to remember things like plastic baggies, foil, napkins, etc. I can hit a Costco up here before we leave and pick up non-perishables, but actual foodstuffs will have to wait until we get closer to Yosemite.

Oh, and for what it's worth- I come from a large family and am used to cooking for groups- 16 people will be a cakewalk compared to some of our holiday gatherings.

Keep in mind that the closest major grocery store is about an hour away from the cabin. There are a couple of market-type stores about 20 minutes away in Yosemite Valley, but they would be better to rely on for forgotten essentials rather than groceries, as their selection is limited (althoug there's more to be had than what Kings Canyon offers).

I don't know: I kinda liked sandwish

Stoat, I put us down for Dinner, 15th April for Titanic Pie.

YAAAAAY. We get to make it on the ACTUAL Anniversary again :snap:

Titanic Pie is a tradition in Stoat's household, whereby the sinking of the Titanic is comemmorated by a Beef & Red Wine pie - it's got mozzarella and tomato in it, and is always a hit whenever it's served, which is usually extra special occasions, if not on April 15 when we can.

for the 2002 trip, we managed to make it in Florida, but we missed out in 2007

Do you Believe(tm) that sandWishes can come true? :D

I called them Sambiches for years. The Earl was turning in his grave.
