Ranch doings

Christina, could you help me get a list together for my first order? Between the two of us, I know we can make sure that nothing vital gets left out.

Sure! You'll want to do a walk through of the pantry before you place your order, of course, because I'm sure there's still a lot of stuff there, but I'll put together a list of the essentials and get back to you in a bit!

Thanks! I'm going to have to do a blind order first, though, before I even get there: I'm not going to be there in time to place the order before the big staff dinner, so I've got to put this first order together so as to not stroll in to bare cupboards.

What are you going to do for staff dinner?

[mellanor]

Lynn indicated that it was going to essentially be the same as last summer. So turkey, chicken, (maybe) ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, corn, etc.

Okay, here is a tentative list. I'm sure you'll think of more stuff to add to this, and you may take some of this off as non-essential, but it should definitely get you started:

chicken breasts
ground beef
pork loin
bacon
lunch meat (turkey and ham)
hot dogs
hamburger patties
provolone cheese (sliced)
cheddar (sliced and shredded)
cream cheese (1 block)
vanilla yogurt
liquid eggs
eggs in shell
spring mix
roma tomatoes
romaine lettuce
baby carrots
cucumbers
squash and zucchini
button mushrooms
portobello mushrooms
sweet corn
baking potatoes
red onions
honeydew melons
cantaloupes
apples
bananas
bread
hamburger buns
hotdog buns
frozen biscuits
bagels
pasta (lasagne, spag, macaroni, etc)
cereal (cheerios, apple jax, corn flakes)
taco shells
flour tortillas
pancake mix
gravy mix (may still be a lot at ranch)
tomato sauce
canned green beans
canned black beans

Also, Kate can get you things like chips, salsa, nuts, etc.

Also, I would get Kate to pick up a turkey, a cooked ham, and the whole chickens instead of ordering them off the truck.

Awesome! Thanks. That was more than enough to get me thinking, so I added the rest and passed it on to Lynn.
