Mission Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 Is Iron Jon coming? Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Mission Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Whatever is decided, the food should probably be purchased on the way in. Unless things have changed dramatically since I was there, the closest big grocery store is back in Mobile. BTW, I will only be on site on Saturday and was sort of planning to eat at a restaurant Saturday night, possibly off island. I mention this only because as the sole vegetarian, I would probably be a PITA diner for Saturday dinner. And my hotel comes with a "full Southern breakfast", so I will likely only be eating lunch with the crew. Just FYI. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
madPete Posted July 21, 2023 Author Posted July 21, 2023 Last I heard, lunches were going to be provided by fort. Trying to confirm. Aye... Plunder Awaits!
madPete Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 The Ragoo French Green beans and potatoes turned out excellent. The Beef Olives not so much, It's a too much work in camp for the result. so we're going with the Ragoo and sides of bacon for the Friday night dinner [along with greens and bread/butter]. [We'll call this Ragoo and Salt Pork😉] Saturday dinner is looking like a vegetable stew plus a side from the grill , but there is talk of a potluck, either way that should work. Aye... Plunder Awaits!

madPete Posted August 3, 2023 Author Posted August 3, 2023 Actually I'm thinkg lets get a sliced ham, and have leftovers for Saturday potluck. Still Ragoo and salt Pork! Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Stynky Tudor Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Talking about how hot it's going be, I was thinking we could make some of this.
madPete Posted August 15, 2023 Author Posted August 15, 2023 Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Mercury crew will be provided meals at minimal cost. Edit [Sorry - if this was not clear - This is Mercury crew participants - we have limited cooking resources as we are flying in...] Breakfasts: Stynky and volunteers are cooking breakfast Sat, Sun. Sounds pretty deluxe with waffles, eggs, bacon, etc.. Lunch: there will be coldcuts, fruit, salad, bread, cheese, greens etc available for lunches I'm told the fort provides lunch one day, but I have minimal information on that so we wil be prepared if it doesnt happen Dinners: madPete and volunteers will be cooking Friday Dinner "Ragoo and Salt Pork" (i.e. mashed potatoes ,ragoo'd French green beans and a ham) along with bread and greens Saturday Dinner is a potluck prior to the auction, bring something to pass - there is a separate thread on the potluck Sunday no formal Dinner as it is teardown. We can provide what is leftover for cold cuts, bread, fruit etc... Please consider a $10 donation for each prepared meal for breakfast and dinner (i.e. $30 total). We're hoping this covers lunch costs as well without additional $. Please let madPete know which meals you are interested in so we can plan numbers. Payable at the fort only. Aye... Plunder Awaits!

Mary Diamond Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 You are doing a great job planning and coordinating! Oooh, shiny!

michaelsbagley Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I'll likely join in for breakfast, specially if coffee is a part of the deal. Lunch[es] as well.... but suppers, there is where I might wander off to a restaurant etc. I'm not firmly decided on anything yet (except that I am attending), but thought I would pipe up to give the planners an idea on where my mind is. I know planning can be more difficult with undecided folks, but I thought I would at least try and be undecided and moderately communicative.
michaelsbagley Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 Uhm, don't know how I turned strike-through on my previous post, and could't figure out how to remove it in an edit... so appologies for that. Hopefully it can still be read

I don't know what you did either. 🤷♂️ As solid as this message board software has become, odd things pop up now and then. And why it wouldn't undo with the strike-through icon selected/unselected is beyond me.

Fayma Callahan Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 Fort Taylor Pyrates will be bringing table snacks for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. These will include: Summer Sausage, Salami, various cheeses, Apples, Oranges, Bananas, various dried fruits- raisins, dates, cranberries, various nuts- pecans, walnuts, almonds, fresh baguette bread and various crackers. We are also making various "Queen's cakes" in individual sizes for display and for consumption by reenactors during the day, and Pralines- Pecan, Almond and Hazelnut for a quick sugar pickup. These snacks will be for any reenactor that wants them, but not for public consumption. We will also have a refreshing orange spice tea with lots of antioxidants to aid in preventing heat related illness. It will be available at DB Couper's fly. I am bringing the gallon coffee pot and coffee, so if Mercury needs to use it, they may.... For Michael Bagley and Stynky...I have LOTS of coffee...hehehehe....I may even share....maybe.... 🤭 If anyone wants something else, please chime in, the groceries aren't bought just yet, and we can make adjustments. http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesacallahan100
