I'll admit it, I'm obsessed with eating opportunities.
Saturday was the latest in ongoing fundraiser dinners (called supper, here) I've come to enjoy. This was the Boyscouts hosting a roast beef supper served family style and hence, all-you-can-eat for 8 bucks. Service is always good and well organized. You pay upstairs in the Lions meeting hall, then sit and watch a general interest TV station until there are enough eaters to make a full table of 8. It never takes long to be ushered to a waiting clean table.
The kitchen was full of Lions Club members who prepare the food with frivolity. They must have thought I was a reporter taking these pictures because I had on a Santa hat and just nosed my way in like I owned the place. Everybody was accommodating and let me take pictures as I pleased.
Dishes of food arrived at the table in swift succession and were passed with efficient cooperation of my new dining buddies. We had roast beef, mashed potatoes & gravy, baked carrots with a little brown sugar and cinnamon, cole slaw, rolls & butter. What a spread.
Pies, some home made by scout mothers, others store-bought, were served when everybody at the table had finished their eating orgy. We had our pick of any flavor on offer.
I plan to branch out to been feeds, and mac & cheese suppers.
Mmm, tasty! This time of year, I get absolutely ravenous and can eat almost continuously throught the day and into the night. Your roast beef supper looks wonderful - I'll skip the mac & cheese, but bring on the pies!
