All, The big feed on Saturday would not have happened without the extreme generosity of one person and the hard work of two others.
Please give a *big* thanks to Don Arburn for donating the beef!!! And another to Vico Jones for butchering the steer, AND the pig (and cooking it). Sorry to those who haven't seen the cow butchering video on facebook (or not, it was graphic!). Finally to Terry Holsinger who did the majority of the legwork in getting all the food bits together. I hope you all saw the Pirate menu or read the description cards of the dishes :-) And of course please thank your cooks for slaving all day over hot burners and cutting boards, and all the time before hand in putting it together... Denise Prendergast and Jocie Hooper - coconut bars (Pieces of Eight) Matt Zappitello (w/Crystal LeBoeuf) - Pineapple Upsidedown cake (Cabin Boy's Delight) Aimee Beveridge (w/?) - Cup cakes (Kraken Snacks) Heather Tucek - Fruit Salad (Seadog Salad) Leslie Bell - Green Salad (Jewel o' t' Eart' Salad) Terry Holsinger (w/Sandi Calhoun) - Rice and Peas (Cat o' nine tails) Terry Holsinger - Beans & Tomatos (Drawn and Quartered) Galen Falgout** - Escoveech Fish (Shore Leave) Terry Holsinger - Caribbean Style Chicken (Scurvy Island Chicken) Vico Jones - Whole Roasted Pig (The Last Mutineer) Aimee Beveridge - Spicy Punkin Curry (Parrot's Booty) Umm - Caribbean Beef Stew (Scalawags Surprise) Galen Falgout** (w/Heather Tucek) - Spinners (Rotten Doubloons) (** Galen said to me a few weeks ago that he'd like to help, but didn't want to do/own a whole dish. So he ended up doing two!! We appreciate that!) And to their many helpers for cutting/slicing/chopping/stirring/frying/turning/opening/etc. And to ASS for serving it all (and pulling that together, it's more complicated than you think!!), and for generally being awesome for doing a lot of final prep and help for various dishes - Smoked beef and sausage slices, for instance. Thanks y'all, and very much so from me. Stefan (Chief Cook and Bottle Washer). -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
