Since our first pancake breakfast for the Army birthday in April was such a huge success we decided to immediately have another one. On Saturday, 17 October we served apple spice, blueberries 'n cream and plain flapjacks to approximately 100 troops. Volunteers Chris and Grace were flipping at warp speed, but even they could not keep up with the crowds. For the next pancake breakfast we'll get more grills, hotter grills and larger grills. I saw eyes rolling with delight and lips a-licken' after the troops added toppings of butter, syrup and whipped cream. Everyone in attendance had a great time.
Volunteers Shae and Phil did most the dirty work, but cleaning up huge bowls of dried batter and burnt up grills without the benefit of running water or a sink -- not so much fun.
We are delighted and proud to serve our troops. Literally.
