MEN’S BREAKFAST

TALL PINES RV PARK HAS A SOCIAL CALENDER EACH SUMMER. IN AUGUST IT INCLUDES A MEN’S BREAKFAST, WHERE THE MEN COOK AND SERVE BREAKFAST. IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I’VE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH FOOD SERVICE, BUT I DECIDED TO VOLUNTEER.

I SHOWED UP AT 6PM ON FRIDAY NIGHT TO HELP SET-UP AND GET MY ASSIGNMENT. TEN MEN SHOWED UP TO VOLUNTEER, AND I HELD BACK FOR AN ASSIGNMENT INSTEAD OF PUTTING UP MY HAND FOR ANY COOKING. I FIGURED I’D END UP DISHWASHING. MY CHORE WAS TO SERVE THE PANCAKES AS PEOPLE CAME THRU THE LINE.

32 PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR BREAKFAST AND 10 OF THEM WERE THE MEN VOLUNTEERS, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO SERVE 22 PEOPLE PANCAKES?

ALL 10 GUYS STAYED TO CLEAN UP AND OF COURSE THE WIVES COULDN’T STAND IT AND DID MOST OF THE WORK. I THOUGT SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE PICTURES UP ON FACEBOOK BY NOW THAT I COULD STEAL.

AND HERE THEY ARE , LATE:

NEXT UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS IS AN ITALIAN NIGHT WHERE THE PARK PROVIDES THE COOKED PASTA, THE SAUCES AND THE SIDE DISHES ARE POTLUCK.

THIS WILL BE MARY’S ITALIAN POTLUCK ENTRY. IT’S ONE OF THOSE FACEBOOK RECIPIES USING CRESENT ROLLS. IT’S STUFFED WITH PROVOLON CHEESE, SALAMI, HAM, AND PROSCIUTTO. HALF ALSO HAS ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND BANANA PEPPER RINGS AND A REALLY NICE SELECTION OF MUSTARDS FOR THOSE THAT USE IT.  THE PICTURE IS FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN MARY TESTED THE RECIPE AND TOOK IT TO A THURSDAY AFTERNOON COCKTAIL HOUR AT THE CLUB HOUSE.

IN SEPTEMBER WE HAVE AN 899 MILE GRAND CANYON SCOOTER TRIP PLANNED, SO AFTER THE MEN’S BREAKFAST WE LOADED UP THE SCOOTER AND DID 125 MILE LOOP OUT TO ST JOHNS AND SNOWFLAKE, AZ.

WE’VE GOT TO CONDITION OUR BUTTS TO DO 250 MILES A DAY. SUNBURN WAS THE LESSON OF THE DAY.
