The Following Is The Actual Food Consumed
(The original planning menu was scrapped)
The planning continued to be confused through the month of April and
kept waffling between the opener May 9th and the following week,
starting either May 14th or 15th. Waffling
continued right up until grocery buying day. Needless to say - way to
much food was purchased and will necessitate menu planning changes.

Wednesday - May 14 th
The gang (all three of us) finally arrived around 2:30 P.M.
Nobody else was coming today. As I indicated, the closer the main event came,
the fewer fisherpeople were coming. The maximum number at any one time would
only be four fisherpersons.
The menu was pared way back but the groceries were not.
