Annual Club Mens Meeting- Free Food!
Last night was our club's once-a-year induction of new members. There is a usually a little, humiliating task they have to do- all in good fun! I have gotten into a tradition of fixing free food for the guys after the meeting is over. Free means the club pays for the food, but my buddy and I will fix and serve it, with clean-up afterward. We anticipated about 100 people, and made 17 large pizzas, which should have been enough. 125 guys showed up, some only for the free food! We could only do 8 pizzas at a time in the clubs ovens, so we had to time everything like a space mission! We bought Papa Murphys take u bake cheese pizzas, then added our 4lbs. of sausage, 3lbs. of pepperoni, 5lbs. of sliced mushrooms, 4 chopped green peppers, and 4 chopped Vidalia onions. Came out great- and everyone was trying to figure out where we got such good pizzas! I wish I had a picture of those pizzas, all prepped to go into the ovens- it took up the entire 3' x 12' foot stainless table in the kitchen! As always, too much work for too little praise... Give people free food and there are always jerks who say stuff like this; "Is it all gone?" "Can I take some home?", "I don't like mushrooms", "My wifes here, can she have some?" Many of the older members came and thanked us- mainly because they had volunteered in the past- and knew how much work we had done...

I want that for breakfast...now! I'm hungry.. ;-)
So I gather this "humilating task" is a secret???
You did a nice thing by fixing all those pizzas. But I would come just for the food too if I knew you were preparing it!!!
Peace
Jeeeeeez that pizza sounds good the way you guys kicked it up! That was a nice thing to do Buff!
Some people have no manners and no common sense.
I can only imagine how could that freaking pizza was!!!!
And I would have offered to help.
I hate to say it, but I just can't stand giving out anything for free because free usually attracts the kind of people that I avoid.
How lucky they were to have you in the kitchen! And good idea about the Papa Murphy's pizzas.
That sounds yummy! Um.... is it all gone? :p
That was great of you to put it all together like that!
Some folk are just never satisfied are they? The pizzas sound great and I'm not a pizza fan. :)
odat- Naw, we just have them draw a crayon picture of their wife, which is posted in the club, until they come back in and take it down!
rog- I get more respect than the president of the club- I feed them!
bina- They raved about the pizza! And I would let you help anyday!
michelle- My wife and you agree on that- free, and people still bitch...
leighann- Gone? I got bitten twice just setting the food out...

claudia- I like white pizza too, but no one else I know does! You'll have to try my white chili someday...

I think you and Dog should go on Top Chef!!!

I prepare food sometimes at work here and we have about 80-100 employee's, and I hear the same shit at functions!
Have a good one brother!

White chili? Yum. (Vegetarian, right???!)
DogB- It biugs me, but I get over it quickly..
Beth- Oh enough people thanked us, it just seems the compliments get negated by some idiots that don't know a good thing when they get it!
G-man- People is people, wherever you go...
Mona- You might be our sister, kidnapped at birth and taken to India...
Claudia- Not vegetarian, sorry dear...
free dinner totally makes stuff ok.

TequilaM- You don't have to worry about leftovers...
Tanya- Because it was a men's meeting, dear- you can have them afterward!
