Eighteen, that’s right, 18 residents of our deferred to Breaking Bread location were blessed with a second serving of chicken, a day after Gumbo’s meal delivery.

Meal for the day included three whole smoked chickens, potatoes, salad, and a bag of small french rolls (with butter of course). The leader of the house was pleased that he didn’t have to come up with a meal to feed the group that evening.

As has been said many a time prior, Breaking Bread is an easy and fulfilling 3rd-F opportunity not only for yourself, but for the whole familiy.

See the Q sheet to sign up.

On Friday, our fearless Breaking Bread Leader Oyster called an audible (or really Daily Planet needed an audible) because our typical location already had someone bringing dinner. But, it turns out they have another location nearby (Hull Street in Manchester) that houses Vets and can use our services.

OMAHA, OMAHA, OMAHA…

YHC and Splinter (tonight) confirmed the audible and off we go.

YHC and is 2.0 were on duty for Saturday night. Snare – still in need of hours to complete HS – and a friend of hers in a similar boat, set the menu. They cooked up some tasty Mac N Cheese and Brownies and chopped up a bountiful salad. YHC’s job was simple – grill 12 breasts of chicken and help deliver. That we did.

The different location is a house on the corner of Hull and 29th in Manchester. A nice spot with a little courtyard and parking in the back. We delivered the piping hot Mac N Cheese and the chicken breasts fresh off the grill. We served plates, and BOY did we hear from the patrons who did NOT want salad. But, they were super grateful for the rest, including the fully untouched 9×13 of Mac N Cheese that will provide leftovers for today and, of course, the brownies. Hilarious!

Service complete. If you haven’t signed up for Breaking Bread – DO IT! Lots of folks out there just need a nice hot meal.

No More Gumbo For You!

With the words of Oyster looming in his head, “I have never had a complaint about food.” Machismo was worried that he would break the streak.

Salad yes that’s right salad. Tomatoes, avocado, arugula, romaine, micro greens, chicken, corn, hard boiled eggs and lots of ranch.

Machismo towed his trifecta of hombre 2.0s and was soon joined also by his M. 8 in total were in the respite care it and was a truly rewarding experience. Thank you Oyster for arranging it.

Nancy beat me to the punch with his Sunday pregame drop off but Man I wish I could stay to sample his spread. I have no fears that the complaint department will remain closed after Salad makes the cut.

Machismo was extremely blessed by the comment by a gentlemen on the way out. Having your kids here truly made this special.

A trip to Kroger and several hours preparing food with my M and Willie in the afternoon.

Helping those less fortunate benefits me and my family in countless ways!

Think about!

Loud and Proud!

Flatline

YHC and his 2.0 daughter grabbed the Q for the post-Turkey Day Saturday and cooked up some tasty Mac N Cheese, fruit bowls and homemade brownies. The meat went a little awry with a busy Saturday, so what is a sure solution – a large tray of Chick-Fil-A strips…a quick order of that and throw in some SunJoy and the meal was set. Dropoff was greeted with smiles and gratitude. A great way to close the Thanksgiving Holiday.

If you haven’t grabbed a Breaking Bread Q – do it. You can cook a great meal, you can buy a meal or, like YHC and Snare, you can go hybrid – whatever works, just show up with a tasty meal and some smiles and fellowship for those who really need it.

No More Gumbo For You!

YHC grabbed The Breaking Bread Q this Sunday and threw down a Chicken Pot Pie that any chef from a 3 star Michelin restaurant would be proud of. Rotisserie chicken? Yes please. Sauteed vegetables? Ohhh yes…Pillsbury biscuits on the top. Absolutely.

Wegman’s cookies, fruit and some iced tea to pull it all together.

Bag drop promptly at 530pm.

5 in respite, 1 Michael (staff) and YHC enjoyed the cheese, the pepperonis, the bread sticks, the garlic butter, the Greek salad and these slightly addictive cinnasquares.

Burritos were the call.  The M and 2.0 jumped in to help.  My 2.0 browned, drained and seasoned the ground beef.  The M picked out tea and lemonade to drink and a seasonal dessert, a pumpkin roll, prepared by none other than Kroger.  We dropped off the items, with all the fixins (shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa) a pile of tortillas and tortilla chips (party size of course), drinks and dessert and headed out to see our nephew’s evening soccer game.  Good family fun.  Oyster, thanks for the details and holding this position down.  See y’all in the gloom! 

YHC and 2.0 Snare delivered an abundance of piping hot Genova’s pizza along with some homemade goodies and sides to the great folks at the Daily Planet on Sunday. As we walked in we got a hearty welcome and a joyous “we were hoping for pizza”. Boom, wish granted! Football was on the tv. Service and fellowship was had for a short while and souls were fed.

they were still talking about Vandelay’s sandwiches too.

fill up that Q- sheet for the last weekend of the month men!

No More Gumbo For You!

My 2.0 and yours truly had the privilege of serving homemade sandwiches and soup to 10 souls at the Southside Health Center. Thanks for coordinating @Oyster.
