Heh, and here I was thinking that bringing MREs would be the strangest thing....

Ok, and unless you've been eating it since birth, there's a 99% chance that you'll hate it. Aussies live for the expressions of pain that accompany eating Vegemite for the first time (grown men can cry... )

Vegemite, now illegal in the States.

Snicker Doodles.

That's all I'm going to say.

ANYKIND of baked goods.

Nothing like buttering up all the people I think are awesome so they let me in their games.

Chocolate chip cookies are a must and haystacks (chow-mein noodle cookies) are a favorite as well.

Shinitenshi wrote:Chocolate chip cookies were a given and I've been wanting to try out making haystacks so now I got another guinea pig

As long as they aren't cyanide flavored, count me in.

How about oatmeal cookies.... my favorite

Sushi.

Shinitenshi wrote:Now ribs I can do! Maybe we should set up a grill outside and have a barbeque

People were actually suggesting that a few months back, and it actually would be a good idea.

Either Palladium staffers (who live nearby) could bring their grills, or someone could rent a big one.

Damnit... this post has made me hungry...

I had, min cresent wienies, chicken salad crossionts, swedish meatballsm chili cheese dip, BLT dip, veggies and dip, hummus, ham, ham roll-ups, pasta salad, pineapple upside down cupcakes a few other things and over 120 jello shots. We've been having a great time, wish you guys could be here.

So do I, I'm just trolling the boards tonight.

I think asking us what we want to eat at the Open House is just plain trouble...maybe we should set up some kind of fund to help finance this colossal task.

Oh yeah, brownies.

It's not quite that bad... while that was certainly what the media was telling us over the weekend, it's apparently been a little over-exagerated.

While Vegemite does contain folate, an ingredient used only in breads and cereals in the US, it apparently doesn't violate the importation laws.

I've done a lot of international travelling, and I'm bringing Vegemite... I don't think I'd feel right leaving it at home!

Just to add a bit of clarification (in case anyone thought he was joking), as of Oct. 23, Vegemite is now illegal in the US. Odd how this comes up here, when my wife was asking about it a couple nights ago.

i suggest something big that you can make before hand and just bring in the pot like chili, spagetti, chowder or soup.

before you set out to bring wine, you should check with Palladium to see if it (the wine) can be brought into the open house.

I'm sure there will be a fair number of people under the legal drinking age at the open house. Its probably not a good idea for anyone to bring any kind of alcoholic beverages. Lets look out for Palladium's best interests

I like my morning coffee?

I'm trying to figure out the logistic s of bringing a french press and a grinder because I am a coffee snob, I would prefere lower fat options in the way of food, I don't last long on the usual gamer fare of fried this and that.

I believe there is a request for some brownies, but I'll let Ninja Bunny tell you all about that...

Maybe I should have a demonstration of my 'imitiation' meals. Good meals that cost less the $5 that do an excellent job of imitiating meals that take 20 minutes and usually $10-$15 to make.

There's also my patented 'Beef-Rice Boritos'

OK few questions bout food and acomodations, anyone who works at the warehouse or has been to the last open house can answer.

#1 is there access to the following: A stove top, a microwave, a power outlet, a sink, a sink with a garbage disposal, a refridgerator.

#2 what kind of food is provided, and what kind of food is easy to access (like is there a pizza place down the street or a mini-mart etc.).

No for #1. Except for the sink in the bathrooms

For #2 Palladium brought in a variety of snacks like chips, candy bars, pop, water, and Pizza was delivered and people could buy it by the slice as I recall. I didn't get to eat much with all the activity so I'm sure someone else can elaborate on the food. As I recall prices were reasonable and I think just enough for PB to make their money back plus a few extra cents on the dollar. I don't recall any of the prices sorry.

I'm attempting to get the green light from the wife to go.
If so I'll bring whatever needs to be brought for a massive pot of chili!
anyone else in?

You're coming to game and hang out, not take over their office! You're that pain of an uncle/cousin/friend that comes over uninvited and doesn't clean up when he leaves, aren't you?

I'd also like to point out that real chili doesn't have beans in it.

A gentleman @ the table I was GM'ing for, bought (from Palladium) 2 boxes of pizzas for the group. I think PB was selling slices for perhaps 2$ ea and cans (or was it bottles) of soda for 1$? I could be wrong.

I think I can provide funding for some of this stuff, though I pretty much suck at making things myself.

As of right now, put me in for $50 toward some sort of noshies.

Um. How much for about fifty of 'em?

Seriously.

Hmm... a Palladium tamale eating contest... now there's an idea.

Get a proper spice rack. We had one at the house I used to live in, making stuff for next to nothing (or actually nothing) is super easy as long as you have a spice rack. And for Ramen...just add meat or cheese...or both.

And my only request is Cheese-Its, but I'll probably bring my own box or two...

The hook there is that I have to be able to AFFORD a spice rack. I guess I didn't emphasize the "poor" part of the title enough.
