Food .... 2009

[stongwrcs]

I'm always a gamer! Ruffles, if it must be!  Just have to start imbibing a little earlier than normal to get that Crackcorn Boy attitude....you know...Jimmy..."Jimmy Crackcorn I don't care!"
Might have to add another cooler or two this year, since we look like we are adding the PJ Pastries and the Brew Tasting appitizers! That's good though, cooking will keep me off the streets...chained to the Jailhouse, were us boys belong!
Ruffles?....Hummmmmm?
 

[landshark]

No ruffels??? I was really looking forward to those... I supposed I'm used to luxury, my home apron is blue with black spots and plenty of ruffles, it looks like a spanish flamenco dress...
I think we should implement the ruffles, but the men should wear them, and we should get one's saying "professional chef at work - do not contradict" or something along thoses lines... 

I could think of a thousand jokes right here,,,, but I'm not touchin' it!!!
For you LaLa ruffles..... I will PM you soon, I am just finishing my taxes to hand over !!!

 Ya hhhhooo can we get a wild with self abandon YAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cowgirl.

YIPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I'm done..... time to play.....!!
Practice, pratice, pratice!!I'm ready to pack that car(aprons, squirt gun, cool pj's to bake in and some cool jams to bake buy  , flyrod, sunscreen, lawnchair,,,hubby,,,, tequilla  
 
f I close my eyes I can feel the sun on my shoulders and my dirty feet... and the sounds of fest drifting in the air.... I think I smell flank steak man I need a vacation

Okay! Okay! Do we have a morning and time to lock this in for prefest? Mayor Tom, probably needs to be Tues. or Wed. morning, since the Pastry Girl doesn't arrive until Monday afternoon. How many are in for this and how many should we expect to feed? If this goes on the calander, we might have a bunch, expand the menu, maybe have Deb do the killer Bloody Mary's that morning and get some help from the other camps to participate for a massive feed ( for those that can make it up early) at Wander-In/Jailhouse. Buffet style? PJ's or costume required to get served? 
Not going over the Mayor's head without his input. Mayor, is the Free Box really gone? Event to replace?
PJ Pastries...PJ Breakfast...Worldly Festivarian Breakfast...or just Feeesssstiiivvvallll Breakfast.
I'm game and think a good addition. Think alot will participate....even with a bit of an overhang.
Feed Back?

[TellurideTom]

Apron Strings - PJ Pastries!
How about Tuesday morning about 10AM?
We don't want to roust Town Park too early.

There's not much going on Tuesday morning....

Or, we could move up the Bloody Mary's on Wednesday to 10 and combine the two...
Let me know what you prefer.

Got my mojo workin,,, got my mojo workin,,,,, Tuesday 10AM is Mojo/pj bakin/ time ??? Coooooooool
I think we will have arrived by then... still alittle sketchy .  Ruffles Tom?
I just want Lala to enlighten me , in the ways of french Pastry Lets make sure she has everything she needs for success..SSSOOOoooo ya think Adam can play Got My Mojo Workin' on the Banjo

[stongwrcs]

Yo! Tuesday is good by me! :thumbsupGot to have some feed back from Deb and the Bloody Mary's. Could leave the Bloody Mary morning alone, that is Deb's thing, and they are damn good, and do cheap champange and OJ for this one?
We will probably have a punch drunk, lagged pastry chef, but I'll bet she can rock and roll. This sounds like the start to another great TP tradition.
Lala, are you up for this?
Let's move on with the Mayor's vote to Tues. 10 am for the new PJ Pasrty Brunch?
New names are welcome and all that want to bring a breakfast dish, fruit or cheap champange are welcome and appreciated. Forward we must go to make it better every year!
Guess you can get some stuff from the Free Box to dress up, since that was an April Fool! PJ's will be the appropriate attire of choice!
 


 Listening to: Still "The Band" on Soundstage from 1978...this is to much...gotta go!

[landshark]

  I will bring some of the bubbly and flour, sugar, etc. Some aprons for his/her. My mojo

[UselessJo]

We have the spices and some equipment but need to know exactly what of these you need. Don't want to bring what is not needed.

[lalagay]

OK, this is getting serious, so I better get it all down properly! 

I'll be arriving monday, so Tuesday 10 am should be fine, I might still be a bit jet lagged from my flight, but I'm sure I can work around it, as long as I have an official Telluride bluegrass wake up call 

SO what we'll need (or I would like in my ideal kitchen  ) equipment wise, UselessJo, is:
French rolling pin
several large/deep mixing bowls
small mixing bowls with pans that fit these for bain-marie style cooking
pastry brush
1/2 sheet pans
cooling racks
wire whips (easy Ron!)
rubber spatula
pastry bag w/tips
sifter
parchment
spring form pan (whatever size is available)
pastry cutters (different shapes & sizes)
dough scraper
Almond and Vanilla extract

Then.... What we'll need ingredient wise, Landshark, is:
Flour
Sugar (caster, golden, white, icing varieties)
Butter (of the unsalted type, industrial quantities  )
eggs (tons of those...)
milk (loads of it)
raising agent (cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda or other)
bakers yeast (fresh if at all possible)
good quality dark chocolate (as much as you can get!)
flaked almonds, powdered almonds, whole almonds
pine nuts
any other nuts you might fancy
dessicated coconut
cinnamon, mixed spice (cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, star anis)
candied peel (orange & lemon), candied ginger (if available)
unwaxed lemons (a dozen at least!!!)
cream (single, double, soured)
apples (golden delicious ideally)
strawberries
any fresh fruit you fancy really
cornflour
vanilla pods
basic - digestive biscuit style - biscuits
raisins/sultanas
dates, orange flower water....

I think that pretty much covers it, but I might have to add to that list...

Finally we'll need:
first class aprons
amazing pjs
medals to hand out for outstanding performance (this can be cooking or pj or picking or bacon related  ) 
someone to restrain Jailhouse Rob if he gets itchy about all these girls in his kitchen 
someone to restrain Ron if he tries to get his hands on the whips 
someone to snatch a photo of Hippie in his PJs
a massive table to hold all the amazing food we'll be turning out, out of reach during the necessary cooling period

and of course: the best picking party in TP to get our mojo's working and our feet stomping and the festitude going !!! 

Feel free to improve the list above with your suggestions, or let me know if some of it is downright impossible so that I can rethink my recipes...

Rob you are not the only one that will need to start imbibng early, the thought of you and Tom in ruffles, is a little, wel let's just say it brings those horrible memories of a certain someone, in a certain undergarment, all rushing back , oh man now I need a drink!

[TellurideTom]

I'm actually thinking Wednesday may be better since a lot of people will be busy making Hor'Dourves for the beer tasting at noon Tuesday.
They can have a bloody mary afterwords at 10:30 too.

  Are you serious,,, you might have to scale back a bit 

[UselessJo]

Are we sure that the 1/2 size sheet pans will fit into the oven @ TP? If you have the inside dimensions, I will double-check the pans I have to make sure they fit. 

[landshark]

  LaLagay you are a delight... however I think if you make just a few recepies we can cut that list in half..

We could also ask for help and spread the pastrie love around if you require your entire list..... . Maybe one person bring  all the dairy and another all the nuts and so on.

I would pick 3 of your favorite receips, triple them and you will know exactly what is needed for 9 dozen pastries.
Then your pastries could be cut in half or thirds to feed the masses. Think about it....
