Monroe County INGO Meet & Eat: Location Ideas?

[oldschoolmuscle]

Its sounds like we have a place and a month decided. Now, we need those who are interested to speak up about week night versus weekend. Maybe some of you savy guys might want to set up a poll, it would be easier than reading all the responses. Just a thought.

Also: Why the brine & squirrels thing?

Strong salt water brings out the blood and reduces the "gaminess" of the meat. I like it most for cleaning the blood out of the meat. Helps a little with the tenderness as well. In general, older male squirrels are a little tough, younger male and almost all female are not bad at all.

When I think about it, roasting squirrel on a stick over a fire doesn't sound like it would taste great, but it does seem like fun.

I might be able to make it down to Bloomington for the dinner. Depends on how things go. It is a little far for me. I'll be there in Martinsville, if the night isn't taken.

I soak in a vinegar water mix. Same reasoning.

Meet amd Eat

I want to set up an afternoon picnic gathering for Ingo folks to meet and eat before the weather turns too cold. I have wanted to do this just as a chance to have fun and eat some good food, but also to talk over ideas like:

Monroe Co. "10/22 Hiking Club"

Monroe Co. Disaster Mutual Support Group

I want to get a place that a little bit off of the soccermom path. I could rent the picnic area at the Martinsville Conservation Club:

It would be a good spot with parking and all we need, the only down side is that it is 30 minutes north of Bloomington. Each of the surrounding state parks would be an option, but they are also outside of Bloomington by 30 minutes. Anyone know of a good place at Hoosier National Forest or some other accessible but slightly private place in Bloomington?

Thanks!

Let me know when and where.

 

[Stevenlong8]

Sure

Martinsville is good with me, I agree it wont be nice outside for much longer.
Being a noob id like to meet some of the folks here. Really dont care where just when, and what to bring.

I know I'm new, but I'll be bringing my 7' tall russian mail order wife. Please nobody laugh where she can hear you.

 

[techres]

I think we will split this up into two events. Tonight I will try and set a week night to have a dinner (Josh & I will coordinate) within the next couple of weeks and announce it ASAP. I also have sent a message to the conservation club and will schedule that as soon as I get word back from them. The first one will be on a weeknight, the second on a weekend.

I will keep this thread updated.

 

[bwframe]

Thanks techres. Keep me in the loop.

Ok, it is official.

Sorry to hold the second event the same weekend as the 1500, but it is getting cold fast out there and there are Appleseeds the weekends before and after the 1500. It is the best we can do for now.

Once the second date is finalized, I will post here again!

The picnic date was approved today. So both dates are now a go!
