A couple weeks ago I was invited to a teacher’s retirement party. I ended up in the kitchen helping out, because you can always use two more hands when you are feeding 700 people.

Don’t be fooled by the lack of scale in this photo. There were about 50 drumsticks being fried inside.
We filled 600 clam shell take-away boxes for 300 students and one family member with seven foods. The special guests were served about 20 foods from chafing dishes. I thought feeding 100 or so people for the Fourth of July was intense, but this was a whole different ballgame.
