Saturday After Thanksgiving Dive and Picnic @ Blue Heron Bridge

[Cave Diver]

If anyone wants to consolidate the new updates, I'll add them to the first post.

We can't bring fresh mashed potatoes or sweet potatoe pie as we will be in a hotel from Thanksgiving on and I don't suppose you want mash and gravy from KFC! However we can pick up some bread rolls or dinner rolls from Publix or somewhere, together with our 'something untraditional' and 'Tim Tams' if I get to Wold Market in time.

Otherwise we'll bring what we can and our sense of humour!!!!

Awesome clofty but just FYI, Publix will be closed on Thanksgiving day.

Steve, if you're going to be in PSL or wherever you go north of me to have Thanksgiving with your family, if you want to drop your turkey off with me on your way home, you won't have to leave so early to come back up north to the bridge. I can bring it with me early on Sat. along with my stuff.

well thanks I like that idea we talk , I just got an E-mail from Kay she might be joining us that day for a dive and turkey dinner

ctx120 + 1 > bringing the third turkey unless I misunderstood something in this thread

Hey Mermaid, thanks for the complaint ; ) (yes I know I said "complaint", LOL)

What can I bring?

Those sexy neoprene thongs you wore the first time we went diving together. Or, how about a sweet potato casserole? I don't think anybody mentioned that yet.l (Or wine poured inside an empty cherry soda plastic bottle.

There are concrete picnic tables at the pavilions so some seating is available - enough seating for 10-15 people (since scubajohn69 is bringing tables for the food to sit on). Is everyone comfortable with bringing their own beach chair?

Walter - Not everyone is diving. Non-diving spouses and others (KBeck flies out on Sunday) will still be top-side with the continued party for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. The oil can cool some during that time. When we are done diving we can transfer the cooled oil back to the containers.

 

[Walter]

That gives us a little more time for frying.

Update because C.M.G. is arriving with someone else. I will bring something else but want to wait until a couple of days out to see what is needed that can be purchased (you don't want me cooking for you, trust me!)
