^^^Will def. need a couple/few hands at the house. Still finalizing the game plan, but basically the pork gets cooked and vac sealed next weekend, slaw is Friday night 12/7 before the event, and beans/greens/turkey get cooked the morning of Sat. 12/8. I think it'll be a good idea to get a bunch of the pork reheated before we head to the event so we'll be ready rather than having to wait on a huge pot of water to get hot.
Anyway - we should shoot for leaving the house at 9:45, which should put us there at 10:15, giving us an hour to get set up for service which begins at 11:15 or 11:30 (i.e. when we're ready! :twisted
. Today I'm gonna backtime from that to work out the cooking schedule, but I figure if I can get some hands here at the house at 6 or 7am that'd be a good thing and yeah we'll def. whip up some breakfast. Maybe also snag some of those Danish pastry thingees from Copenhagen Bakery to take to the site as well - won't really be time for cooking breakfast there, but there's always time to shovel kringle & stuff.
I was able to get an RD membership card for Peace4Kids that I can use (great suggestion from Bigmista) and sourced some nice turkey breasts (again, great suggestion from Neil). I did a trial run last night and it went well. Gonna hit 'em with Cavender's Greek seasoning (suggestion from dadsR4), smoke 'till a good color, and wrap with a chitload of butter (from Franklin's book) till done.
And again I'm struck by how, because of this site and the work done by Phil and the mods to maintain it, there'll be a bunch of kids in Watts eating a (hopefully!) delicious meal prepared and served by people who have become friends, who most likely wouldn't have met otherwise. A huge majority of the knowledge used to cook this food came from here as well. That's a cool thing, methinks.
Anyway, planning is getting to final stages and looking forward to executing in a couple weeks! I'll keep you farkers posted and I can't wait to see my Brethren Brothers and Sistren!
