Christmas Lunch

Instead of a Christmas dinner this year we had lunch in the park and Barg organised the copious amount of food. Barg, Alex, Andrew, Michael, Simon, Marc and myself attended and once again we had a secret Santa thing. Although it was a really really hot day there was almost no one around when we got there and it was quite nice under the trees where we were. After lunch we came back to my place for a swim, (did I mention how hot it was!), and have another big meal for tea. So all barges food didn’t go to waste it was brought around as well. Unfortunately Brag got it in his head to BBQ his block of ham which had been left out too long only to realise it still had its protective cover on. Dinner was followed by bon bons for all…

Supersplash

Four of us, Brendan, Michael, Simon and Myself, volunteered to help with Supersplash catering for the 300+ people at the event making up half the catering team. We all attended a food handling course prior to the event at Kidman Park and Bob Ellis and I worked out a menu prior to that, not that we ended up following that menu. We arrived Friday night and set up our tents while waiting for Bob to return then unloaded food and set out supper. Early starts both days for breakfasts and not much time before lunch and then prep for tea. Clare, Brendan, Daniel and myself dressed up for tea as horror characters to promote EV while everyone was lined up. All in all it was a long and tiring weekend but not as much work as youd expect for 300 people. Brendan did a fantastic job as fidge bitch except when we thought hed gone home with the key and the door was taken off the cool room just as he rocked up with the key.
