Time to get serious!  I'll be running the planning for the Taco Feed again for the 3rd time in the last 4 years 4th time in the last 5 years (can't believe I messed that up initially - time flies).  As always, I might be organizing, but it is YOU that makes the taco feed happen by signing up to bring all the stuff that's needed and helping out with the cooking, cleaning, and so on.

I have been told that the ORC will provide the oil for the frying this year along with plates! 

NOTE: Latest intel is we will NOT be getting beer from Ninkasi this year.  They now require a 501c3 and although HOW (the recipient of our fundraising along with Neighbors for Kids) is a 501c3 we can't use their status as they don't allow booze at sponsored events.  Plus it sounds like we'd require a licensed server to dispense all beer even if we had 501c3 that we could get it under.  So, bottom line, this event is officially BYOB.  Unless one of the organizers tells me otherwise.

Sound off if you want to take one or more of the jobs listed below.  Many hands make light work.  If I don't get enough volunteers I'll start grabbing random people and putting them to work.   :police: 

As we were unable to fish last year due to ocean conditions several folks brought in frozen bottom fish fillets for the taco feed.  Please sound off if you have enough in your freezer (even if old and freezer burned) that you're prepared to bring if weather looks dodgy as we get close.


Cooking tasks:
Frying fish and tater tots/French fries (sumpNZ, SamM +2 1 more)
Tortilla cooking (INSAYN plus 2 1)
Filleting fish and cutting to taco size pieces (need 6 2)
Runners for food from fryer to serving trays (Little INSAYN plus SamM Jr (tentative))
Set Up (SamM plus 4 3+ people)

You might want to add several gallons of oil to your list of needed materials as well.  I don't see it listed.

Put me down for:
4 x boxes of Pride of the West.
Tortilla fry guy (on the UFO).
1 LP tank.

Put Little INSAYN down for:
Food runner (if needed).

Updated with Adam and craig's committments.

Adam - were you intending to bring all 6 rolls of paper towels requested?  OK if not, just don't want to assume one thing and get something different.

I am really glad that "Beer service to cooks and fish cutters"is identified.  It is always important to keep the cooks and fish cutters well lubed.
That said, I plan on doing my usual fish cutting job.

What does fish filtering entail? Sounds complicated?

Updated with the latest contributions.

If you don't know where to offer to help out, and especially if you are new to NWKA and the ORC, you can ingratiate yourself really well by offering to provide beer service to the cooks and fish cutters.  We had some teenagers that were great for bringing food (and being runners for just about anything else needed), but can't have them running beer.

Also, if you're not much of a drinker, I'd like to have someone willing to take the lead on clean-up.  A sober captain will steer that ship much better than I will by the end of the night.  That is especially true for the fry oil.  I don't want anyone getting burned, and most of us are pretty toasty by the time dinner is over.  I'm good at guilt tripping cajoling encouraging folks to help out, and certainly don't mind doing that, but if you are interested in helping here please sound off.
