This is my second PTCBW and will be my first as a weenie.
I'm local a local boy and plan on bringing an ice chest and my popcorn pot. It sounds like we may have enough BBQs. I have a Weber if any body thinks we need another one.
Anything else we need that I might have at home?
I live in Bremerton, which is 15 miles due west of Seattle, across the Puget Sound. Bremerton is half way between and one hour away from PT and SeaTac. I have a small Nissan pickup, which is comfortable for me plus one. If someone needs a ride Friday Pre-soak evening I could pick them up at the Bremerton Ferry terminal (but the Seattle side is a hassle to get to from SeaTac), or the "Kitsap Airporter" has a shuttle service from SeaTac to Bremerton with hourly departures until 11:30 PM. I could pick them up at one of Kitsap Airporters' drop off points in Bremerton.
It's sounding like we've got enough Q heat going on at the Fort. Always in demand are good sharp knives, large pots, booze, heavy pans, booze, two hands and a heart for helping with various cooking tasks and other things that Weenies help with during the week.
If anyone feels like bringing some chiles (guajillo, ancho, hot new mexican, chipotles etc.) bring 'em on. They'll be good for rubs, beans etc. Sometimes they're available at Safeway in PT. Other times, not.
I'm bringing some smoked chipotle powder and some chili powder, all organic, of course. Actually, I'm bringing about half the spices and herbs from our kitchen, a big pot for the oatmeal that can double for pasta or whatever, several knives, some big chunks of mesquite charcoal I've been savin' (several kinds of woodchips, too) for slow smokin' and a variety of smaller pots and utensils. Oh, yeah, about 4 bottles of 2 buck Chuck (merlot), a couple sixes of Anchor Steam and 750 ml of Black Bush. Did I mention 5 guitars and a mando? The party starts at noon on Friday gentlemen. I take off up the 5 tomorrow morn. Skeebo! All for now. John C.
