July Gathering

The 9th Ragamuffin Cooking Club gathering is hereby announced!! Since our first Grill Fest was so successful, we decided that it would be great to have a sequel. But unlike most sequels, this one should be at least as fun as the first. :P

Our goal for the sequel is to have as many parts of the meal grilled as possible at the grill-fest - so this might take a little creativity and research! See links below for inspiration.

Theme: Grill Fest - part 2!

Date & Time: Saturday, July 8th, 6:00pm

Place: Chad & Karen's

We need signups for the following:

  • Grilled Main Dish - just like last time, everyone BYOM (bring your own meat)! However, instead of chicken, pork or steak, this time let's each bring a piece of fish. Salmon, tuna, halibut, shrimp - any of these would be good. Tilapia (whitefish) is a bit too thin and flaky to do well on the grill. We will email out marinade ideas so people can marinade their fish overnight ahead of time if they'd like.
  • Grilled side dish 1 - bring it ready-to-grill! -
  • Grilled side dish 2 - bring it ready-to-grill! -
  • Grilled dessert - bring it ready-to-grill! -
  • Wine / cocktails -
  • Non-alcoholic drinks (sodas, etc.) -
  • Cups (we should have enough plates and plasticware from the last time) -

Need ideas for this grill-mania? Check out the 10 grill menus on the food network (one is just seafood, and a few menus have grilled sides or desserts). Or check out grilled seafood options here. If you need grilled dessert ideas - look here! Of course the king of grills, Weber, has some ideas too. Go to Epicurious and do an advanced search for the dish you want, just specify "grill" as the prep method.

  • I can bring cups and a few 2 liters for drinks. I have a friend visiting that weekend so I'd like to opt out of any major food prep this time around. thx!

  • I will bring dessert--probably some peaches or other stone fruit, and maybe some kind of topping for it as well.

  • Heidi emailed me and said she can't make it this time. Hopefully we'll see her in August!

  • Oh, we'll also try to supply some ice cream to go with Phil & Rose's dessert fruit. Maybe homemade, unless we run out of time. :)
