You people amaze me!! (and rock!) I apologize for the long post but there is a lot to say..
Busa Bash food consumption was amazing... Thursday night, we are worried about tons of left overs (little did we know)...
By Saturday evening we were pretty much out of food completely (as seen at the grills) We did miss one food donation and it makes me sad. That donation of food came from Solarback...
I hope no one beats me up for this but he brought (and we missed it) pork tenderloins that by no other terms are amazingly good!
Sunday during final clean up, we came across a cooler and opened it.. Inside was a substantial amount of pricey "Stuffed/marinated Pork Tenderloins" As we had no one to cook or eat, we did hand out what we could to the people that were still around.. (Solarback, I NEED YOUR PP addy as I have collected a some $$ with your name on it)
As an "informal accounting" of food used: *are approximate from what I could see and certainly do not include everything consumed)
60lbs of assorted Beef
30lbs of assorted Chicken
20lbs ? or more of braut burgers
40lbs of salads
20lbs of chicken wings
20lbs + of cheese
untold cases of water/softdrinks
I was amazed at the level donations and humbled by such generosity. A number of these came from people that did not even attend and did so for those that could.. We covered the vast majority of costs because of these donations...
I can say that costs were in excess of $1000 and because of this, we (meaning food suppliers) are going to try and organize better so that everyone can be heard and the menu is easier to manage..
I expect fall bash to be much more conservative on attendance (hey but who knows!)
I am going to put a page up that will allow people to voice what they liked/disliked/would like to see etc... (any input would be MOST APPRECIATED!)
Special thanks to MC Mustang for dealing with money... I know it is stressful
More thanks to the crew that built the kitchen area Gixerhp ,Mrs Gixerhp, DNGrumpy, MrsGrumpy as without their efforts to haul the stoves, tables, supplies and other goodies, we would all be eating at McD's..
Hooken brought bratburgers (I think this is a great tradition myself) and were fantastic!
So anyway, I know that there are a lot of others that were directly involved and I just wanted to touch on a few of the people that were so instrumental in this food fest..
We are in planning stages already for Fall Bash and will post up as soon as we figure out how to better serve the members that made this so fun and worthwhile!!
Stay tuned!!
