Hi Everyone,
I never thought I would say this, but this year is the TENTH TFCTFN!

As is our tradition, my brother (used to be my assistant in the kitchen), Messy Matty (worked in many fine restaurants), Parksie (J&W) and I (CIA tranied) will handle the food for the event.

We provide the sternos, chafing dishes, aluminum hotel pans, etc, to warm everything up (I think I can get ahold of plastic silverware, as well).

What we like to see is donations of the following:
Soft Drinks
Plates/Napkins
Appetizers/Salads
Entrees (rolls)
Desserts

Generally, we put together a pot luck spread that I think most people think is pretty good.

Please remember all funds raised are what keep the lights on here all year long.

John, can you make this sticky?

Please let us know what you plan to bring, and I'll add your name to the list.

Thanks!
The Bomba Kitchen Crew

Bomba Rice...the medium grained Spanish rice traditionally used for Paellla. Was my boy Jose Andres at the helm of your show?

I'll bring fire alarm chicken wings. Lol

Gotta check the calendar.....so far I think it looks good.

Ricky, I'm in for my usual 2 cheese cakes. I brought 7 dozen rolls and 5 loaves of Italian bread last year (got a baker friend in town). I don't think they went. You want them again?

VFW Hall in Fairhaven MA. Post Island. Really easy to find. RT 18 off 195 to Fairhaven and it's the first or second right over the bridge.

oh, ok, i've been there. i thought is was changing?

I think the guys tried but didn't succeed.

I'm in for kick ass garden salad.

Paul,
That would be great (although 4-6 doz rolls would likely do the trick).
Thanks,
Rick

nitpicking......

Piemma can bring the rolls

I'll bring something Rick if I can get there
and if I bring Danny, I'll bring extra
he's gonna be 21 that day

AWESOME!!!

Captain Cupcake is in with the usual homemade cupcakes. Food is looking a little light so I can make up some american chop suey too.

Im coming and will be bringing something, not sure what, will chime in later in the week with it. Last year i brought paper towels. If y'all need aprons or towels i can bring them.

Rob,
Paper towels would be fine.

Thanks for the replies to everyone who has pledged a donation, but I must say that we are a long way off from our usual list.

We still need paper plates, and more entrees, desserts, and sides.

Thanks,
Rick

And.some.sort.of.food plus some. Cookiez or.brownies

I can bring the few leftover things from plugfest also

Apple cider pork tenderloins, its weird but wicked good, moms recipe. I hope the raffle table is as good as last year, that thing kicked ass.

The raffle table never matters to me. The only thing I ever won was a certificate from John saying that I have never won anything.:rotf2:

Okay,
Despite not having a room at the INN, I am
going to have to committ myself to bringing
my usual ham steaks with pineapple. For
those who have been holding your breathe
in anticipation of this announcement you can
now breath deeply.

Come on, there has to be more stuff than this??

Crock pot of Chili and paper towels will be comming with me..:buds:

Lasagna sound good?

Ok, we're starting to get a little better. I think if we can get the following:
Soda
Paper plates
Couple more apps and desserts

I think we will be where we need to be.

Thanks,
Los Bombas

I will be bringing a large entree. Maybe a roasted turkey cut up into large chunks , simmered in gravy. I call it Hot Turkey delite.

Ahhhh,
There are usually quite a few people. Just bring what your comfortable with bringing.
I'm sure they will go fast, no matter how many you bring!
Thanks,
Rick

I didn't really read through it all but now I see you need desserts. Its up to you Rick , I can bring Hot Turkey Delight or I can bring some dessert stuff. Let me know.

I say people will be hungry for mains...stay with the hot turkey!

BTW, has anybody booked a room yet?

This may be a dumb question, but, do people go fishinig on the TFCTFN?

Not so much, but with temps like they have been...who knows?

UHHHH,
That sucks Mike. I will miss you, too. Let me know if you need anything.
Rick

Rick,
Are there ovens available? Can I just layer my lasagna the day before, then cook it at TFCTFN?

I think there are Jack but we usually start eating right after everyone get there (7 or so) I don't think it'll get done in time. Ricky will know for sure.

Jack. Yes there are ovens available. You bring in the goods, and we'll warm them up.

Mikey, I think he wants to COOK the lasagna. Might take an hour or more. No?

Yeah,
Kevin, you should cook at home, then bring it to us to reheat.
Thanks,
Rick

I'll plan to bring a calzone or two.

Hi Rick - I said I would bring some american chop suey too but I will change that to a lasagna because it looks like there is only one coming and it usually goes fast. Thanks :uhuh:

Sounds good. I'll come a little early so it can get in the oven to warm.

I had promised a big garden salad, but business is taking me to the west coast, sorry I'm going to miss out.

Boss, I was bringing your depth finder, will hook up in the spring for some fishing and pass it to you.

OK - have fun out west - thanks!

John

If I make it what's left that you need the most? I'm doing the CT Leadfest in Ansonia. Got a weekend pass from the boss but I'm not sure I'm up for the drive from there to Fairhaven. Would definitely need to grab a room for the night if I did.

Hi Rick
I can bring a seafood chowder, but can I reserve a burner to re-heat it on? Also, what time would you want it there to be ready at 7pm, given the limited space on the stove?
Charlie

Ham and cheese/sausage and cheese crescent roll pinwheels for appetizers. Sodas

Baah, Necker, we'll make sure that there's room...someway somehow. Burners are very hard to come by. I can always get inventive with heat and the steam tables (I bring like 20 chafing dishes).

I'd say 6:15...them VFW guys get pissed when we show up before 6.

I'd say bring some desserts.

And, if anybody is thinking of bringing anything else, garden salad would round things out nicely.

Just found out that my truck is now the permanent Bomba family mobile, so I can't bring it to the party (the jeep won't fit too much stuff).

If anybody could bring a cooler for the drinks that would be great.
Thanks,
Rick

It's looking like I have to work tonight/into tomorrow. Not sure when I'll be getting in, may be very late on Saturday. There may be one less lasagna on the table, thankfully jredfly is bringing another.

I hope you can still make it but I will have a lasagna there - no worries. :)

Kevin's like this cook that used to work for me named Chauncy. He'd call to say he'd be late, and then show up early. I'm pretty sure he'll be there.

I am feelin pretty perked out, so gunna give it a go.
What can I bring on short notice that we r short?????
Let me know.
( I don't cook)

I'm bringing birthday cake
