  • WinterGathering 2017 Food Thread.

    Each year the food is one of the most anticipated aspects of the gathering. While I won't try to determine which year had the best food, I have no doubt that we can continue the dining excellence in 2017.

    If this is your first gathering the poll and the discussion serve as a general guideline that give you an idea what other people are bringing. One thing to remember is that people are usually starving after their hikes and real, home-cooked food goes a lot farther than chips and Twinkies.

    Refrigeration: there are small bar fridges in each motel room and 2 or 3 non-commercial fridges in the motel kitchen. You might want to leave your food in a cooler with ice packs or if frozen, you can leave it to thaw in the motel kitchen.

    The kitchen is fairly big with plenty of electric outlets into which you can plug in a slow cooker or warmer. There are two big gas ovens and lots of stove-top space. Knives, pots and pans and anything else you might want abound. The food is laid out on the long kitchen table and people circulate around it, filling their plates. The desserts are usually laid out on a table in the dining room. We clear the decks in the dining room by moving most (but not all) of the tables out of the way.
