T.P. Egg's Benedict Breakfast

[Kaptain Karlos]

Thought we were adding a mast feed breakfast to the Town Park early campers. I was going to go "easy and quick", but if it all needs to be organic, I'm okay with that and will make the menu adjustments. Just let me know where we all, Muck and WI, want to that this. Great idea, Let's get on the same sheet music and go forward. I know I'm not going to be running and tossing a tarp on Wednesday! Muck does way too much, so maybWander-In on the main path is the place for a buffet breakfast?
Carolyn, Tom, Hippie, Carlos, Stevie (no..scratch that one!), Ellen, Evil James...How do we want to make this happen, and like we have do this for TP for years?!
Should be fun, and I think a great addition to the prefest activities. I know, with all the excitement of the TBF, there are alot of folks that will love, and need. a good breakfast after Tuesday night!
Thoughts? Them's mine! 

Like I wrote in an earlier message... Camp Run-A-Muck always has coffee and water on for tea early in the morning.  We have a great spot to watch the tarp-run (and the festival) from.  Along with Telluride Tom, we set-up a lot of shade canopies and encourage festivarians to come over and enjoy the festival from this community oriented free-space.  We call it "The Town Hall" and everybody's welcome to come and enjoy it.  It's a great spot to hang-out and beat the afternoon heat or enjoy the last couple acts of the day.  Bring a chair and an icy-cool beverage and hang-out for a while!

I'd be more than happy to help-out with the eggs-benny breakfast.  Ingredients don't have to be organic, but a lot of us prefer it that way... but hey... it's a festival... you're playing with others now... you gotta lighten-up a bit... right?  Wander-In or Jail House makes the most sense for the benny-breakfast on wednesday (?) because of their central location in Town Park.  I'll come over, and I'll cook!  I'm bringing my bike, so store runs will be quick and easy, too... later dudes...

This works best for us as well since I thought I was serving Bloody's at the same time!!!

I'm sure we can get Gerry to brew some coffee to go with  as well.

I'm a Hollondaise makin' friggin' machine! How about adding a bit of roasted red pepper to that mix? Fresh Rosemary?

Oh man you Guys are really Killing me
So how Early are you guys wanting to do This ??
The Bus leaves for Orvis around 10 am
so we NEED a Clean up Crew!
I know I would Love a Good Hearty  Breakfest in stead of Subway in Ridge way
So 8 am ?...9 am ?
and this to take place after Tropicail Tuesday?
OMG
we are Freaking Nuts !!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Telluride Tom has Pastries, Eggs Benedict, and Bloody Marys scheduled for Wednesday morning.  Trust me... you'll need all this after Tuesday evening's Tropical Tuesday blow-out!  Getting our butts out of bed, firing-up the stoves, and getting the bacon frying will be challenging... but not impossible.  Maybe it'll be a good morning for a "Wake n' Bake"  ... or better yet... "Magic Mochas"  woo-hoo!  Looks like The Jailhouse Boys' camp is the best location for this party because of Wander-In's soaking and wedding vows plans.  Ron - leave the cleaning-up to Hope  .  It won't be that bad.  Plus, clean-up will be easy with the bathhouse wash-basin and water-tap just around the corner.

Consider pushing the bus departure to Orvis to 11:00am if possible.  That way you won't be rushed.

Wedding? Thought we just did one last year.
At any rate, Useless, if you want to do the Hollindaise from scratch, be my guest. Looking at feeding the masses, I was going to and some spices to Knorr. Not bad for a quick fix, but if you and Lala want to do the sauce and pastries, I'm a happy camper! I'm an early morning person, so getting the bacon and all going is not a problem. Just trying to figure out a smooth flow for the buffet and keeping thing warm. Also, how to poach alot of eggs quickly and keep them fresh and warm. I have a great chef at my facility and will get his imput on making this happen smoothly and professionally. Will pick up or borrow some chaffing dishes to keep things warm. Figure we should be able to start serving around 9:30 am.
Just hope, if we all go to this trouble, we will have a great turn out. If we can get the ones that break the fun barrier the night prior to arise, it will be good. The bacon woaffing should help a little. Know the old vets will not miss it. Especially if it is on the Mayor's schedule. How about a little asparagus to go with the benedicts? Presentation! Presentation! Sorry, but may have to go a "little" ungreen for this one, as far as, plates and utinsels...ideas!  Jailhouse is "Old and in the Way", but getting better at not leaving as much of a footprint. We're all on vacation, just want to make providing the activity for all in TP as easy as we can for us that put it on.
My thoughts.....got mine!...Give me yours! 
FFEEESSSSSTTTIIIVVVAAALLLL!

Everyone should provide (and clean) their own plate and utensils.
The cooks will have enough to worry about.
Let's keep it GREEN!

Thank you for the vote of confidence Kaptain Karlos. 

I would ask that Run A Muck please bring the hot water pot for tea that morning (I'm not a coffee gal) and I'll scramble my own eggs somewhere in that mix. You folks just cook, have fun and then get the hell out of the way for clean-up.

For those comin' 'round to eat, PLEASE bring your own gear. In years past I have washed your gear before you left the area. It's really not a problem and I think it's a good thing if you're going to hang for a while, that way we don't have a lot of dirty dishes drawing bugs into any particular camp.

For what it's worth, I really like the way this event has come together, well, the planning of the event at least. It's just the best when I can sign onto the forum and see newbies and the old guard are just plain and simple about community. You folks are The Best.

In my humble opinion, this thread is the essence of what I had hoped this forum to be for all of you/ the community.

sure, we use it to get the word out to you guys, get feedback, etc...but bringing newbies and veteran campers together BEFORE they have even met face to face to feed the collective masses is just plain freakin' awesome.

....just sayin'.

This forum is pretty great, if I hadn't used before I went in 2007, I am pretty sure I would not have fallen in love with the Festival the way I have.  The sense of community really makes the experience.

Wooooohooooo 

So this answers your question UselessJo, if the pastry baking is happening on the wednesday...
So now is when we have to start working on a pastry-strategy: realistically, we would have to do the prep on the tuesday and actually bake on the wednesday so that everything is nice and fresh for breakfast, so I'll pm Mikki (landshark) and see if that suits her, so then I can give you a definite answer as to when the ustensils will be needed...
Now I just have to narrow down the list of recipes ! 

And yes, I soooo agree with you BluegrassDustin, I have never set foot in Telluride and I haven't met any of you yet, but I can already feel the love    all the way over from London, so that's the power of bluegrass for you!

You sleep on Tuesday morning while I go fishin. We can prep pastry in the mid afternoon (2 ish).. Sound good? Eww it will be cocktail hour,

I'm still confused, I thought I was out of this loop. But yes , I would love to do this. Bring some(50 or 60 ) friends and some banjo Would like to see Hope in the mix as well.

Get yer list ready cowgirl we have some bacon(bakin') to do!!

And I found tye dye unionsuits on the web. Just do a unionsuit search and it is in the top 5 links.
Looking forward to seeing the boys in their Sunday best

What camp are you staying with LaLa? I want to make Jerry, Karlos, Hope and whomever else are the kitchen duty folks some aprons. I love PJ parties. Think I will get arrested wearing my pj's walking from my condo to TP??
