Thanksgiving Dinner Overnight in a Log Cabin in the Mountains (NOW FULL)

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY DEPOSITS WITHOUT CHECKING WITH ME FOR SPACE. --------------------------------------------------------------- I've rented a third unit that has a loft and a living room. Please be advised that we may not have enough to feed everyone with every dish. We will try to have enough. That means before the last person some of the popular dishes may be gone. So the line will be formed in the order of this list because this list shows who paid first. We will have cooks serving so as to have some order in the mayhem!^^ We plan to have enough food to have leftovers for the next day. 4 large turkeys and a big ham should be enough don't you think? ^^ Also the choice for who stays in the smaller unit will be decided by the order of this list. So please make deposits ASAP. Thanks!^^ I need everyone to let me know where they want to sleep. Let me know if you want to sleep in the girls room or boys room or don't care. We will post list of names on each door so everyone knows who sleeps where so its not a chaos on that day. ^^ Those who have made deposits are: 1. Me 2. Daniel A 3. Mercedes G 4. Julia L 5.

Jennifer R ---------------------------------------------------------- THE CABIN The log cabin is in the woods not too far from Seoul. We will rent out three large units. Saxophone, Piano, and Violin units. Pension Photos Saxophone has 3 bedrooms and two living rooms and a fireplace. (80 Pyung) Piano unit has 2 bedrooms and one living room and also a fireplace. (25 Pyung) Violin Unit has a loft and a living room. Because we have way more females than males, both the Piano unit and Violin units will be all females only. Also I would like to designate one of the bedrooms in the Saxophone unit to be female room and two of them to be male rooms. The living room and loft in the Saxophone unit are areas for anyone. As for beds they are first sleep first taken after 10PM. Meaning whoever goes to sleep first gets to sleep on the bed. Two persons per bed. Rest will be sleeping on the floor. Blankets are provided and floor will be heated floor. Highlights are: 1. We will do the whole turkey dinner thing. 2. There is a nice deck to hangout outdoors. 3. Fireplace in the large room where we can burn wood all night. 4. Even a piano if someone knows how to play it. 5. Campfire outside for smores. We will have fresh air, good views, beers, good food, and good people to hangout with. What more can you ask for? ^^ THE TURKEY DINNER: We will get turkey and ham from the base. The big unit has a gas oven. Since we will be getting the turkey from the base we can use the oven to bake other stuff. Does anyone have baking dishes? We need your help. Anyone have a large glass bowl for the 7 layer salad? ^^ Also we need volunteers who will cook or just help to cook as an assistant. Please let me know and I will put your name on the cooking team list. Cooking is sometime as fun as eating it!^^ The dishes should be dishes you have cooked with success before. Unless you are absolutely sure, I would think cooking The menu might look something like this: 1. Turkey (4) * 2. Stuffing * 3. Ham (1) * 4. Mashed Potatoes * 5. Gravy * 6. Beans Almondine * 7. Pumpkin Pie * 8. Dinner Rolls * 9. Butternut Squah and Roasted Garlic Bisque 10. Candied Sweet Potatoes 11. Stuffed Mashrooms 12. Greenbean Casserole 13. 7 Layer Salad with Homemade Dressing 14. Homemade Cranberry Sauce 15. Mac and Cheese 16. Garlic/Wasabi Mashed Potatoes 17. Smores~ 18. Apple Crisp 19. Brie Filled Dill Biscuits (If we can find dill) And some Kimchi! ^^ * Items from the base. Beers will be 1500 won a can. Anything else? ^^ Lets plan on start eating at 5PM? BREAKFAST: I think it would be easy to do pancake breakfast. The tentative breakfast menu is going to be: 1. Pancakes with Maple Syrup 2. French Toast 3. Sausages/Hotdog meat 4. Homemade hashbrowns? 5. Vegie Omlette, Ham-Cheese-Mushroom Omlette) It might be difficult to cook for everyone since so many and will wake up at different times. So you may have to cook for yourself especially if you wake up late if the ingredients are not all gone. LUNCH: We will eat whatever is left over with whoever is remaining at 1PM. EXERCISE: I am thinking with all this food we may want to do some excercise. There is a hike possible on Sunday after breakfast to go up to Su Jong Sa temple where you can have tea in the tea room over looking the han river in the distance. Its a 1 hour hike uphill. If you are interested in the hiking I need to know in advance. So please comment in the comment section below. Those who want to go for a hike should form a team. MISC: If anyone has musical instrument that would be very welcome. I will have speakers that work with any ipods so bring your favorite music. Also I have a couple of Scrabble boards and freezebees to throw. TO GET THERE: You can get to the cabin using the Jung Ang Line (light blue line). The station to get off is Yang Su station. http://www.smrt.co.kr/Train/Subwaymap/Eng/Subwaymap.jsp The ride times here is on the short side so add more time. From Seoul Station expect 1.5 hours to get to Yang Su Station. From Yangsu Station there is a bus which is very infrequent but goes right to the pension. Will have more info on this. Or you can take a taxi and it costs less than 10,000 won so if you can form a group that would work. You can go to the pension as early as 1PM. Owner and me and maybe someone else's car can pick you up. Call me to confirm when you arrive at the station. I can tell you at that time how many people we can pick up. Lets decide to have three pickup times: 2PM Team: Jennifer R Boae Mercedes G Julia L 3PM Team: 4PM Team: Jeremy W Elana L Brian D Valerie Saki You will know who came first so we will take whoever came earlier. The rest can form a group and take a cab. On Sunday we can all take the bus back to the train station. We should leave the pension on Sunday before something like 3PM. Will update this info. COST: The cost to join is 45,000 won per person and is limited to 45 people. This includes: 1. Lodging (sleeping on the heated Korean style floor mainly) 2. Thanksgiving Dinner and Breakfast next day COOKING TEAM: So far the cooking team will be: 1. Adrienne T (Butternut Squah and Roasted Garlic Bisque, Stuffed Mashrooms, Greenbean Casserole) 2. Jamaica C (garlic/wasabi mashed potatoes, roasted corn casserole, brie stuffed dill biscuits, gravy, veggie omlette, ham-cheese-mushroom omlette) 3. Ansley (mac and cheese, 7 layer salad) 5. Vivienne (apple cobbler) 6. Audrey (Candied Sweet Potatoes) I have a SUV which will make things a whole lot easier. 4 of the cooking team members can go to grocery shopping Saturday morning with me and then go to the base to pickup the cooked turkey and then head over to the pension by 2PM. Before arriving at the pension we may stop for lunch. Meet me at Yangjae Station by 8AM. Sign Up Process: 1. EVERYONE MUST be meetup member and must RSVP YES to be eligible to go. (CANNOT signup for someone else.) RSVP YES does not mean you have a spot on the bus. 2. Check to see if there is space to join if # of spots remaining is less than 10. 3. Deposit 45,000 won. If you over-deposited I will give you your money back on the bus. Only a deposit guarantees space. (to confirm your deposit, check for your name below) 4.
