Getting oneself put into Landon's killfile has become a mark of honour.

Dang, guy, I hate to tell you, but according to the TOS of RFC and the
Cabal (TINC), you lose major points by a) announcing you're killfiling
someone, and b) lose double points when you reply to the KF'd person
through a back door mechanism such as this. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! The Cabal

No, no, you simply do not understand: announcing you're KF'ing someone
is a Usenet newbie move and you lose even *more* points. <sigh>

OB: Made a really fun Easter side dish that I swiped from FN. Put a
pound of the currently-gorgeous asparagus, trimmed, and spread them
out on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast
at 400°F for 20 mins. At the 10 min. mark, lay out a bunch of green
onions, root end removed, and drizzle with oil, salt and pepper, and
continue roasting. Cool until you're able to handle the vegetables.
Gather a bundle of asparagus and tie with a green onion. Serve at room
temperature.

Hi Julie, I've been off doing other things lately but were you asking what
it bring to a block party?

We host a street party annually here just as the kids finish the school
year. Big event actually and we arrange with the police to cone off our
road. There's a small fee (15$ last year) but it's just to cover paperwork
processing on their end. We commonly get as many as 400 people walking in
from the blocks around us, carting extra chairs and such. We keep the road
itself just to foot traffic (emergency vehicle access preserved at need) and
setup booths or games in yards. I'm one of the few without a huge shed or
trees blocking the backyard so the primary eating place is my back yard.
I'll be pretty much wall to wall tables but this year because we only have a
gate on one side (re-fenced last fall) we have to check with the police on
the occupancy codes. I believe unless we put the saved other gate back in,
we'll rate a max of 100 vs last time, 200. That's ok, new owners next door
plan to host the rest there. Neighbors all about bring their picnic tables
and such over to our place plus extra grills so this time we'll just spread
them between the 2 yards and possibly take down one fence panel for the
event (put it back up later).

Anyways, 'what to bring' varies but at ours, anything goes. We 'ask' that
folks also post the ingredients/recipe so that those of us who have to watch
for certain things can tell if it should be ok but it's understood that we
can't mandate it or that a person may not know that something has MSG or
whatever in there. Not everyone is as food savvy as you and I are. I put
my name on mine so the locals know when I say it's only got 'X' in it,
that's really what's in it. I'll even add things like 'suitable for (insert
low-sodium, diabetic, low-carb)' on mine. If a diabetic spikes on something
out of the ordinary, they will see on the list what's in there so be able to
avoid it.

Popular items at block parties, provided food safety is observed on a hot
day:

The obvious grilled meats with buns or flour tortilla wrappers
Any version of leafy salad (dressing on side in ice preferred)
Crockpots with heated beans of any version (I have 19 outlets on my back
porch and can accommodate 38 going at once)
reduced sodium 'salt' boiled peanuts plus regular salty ones (crockpots)
'fish-sticks' (whole cleaned grilled spiced fish on a stick)
Fresh breads (not required they be home baked)
deli meats and cheeses plus spreads on ice and head lettuce (sandwiches with
the breads)
Chopped fresh fruit on ice
Watermelons
Chilled soups such as my carrot and 5 spice or Ghiselle's squash with nutmeg
sweet one
Steamed edamame (soybean) in shell
Veggie plates with dips on side
cupcakes and cookies
Jell-O cubes or cut to little squiggly snakes for the toddlers (sugar-free
fine, we usually have some of both)

Hehehe that's just a start on ideas. It's in my mind because we are
starting the preliminary organization today with folks due over for a
cookout in my backyard. The 7 primary perpetrators start arriving about
noon. The emails are flying mostly about what to bring today so we don't
have all salads or something like that. Dan dropped off a half bag of rye
flour as I'm out. I've got 2 loaves going, one for the cookout and one for
him to take home (his wife is the breadmaker and she's on Navy deployment
for another 2 months).

I roast asparagus and green onion but never thought of roasting and
serving them together, what a great idea.

Ok thanks! Attributes got kinda screwy after a bit and was hard to tell.
Same answer though to Jill.

Today's little cookout is shaping up nicely.

For those interested, we have 13 folks (some are kids) plus us 3. Don just
cleaned up the porch since he's been woodworking back there. We've got 2
picnic tables back there so we fit fine. Ghiselle has a 3.5 lb rotisserie
chicken going. Mary is defrosting some hot dogs and bringing her hot air
popcorn maker along with popcorn. Dan's bringing a case of beer. Don's
getting ice for the cooler. Sarah's making a salad bar with lettuce and
other things on the side (add your choices). Mike has his 2 kids making us
jello (grin) and Deanna is still riffling her kitchen as normal (she's a
great cook but often has trouble deciding what to bring). I've got butter
and other condiments as well as salad dressings at the ready plus
plates/silverware and such.

OOPS! As i typoed, The other Dan is arriving with his wife. They help
organize the picnic table delivery using the local teens to carry them
about. We added 2 chairs to the ends of a picnic table and have 3 more on
standby. He's bringing 3 large ruby grapefruit, peeled and ready to be
dipped in sugar or just eaten as is.

IMO, "Landon" is another "Steve B" (might even be one and the same) - and
I eventually *did* kf "Steve B"; Heh, even I have my limits. Their on-line
personae have been very similar: suddenly "appearing out of nowhere" and
behaving like they "owned" the group, the alleged plonking of various
long-term r.f.c. regulars (which he/she/it forgets was done publicly and
then replies to their posts), etc.

I've given "Landon" brownie points in advance for the next bid for
attention which IMNSHO, will be flouncing" out of r.f.c. in a Big Huff
(several times, of course).

That sounds yummy. I envy you the local asparagus; we should have it in
two weeks, but the weather's been strange, so who knows? More rain
today.

OB More Food: Breakfast at a great spot this morning; I had their wild
rice pancake. It was good enough but the blueberry-walnut pancake
(dinner plate size) is more to my liking.

Announcing who's in his killfile is the most profound act that
infantile ignoranus Landon has in his impotent empty life.

Heck no. I consider it to be his acknowledgment of out badges of honour.

Clueless AOL newbie Sheldon "Pussy" Katz blathered stupidly:

Julie? The one who asked for advice and recipes is *Jill*, not Julie -- then
Jill disclosed that she was just trying to get people talking, she had no
intention of actually trying any of the recommendations.

Try to keep up with the conversation, moron.

I have no problem with Jill's tactic in this thread; I've posted plenty of
hypothetical "What would you make?" threads. If she *were* going to the
block party, I'd recommend making country captain (a southern *******ized
kind of chicken curry, for those unfamiliar with the term).

I live in a retirement community and we have a pot luck supper every
other
month. We had one last night. We get tons of all kinds of good
food.
Someone does bring baked beans which are sooo good. I usually bring
a
big pot of Chinese fried rice. And the whole thing goes.
It's always a fun evening and we meet out neighbors.

Baked beans and fried rice at a retirement pot-luck? Wow. It must be
like the fourth of July there once a month.

It was probably because most churches attract children to "communion" and
you can't legally give kids a sip of alcohol.

That sounds really good! You know, now that I think about it I can find a
proscuitto/mozzarelle rolled together that makes an knock-out appetizer.
Served with some table-water crackers, that could do the trick. If I go to
this thing I really don't want to fuss a lot over food.

My wife was raised in the United Church and the attitude was that the
alcohol in communion wine could put an alcoholic back on the path of
self destruction. They saw little value in the concept of moderation,
that alcoholism is too serious a problem for some people to take a chance.
