  • Spreading First Watch Joy

    Two 1.0s and a 2.0 delivered pulled pork with buns, Sweet Baby Ray’s, mac and cheese, brownie bites, sweet tea, lemonade, and thoughts of cole slaw. Nine folks plus staff were very appreciative. No carols were sung, but YHC would like to think a little joy was spread. None of the M’s cookware was lost or damaged in the process. Oversharing likely commenced.

  • Breaking Bread – Thanksgiving Sunday

    YHC very nearly did an exact repeat of last Thanksgiving weekend in supplying 7 folks with a hot meal Sunday night. Similar to this same weekend last year, the meal was lasagna, bread, caesar salad, desserts and drinks. Unlike last year, I was allowed to bring the food in to the facility versus dropping it off at the door. A great way to give back and to wrap up to this Thanksgiving weekend.

  • Breaking Bread : Levine Family Edition

    4 Levine’s weathered the chaos of Christmas tree shopping, decorating and yard work to prepare a meal for our Southside Health Center PAX. Here’s what our cats lurking for crumbs observed :

    Warmarama : Gather 4 pound Chuck roast, 2 bags of mini size golden potatos, 1 bag of baby carrots, 2 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 teaspoon pepper 

    THE THANG :

    Gather all ingredients and throw em into the crockpot for 9 hours. During last hour, add a mixture of 2 tablespoons corn starch with 2 tablespoons cold water to thicken the broth.

    Pack the car with M and 2.0s. Mosey to Southside Health Center. Brief Hot potato Q by Mary who was filling in for Barbara. Mary instructed YHC to enter alone to 2nd floor to drop off food due to health concerns and gave the green light for a picture. 

    DONE

    Numbers, Names, YHC drove us home 

    NMMS : As always, this is a wonderful serving opportunity organized by UpChuck. Very rewarding emotionally, spiritually and all the above. Highly recommend all PAX sign up at least once a year to do this. I believe there’s an opening on Christmas Eve. Check the Q sheet for the 4th weekend of every month all the way to the farthest ride side of the screen. Include your family. Take turns watching your kids and include them too. 

  • Suth’urn hospitality

    Between Sunday afternoon influenza inoculation, and F1TV sessions the GP family got it done. We enjoyed visiting with Barbara briefly as we delivered a meal GP style:

    • Fried chicken
    • Macaroni and cheese
    • Green beans
    • Fruit salad
    • Chocolate Cupcakes
    • Sweat tea and lemonade

    NMS – We enjoyed planning and delivering this meal.  Great family collaboration. Great cause.

     

     

  • Breaking Bread – Yard Bird Night

    That better not be the neighbors chickens ”free ranging” in my yard again.
    Tonight’s menu for Breaking Bread. Smoked pulled chicken bbq, Coleslaw, Rolls, Chips, homemade pickles and Havoc’s Chocolate Chips Cookies. (We added a bag of apples and a bag of oranges for something healthy to grab during the week.)

    Chickens go on the smoker for about 2 hours with a couple of chunks of Hickory.
    2 hours (cut the grass, blown the leaves, vacuum a couple of cars). Grab the chickens, let them rest and then pull apart for some delicious pulled chicken bbq. rolls, coleslaw, pickles and top with either sweet baby rays or some Alabama white sauce.

    I really enjoy participating in Breaking Bread and having my 2.0 (Havoc) help me with preparing the meal. I may have snuck a couple more cookies out of the bag though. and my car is going to smell of hickory for a few days.

    See you in the gloom. Oyster

  • Avoid the Noid

    Audible called by the pizza delivery driver, so YHC adapted and overcame, delivering burgers, chicken sandwiches and fries. Bread was broken.

  • Saturday night Breaking Bread

    YHC had the pleasure of making up dinner for our friends at Breaking bread. Menu was Lasagna, garlic bread, Salad, and cherry pie. Dropoff was quick and easy with our friend Barbara prompt and offering a kind thanks as we loaded in the food on the cart.

    NMS: It has been a while since YHC has done breaking bread. Always good to do something nice for those less fortunate and this simple bit of service can help you with gratitude for what you have.

  • Finger Lickin Good

    With no M or 2.0s available to assist in the kitchen, YHC decided to curate instead of cook Sunday’s Breaking Bread meal: Publix fried chicken, basil and feta rigatoni salad, fruit salad, iced tea, and cookies-n-cream frosted cupcakes. Plus two bags of nectarines and a bag of tangerines for the week. The residents really appreciate that we are thinking of them, and Barbara sends her regards.

  • Breaking Bread COVID Edition : Somebody order Chinese?

    What was originally planned as a nice family affair including the M and 2.0s to prepare a meal as a team and drop it off together was instead turned into Chinese delivery. Thanks COVID….Nevertheless, here’s what happened :

    Warmarama : Text Barbara on Saturday to let her know the M has COVID and offer to have a meal delivered to Southside Health Center instead. Ask Barbara if she wants Pizza, Chinese or something else. She quickly picks Chinese as a nice change of pace. Get the PAX count : 7

    THE THANG :

    Call Lucky Chinese on Sunday at 3:30 pm. 

    Hot Potato : Tried to pass the potato to first person who answered which sounded like this :

    YHC : Can I put in a delivery order?

    Lady 1 : What kind of delivery?

    YHC : food delivery

    Lady 1 : What kind of food delivery?

    YHC : Uh…I need food delivered to Southside Health Center

    Lady 1 : Passes potato to Lady 2

    Lady 2 : (Much kinder and easier to understand) takes the following order with an ETA delivery time of 5:30 pm –

    2 large orders of vegetable fried rice 

    2 large orders of vegetable lomein

    1 large order of sesame chicken

    1 large order of beef with broccoli

    1 large order of sweet and sour  chicken 

    10 pork egg rolls

    Make sure Lady 2 has Barbara’s phone number and the address for drop off 

    DONE

    NMMS : Not what YHC envisioned for this week’s Breaking Bread when signing up but the show must go on. Barbara actually seemed elated to have Chinese food. Not sure if that’s a reflection on YHC’s previous cooking attempts?
