OMGosh, those are the best. You guys are rocking this thread. I feel like a moron, I've contributed nothing but my mad skillz as an Alber Camoo Dancer.

[Prevailing Wind]

"Hello, Hello" by Sopwith Camel. ("Would you like some of my tangerine? You know I'd never treat you mean...")

[DXD526]

One of my favorite Cars songs, "Hello Again". Always thought it was underrated.

[Writing Wrongs]

"Hello, Stranger." by Barbara Lewis.

My tambourine skills are between Davy Jones and Tracy from The Partridge Family level. Can I join?

[Driad]

If anyone needs more time, we could play an hour of Jeopardy think music.

[Mindthinkr]

Tonight is grilled kabobs. Chicken, beef, shrimp and portobello mushrooms with the usual onions, mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes etc. There will be saffron rice and grilled asparagus. If you don’t like the veggies I brought feel free to stop at the store on your way to practice and get whatever you’d like. I’ll make some meringues on which we can load marinated berries and whipped cream for desert. It’s 97* so I’ll bring some wine...a chilled rosé would probably match most of these foods but feel free to bring others or an ice cold beer.

I'm sure there's a bunch. I'll toss in Lionel Richie "Hello" and The Doors "Hello, I Love You"

I'll add in The Beatles' "Hello, Goodbye"

[Mindthinkr]

Shout out to @Good Queen Jane as the percussion member of our orchestra. The Triangle was an answer tonight and that’s part of your section. 

[JeezumCrow]

Is there room for a xylophone in the band? I’ll start working on “Hello!” from The Book of Mormon. :) 

I’ll also bring Girl Scout cookies for the snack table!

And my best instrument too!

And welcome, @JeezumCrow, to the percussion section. The xylophone and its ilk were the instruments I could never master.

[Mindthinkr]

How about just an ice cream sundae bar for tonight? 

P.S. When is the first concert?

Added a thought.

[Prevailing Wind]

And some manicotti.

[Toothbrush]

Hello It's Me by Todd Rundgren, Hello Dolly by Louis Armstrong

I am in a cooking mood - anyone up for jambalaya? I usually make it with sausage & chicken, but can also make a batch of shrimp. And I'll throw in some bread pudding - bourbon & chocolate sauces on the side - and Abita beer. 

[opus]

I see we've released our first single

Here's what we sound like

I see the record company shortened our name. I guess that's okay since our band is gold, Jerry, gold I tell you. Our lead singer sounds pretty good, too, and the video contains Jeopardy clues/answers! Great find Opus.

Hopefully, most of us will be able to find it on Mindthinkr's buffet table. We might need a photo to guide us to it.

Welcome to our tambourine and xylophone players!

Mindthinkr, your food skillz are MAD! Your menu tops my lunch of Fritos straight from the bag.

[Browncoat]

Mmmm, Fritos.

For desert I’ll do two cakes. 

 

 

Since this thread is somewhat related to Jeopardy and our attendant nitpickyness, it's always helpful to remember that desserts is stressed spelled backwards.

Edited June 22, 2018 by Brookside

[Brookside]

Anyone like Walkers Crisps (salt and vinegar) and Hula Hoops (plain)?  And (proper) Cadbury's Dairy Milk?  I have some I could spare from my cache.

[Browncoat]

I like Walker’s crisps, but I prefer Galaxy chocolate to Cadbury’s.

Sorry about that, though I do have to 'fess up to a half-finished bag of Minstrels.  If you promise not to tell anyone, I'll bring them for the two of us to share.

If you share your Minstrels with me, I will be your BFF!  I love those things (and I generally don't even like milk chocolate!).

Can't speak for Browncoat (or maybe I can?), but I have been known to do that.

Edited June 22, 2018 by Brookside

I talk to myself quite a lot — especially at work. Keeps me on task sometimes.

At least one of you Bs has to get a real avatar. There is enough confusion on this thread.

If you use Browncoat and I use Redcoat (which fits my heritage), maybe the fun would continue.  Or maybe not, though we could have the beginnings of a theme for a future orchestra gathering.

Do we get a weekend rehearsal luncheon Mindthinkr?

On the quick I can offer half of a ripe (not mushy) avocado stuffed with your choice of either chicken salad or shrimp salad. Chocolate mousse for dessert. I would suggest that we pair it with a Sauvignon Blanc. Would that suit you Saber?

Oh, yes. It's a wonderful and delicious upgrade from my breakfast of coffee, and Frosted Mini Wheats eaten directly from the box. I will have the energy to dance and play the piano at the same time now! Thanks, Mindthinkr!

[Mindthinkr]

Deviled eggs, pimento cheese bites, pulled pork sandwiches (eastern N.C. version) and cream puffs for dessert. (On the dessert I like to add Kaluha to whipped cream to fill them rather than a vanilla cream. I will also make some with a strawberry filling for those who don’t do alcohol...they’re like mini strawberry shortcakes). 

[saber5055]

I was at the grocery yesterday and saw a box of "charcuterie." Thanks to this thread, and Mindthinkr, I knew what it was. Yeay for me!

I'll start my main course with those cream puffs, Mindthinkr. Then dessert will be one of those North Carolina pulled pork sandwiches with a deviled egg on top.

If this keeps up, I won't be able to fit in my Alber Camoo dance outfit. Or I'll have to add more fringe.

Is that like having one of those wee skirts on your bathing suit? Because, y'know, with a wee skirt, nobody knows you're fat.

[Mindthinkr]

Tonight we are have sliders with all the fixings and potato salad. Dessert will be a good old fashioned apple pie with vanilla ice cream if you want it a la mode. 

For all of you that worry about weight gain...I will come up with a low calorie/carb menu for tomorrow night.

We need more marching band practice. Hauling that piano around the rehearsal area for a couple hours will help with my slider sides.

Don't worry about it, the outfits are very forgiving.  You'll see what I mean when we all meet up.

[Mindthinkr]

Crepes with a chicken, broccoli and cheese sauce or with grilled vegetables with a Dijon vinaigrette. Dessert will be ice cream sandwiches or a champagne sorbet. 

[PaulaO]

I'm hoping for grilled burgers or brats, my mom's potato salad (from the back of the Hellman's label), and corn on the cob.  Dessert can be Oreos.  Hey, I don't have gourmet tastes, but I like good food.

I did burgers last night and potato salad. I’ll check to see if there are any leftovers for you. Sorry I don’t have a Hellman’s label to see if our salads are similar. 

We all like good food!

I'm normally an Oreo purist (with the exceptions of lemon & hazelnut), but the peanut butter pie ones almost jumped into my buggy Monday. I will bring those and promise to share. I think.

[Mystery Author]

Good for you, Good Queen Jane (heh!)

I'm listed for singer, which is where I want to be, but I also play guitar,

[Mindthinkr]

Let’s try this menu today. Fried chicken, corn on the cob, Cole slaw and green beans. Dessert will be brownies. We still have some leftover ice cream so they can be done a la mode if desired. 

[Browncoat]

Sounds yummy!  Can we have at least one batch of the brownies without nuts, please?

Absolutely. I’m happy to entertain requests. I do this to please everyone and if y’all don’t step up and tell me what you do or don’t like then I’m winging it.

[Browncoat]

Thanks!  :)

[Mindthinkr]

Tonight is chicken and sausage gumbo served over rice. I’ll have Tabasco but if you prefer another hot sauce please bring it. I make it semi-spicey but with so many of us having different tastes you might need to amp up the level of heat in your individual bowl. A nice tangy lemon meringue pie for desert. 

[Prevailing Wind]

I'll skip the gumbo & chow down on the pie, please. I love lemon meringue pie.
