HotBytes Potluck Dinner to Benefit KY Harvest - Who's Coming

Tim and I are on the tentative list. Have no idea what I will bring, can figure something out closer to then. Will be glad to help out with the plates, plasticware and napkins.

Madeline,

I updated the guest list to add you and Tim.

It's starting to look like a salad or side dish of some sort might be something that we might need...but you be the judge, it is after all a "pot luck" of sorts.

We might have to pull out of the potluck.....right now i dont think we will be able to attend.

Hope things change so that you and the family can attend.

Steve- I believe I RSVP'd and said I would bring an app. and a side dish.
Thanks for heading this up.

My oversight Gary. Sorry. I will update the list

I think I will also be able to make it! Yay!

I'd be happy to fill in the empty slots of anything we may need, just let me know. You know me, I'll probably also bring some kinda foodie novelty, or whatever grabs me at the time...

Well......I've settled on bringing my interpretation of Beef Bourguignon. I call it Beef Ernest Borgnine because I can't spell bourguignon without looking it up every time and I like Ernest Borgnine. Oddly enough, I have no other regular recipes in my rotation named after B list actors. Sad.

me too... My husband was sent home early every day this week. As i am sure you know, in his line of work, if the work/project is finishing up, they get sent home. Not much else that they can do about that....

Stephen- I've stolen your wonton sumac mistake a couple times now - it is always a treat.

You just gave me the idea for my novelty dish. The taco truck in my neighborhood is this place called 'Ma Patria.' Right next to Liqour World on Lyndon Ln. Total bodega. They have a more limited selection of sundries, but there is a proper kitchen in the back and they have display warming tables out front. They do chicharones, daily. I can get the skin, still warm (yum!) Like 3 bucks for 1/2 side, or so- 3' of warm and fresh pork rinds that you just break off, like rustic Italian bread.

I'm thinkin we break this in half and dust 1 with sumac sugar (thanks!) and the other part with some blend using my habanero powder in a blend (adobo?)

At the King Louis Dinner, Chef Hargrove and I traded utensils: he picked up my larding needle and I aquired his fine-mesh sieve (small.) I plan to use his utensil before we meet again at his speakeasy on Dec 6 (Victorian Christmas, go on brother!)

Hehe, I hope Patria is open on Sundays!

Sounds delicious, Stephen- I love My Patria.And I LOVE pig skin.

All,

This just in...

Chris from Selena's wanted to help raise a few extra dollars for KY Harvest and has offered to donate a $50 gift card for dinner at Selena's to be raffled off at the Hotbytes Pot Luck. Great idea Chris !!!...Thanks to you (and all of the staff at Selena's) for your thoughtfulness.

Yet to be confirmed but there may be a similar "donation" coming in from another one of our independent gems...

Another special "Thank You" goes out to Will Crawford at Westport General Store. Will contacted me via PM and on behalf of himself and all the wonderful folks at Westport General Store has offered to provide a $50 gift certificate to be raffled at the pot luck. Thanks Will.

Thanks to Chris and Will for their generous donations and to Steve and Ed for making this happen! We are looking forward to the get together.
