harrry Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 If anyone coming to the pot luck on Sunday has a few spare newspapers, and can bring them along, I would be grateful. Incontinent budgies! I read mine on Kindle and I am not giving the budgies that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsu Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 They're bilingual - so no problem with Thai or English papers. Both serve equally well to get splattered on.

scorpio1945 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks to the Harsu clan for a perfect environment for our pot luck picnic. For a home setting, it would hard to equal. Great pizza and chocolate cake too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 So how was the attendance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpio1945 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 So how was the attendance? Small but that was anticipated since we had so many people out of country or out of town, the known reluctance of the out of towners to travel when there is a threat of weather and at least one illness. I thought it a perfect number since it is about quality vs quantity and I still could not manage to sample all the fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandahar Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yes, I agree. Perfect spot for such a get together. And as Harry says, CHOCOLATE CAKE!! also. A nice laid back afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsu Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Went out this morning and bought a slow cooker- something we've threatened to do after every Pot Luck where we've been treated to that slow cooked barbequed meat of yours, and other attendees' falling apart, succulent meat dishes. Used one a lot in the Uk, when we were all out at work, but you forget how it can transform an indifferent cut of meat. Memories of (surplus males)Goat curry, venison in red wine, whole (surplus cockerals)chicken curry, It was always a bit unfortunate to be born of the male gender on our smallholding unless you had some exceptional traits. (T. says this is why he survived.) Yes, I agree. Perfect spot for such a get together. And as Harry says, CHOCOLATE CAKE!! also. A nice laid back afternoon.

Garry Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 The food looks great and nothing wrong with KFC's finest gracing the table. One day I'll be there to meet everyone for a Pot Luck. Nice setting by the way, love the big yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpio1945 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 We are good to go for using that riverside park for the potluck. The manager is EXCITED that we want to use it and has offered chairs, tables etc if we need them. Not wanting to take advantage, my answer was that perhaps we may borrow a table or two but that is it. Refer to the map in the post directly above this one for the location. Nice salas and some shade trees right there. The dude says we cannot file paperwork to reserve the place but since nobody ever uses it, we will have the run of the place. There are two short steps to get into the salas for those who need to know these things. A ramp may come in handy for some if they bring one. Restrooms are there and open. We will be bringing a BBQ beef something or other. Doing a small test recipe this weekend to make sure it will be suitable. If it is, that is what we will bring for the potluck at the end of the month. Looks like we will try out the park that Woraphat and Kd found last month. Lets keep the time at 13;00. It is definitely central and should have a view. I have not been there yet but there seems to have several roads leading into the place. Will do a drive by and add details if necessary.

scorpio1945 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Well. Despite some nervousness , the PL weather angel held true . The rain was a non factor and in fact kept the temperature pleasant and it was just fine. Pretty much the core group (14?) this time and the first time no newbies, Great food as usual and great fellowship. Several voted to return next month to the same park. I give it a thumbs up for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give it a thumbs up for sure. Our vote too - certainly for the doubtful weather months. Can't beat sitting beside the Nam Kok watching it flow by. Nicely kept park and plenty of space to spread out, go for a walk etc. If someone remembers the boules next time, we could have a game too. Thanks again to the organisers and 'finders'.

kandahar Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 There will be some folks having a company "sports" day at the park tomorrow but there will plenty of room for all. They will be using different sports courts. For the petanque fans with the potluck group, there will probably be some Thai players there to enjoy the sport with. I believe we have several potluck first-timers lined up for tomorrow, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
