Fitzgerald Fun "Get your groove on" What to bring!

The 18th will be here before we know it! I will list all of the food items and mention other things. Andrea has advised the kids to bring swim suits because we will have two 'slip and slides', we will also have the Pinata and the lake is still there for the fishermen,fisherwomen, fisherpeople! and the wide open spaces are still there, if you have an outdoor play item,that you can bring, do it! Tee ball stand and ball with plastic bat, portable basketball hoop,blankets to sit on, bring it on!! Robert Hall, Julie Heil and Brian will be celebrating their birthdays so there will be cake.

As to the food items needed for the Frogmore Stew and other possibilities:

10 lbs of red potatoes (new)
3 dozen ears of corn
4 lbs. of kielbasa
Shrimp ( one person will purchase all of the shrimp so it will be the same size)
Seafood seasoning (Ex. Old Bay Seasoning)
16 ounces of sour cream (for potatoes or shrimp or whatever)
Cocktail sauce
catsup
3 or 4 lbs. of butter (for potatoes, corn and shrimp) some to melt to dip shrimp if you want)
You can arrange to share some of these items with another family member, a couple of you bring potatoes, two or three bring kielbasa, two or three bring corn etc. You can call me or Andrea to let us know that you have the potatoes covered, corn etc.

Breads
Desserts
fruit
snacks ( chips,doritos etc.)
Dip
Side dishes
If you do not like shrimp you might want to bring another type of casserole.Pasta of some kind, Mac and cheese, whatever you like.

Jeanine has decided to bring FrogEye salad, in keeping with the theme and some other fruit also. An ice cold water melon might be a good thing to have on hand.

You are welcome to bring whatever you want and rest assured it will get eaten!

Any more suggestions or questions you have give one of us a call or post on FB. We'll need lots of paper towels or napkins to mop up with.

Ciao,ciao
