Photos and Recipes from October 1st Dinner
Great attendence of 550 last night for our BBQ dinner at Calvary Lutheran Church in Rapid City, SD.
The menu was BBQ pulled pork or brisket, salad bar, southern style baked beans, apples and caramel dip, and carrot cake. Some of these recipes (or links to the recipes) will follow at the end of this post.
These guys like to come early and get the window seat.
The menu gets a thumbs up from all age groups tonight. We love seeing these happy faces on Wednesday nights.
Kitchen clean up is under control. Did you know that Calvary’s Kitchen received a 100% on a surprise health inspection this week?
The key to our success…we enjoy each other’s company and keep smiling!
Pork or beef?
…she chooses the pork!
Our hard working volunteers are a dedicated bunch. These 2 keep the drinks filled up, which isn’t an easy job. Each week we go through 500 half-pints of milk, 12 gallons or more of lemonade, 12 gallons of water, and 6 gallons of iced tea.
Just hanging out in the kitchen waiting for the dirty dishes to come rolling in.
