Football Breakfasts- year 5

This morning was the start of another season of football breakfasts. This is the fifth year that we have served breakfast to the Putnam City North football team on the mornings they play in their home stadium. They arrive at the FLiC around 7:30 and they bring their appetites with them. This morning was incredible. Bob Smith, Trent Smith, Carole, Bambi Longstreth and I cooked 18 pounds of bacon, 15 dozen biscuits, 15 dozen eggs, 6 gallons of orange juice and 2 gallons of gravy. They ate it all. In years past when we cooked that much we always had a lot of leftovers, but not today. More players came than we have seen in previous years, and they ate like there was no tomorrow. I told the coaches to tell the players to keep coming. We'll cook more next week. If you would like to help with this, we will be cooking on Septermber 11 and 25, then October 9 and 23 and November 5. We will also cook for all playoff games. It really is kinda fun and the players are very polite and grateful. It has become a big tradition to the players; one they really look forward to. Let me or Trent know if you would like to help.
