Loaves and Fishes had a record-breaking 91+ guests for their August dinner on a warm and sunny day. They had to set up extra tables both indoors and in the patio for the large number of guests.
On the menu: sesame noodle salad, beef stew, garlic fried rice with egg, water melon, and (gigantic) homemade M&M cookies. Quite a few of our guests really loved the food.
The first 60+ guests arrived relatively early during the dinner hours, and made the crew quite nervous that they would run out of food! They cooked an extra pot of rice in the PM for extra fried rice. Fortunately they did not have to resort to hamburgers while you wait...
A long-time guest showed up after 6PM, after everything was over. Su cooked up a special menu including chicken noodle soup, pad thai, beef burgers, mixed vegetables. The guest was very happy.
A very big thank you to everyone who did the shopping, prepping, cooking, serving and cleaning to make the dinner a huge success: Debbie, Marian, Ramya (dessert chef), Monserrat, Rob, Wil, Terence, Caryn, Finn, Li-Li, Hellen, Su, Marcia, Caverlee, Bill, Joe.
