The path to too much food
The Weekenders Mikotti have generously offered to captain our Friday and Saturday meals. Salmon and pesto salad before the play on Friday under Chef Mary Jo, and Mike's smoking extravaganza cookout on Saturday. Bringing up some desserts and snacking materials would be in order. (And rumor has it Deb Dicke may be providing for a special cheese course.)
Hither and Thither
The lodge is available to us from Friday afternoon till Sunday afternoon. Group travel options include (1) Heading up Thursday and finding a place nearby to stay, (2) Meet up in Glen Ellyn to caravan Friday morning, (3) Any other ideas?
Drinking and Playing
Best Cocktail Contest Beth Hage has come up with perhaps the greatest Weekend idea ever -- Best Cocktail Contest. The lodge has blenders and all kinds of equipment. Just bring up your creativity, mixers and booze. Winner receives the Kulm Kocktail Award. Game Night Saturday night will be our Retro Game Tournament -- including, of course, Twister. Every Weekender is kindly requested to provide for one game that will demonstrate our collective lack of agility, thinking and dignity.
