  • Craft Clan Rises to The Challenge

    Bottoms Up Pizza Friday night, The Craft Clan produced a wonderful grocery list for Breaking Bread. Knowing Flatline was working Saturday, the plan was laid out! After dinner, to the grocery store I went!

    Flatline’s M and 2.1 cooked the spaghetti and 2 pans made-Alfredo with broccoli and Marinara Sauce! Thank goodness for bagged Caesar’s salad x 3, 2 bags of cookies, Pepsi 2 Liter and 2L of Sweet Tea.

    All packed up and delivery at 1730. Willey provided delivery service and security for M.

    Providing for those that are less fortunate is a fantastic lesson for our children. For Flatline and M, our tank is filled. Oyster, thank you for “making” me Q Breaking Bread!

    Loud and Proud.

  • Football Fans Galore

    The Splinter abode planned and prepared a meal for Breaking Bread this past Sunday. After much discussion, chicken parmesan, green beans, biscuits, and cookie brownies were offered. After the aroma wafted through the car for the 17 minute drive to belt boulevard, we unloaded and served for this week’s guests.

    Who knew there would be such passion towards football this Sunday? Prime Time appeared in his Eagles sweatshirt, prompting much discussion about the close games of the afternoon. Especially pleased was the gentleman wearing the Chiefs jacket, happy his team squeaked out yet another win.

    Oyster and Upchuck say this plenty, this is an easy #3rd F opportunity for you and the rest of the family.

    Splinter out.

  • Breaking Bread with BBQ Chicken

    My 16 yo 2.0 daughter helped me cook up a chicken BBQ feast with Mac n cheese and salad for the folks at The Daily Planet. She drove, we delivered. It was great to serve. If you haven’t done BB yet – sign up, tag team and do it.

  • 10-26-24 Breaking bread

    For this evening’s meal, a family pasta classic was in order here. Cajun Chicken Polska Kielbasa Pasta in a cream sauce was the main dish. Had Salad, garlic bread as sides and Brownies for dessert. All homemade from scratch.

    This was an honor to prepare.

    Nailed it!  Always a pleasure to give back.

  • More like Breaking Tortillas

    Saturday evening’s edition of Breaking Bread was a heaping helping of Mexican fare, with plenty of tortillas, shredded cheese, salsa, seasoned ground beef and diced tomatoes and onions for all 12 being served. This was washed down w/ a few 2 liters of soda followed by a variety of cookies for dessert. Food was dropped off to a dimly-lit room, with a more-talkative-than-usual bunch, greeting & thanking us while checking out some college football. The M and I then headed out for a hot date. Side note: Apparently, you should date your M or someone else will.

    Perhaps the coolest part was getting my 9-year-old son, Jack, in the kitchen. He was browning beef, chopping vegetables, packing items up and I believe, feeling very proud of himself. These are the moments you know that F3 is much more than just burpees and coffee.

    Tonight, Hutton’s up.

  • Breaking bread & grilled chicken

    It was a privilege to grill & serve a late summertime meal to the folks at Breaking Bread – headcount of 11 and there was a spirit of thankfulness amongst the crew. A few stories were shared between the guys and I’m looking forward to signing up for another round. Thanks to Oyster for his continued organization of the endeavor for the RVA region!

    Until next time – GP

  • Pizza Party!

    No time for the YHC’s usual Breaking Bread homemade BBQ dinner today, so a pizza party it was! More than enough pizza, salad, desserts and drinks for 10 wonderful souls. Always an honor to do this near my birthday and to do it with my kids.

    Garbage Plate has it tomorrow evening!

  • Breaking Bread – Please, No More Lasagna. We Want Ham and Potatoes!

    9 guests, one worker, and one guest join in Personhood to celebrate the latest edition of Breaking Bread. Conditions were 70 and sunny. According to the sweet older lady who YHC has seen several times over the years, the following might have been served.

    Baked ham, King’s Hawaiian rolls, Dad’s Mashed Potatoes (🥔 Upchuck’s version), and green beans (UpChuck’s version).

    Many thank you’s were expressed for F3, whether lasagna or this evening’s dinner. Those folks love them some F3 (as does Sharon, the new Barbara).

    No numbers, no names, but a gentleman, out of nowhere, said a wonderful blessing.

    If you haven’t done Breaking Bread, grab a pal, whip up a menu, scratch together a couple of dishes, and insist on being part of serving the dinner (do not let Sharon tell you to just go home). Chat with the residents, learn a bit, and push yourself (don’t hurt yourself) in a non-workout context. It’s a reward to learn how much we are given in life.

    YHC thanks his M., Carrie, for her help (though YHC candidly claims credit for the green beans, potatoes, and rolls).

    UpChuck spits the bit.

  • Breaking Bread – Lasagna Night

    Up the steps to the back door, YHC was greeted by a full house. Twelve men and women are staying at the Daily Planet Respite program this weekend. When the group is this large, it’s time for Italian: a sheet pan of lasagna, a couple of loaves of garlic bread, a big salad, watermelon, and some chocolate chip cookies. Meeting some of the friendliest people around is just what YHC needed.

    Lasagna
    Garlic Bread
    Salad
    Watermelon
    Chocolate Chips Cookies

    If you would like to sign up for Breaking Bread, you can find it on the Q sheet. Choose the last weekend of the month, either Saturday or Sunday. YHC will send you all the details a few days before your scheduled day, including how many people will be there, where to go, and what time to arrive.

    Get the family involved! My 2.0 loves choosing the menu, helps make the dinner and is always all in on making the desserts. Whether you’re a great cook or not, it’s all good. You can prepare your meal from scratch or order food, such as chicken and sides from Publix. The most important thing is that we are providing a hot meal to some folks who don’t always get one. Let’s Go!!!!
