Food

 * Cornbread (Megs (talk) 18:24, 22 July 2018 (UTC))
 * Hummus and spreads
 * Burgers and things to grill Hannah Silverman (talk) 13:17, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Are you planning to get veggie burger (or similar)? If not, I will -- just don't want to be redundant. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 18:20, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes,@Rhododendrites I made a lot of veggieburgers from ground oats, walnuts, spinach and lentils. Also made about 20 bbq chicken thighs, and bought a couple dozen beef franks - I sure hope there are a lot of people.  If not I will leave some of it at home -  also got buns for all those items and one purple onion, one bottle of ketchup and mustard:--Hannah Silverman (talk) 00:28, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh my. I was at Whole Foods anyway and grabbed some Beyond Burgers, but that is inferior to the homemade sort. They won't go to waste here, though. :) can say better than I can whether this list reflects the actual turnout of the Wiknic. &mdash;  Rhododendrites  talk \\ 00:43, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Wow, you are being very generous! I think the crowd will not be that big, though, so you should maybe leave half of that at home.--Pharos (talk) 02:09, 29 July 2018 (UTC)::::* @Pharos Thank for the update.  I'll adjust the quantities. @Rhododendrites I love spice but did not put much into the veggie burgers. Just FYI.Hannah Silverman (talk) 12:13, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

The recipe requested for the Veggieburgers (thank you for asking, they were fun to make): warning, I do not measure ingredients. DONE Hannah Silverman (talk) 14:59, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Cook a small quart sized pot of 1/2 red and 1/2 green lentils, and finely chopped onions (I used a machine for the onions, almost liquefying them), and some generous amount of olive oil - let it cool.
 * use a mini-grind/chopper machine to make flour out of uncooked oats, then add other dry ingredients like chia seeds, I also added a little flax meal and used the mini-chopper again to pulverize walnuts (the amount of walnuts was fairly equal to the oats).
 * Mix everything together, leave in fridge for a few hours, make patties and bake for 1/2 hour or more.


 * Breadstuffs--8 wholewheat burger buns; 8 wholewheat hot dog buns -DrX (talk) 19:46, 23 July 2018 (UTC) I am bringing potato bread hot dog and burger buns:--Hannah Silverman (talk) 00:28, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
