Edna Wilson's Okie Breakfast

Really bad pixs by ron thomas


Edna brought a lot of full tummies to the Hill today. In the few years we have lived here we had not seen anything of the magnitude of this feast. 54 people were served and sent on their way with a cornacopia breakfast. That included ham, chicken fried steak, fruit, sauteed onions, cowboy potatoes, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, redeye gravy and probably more than you can think of... Edna had a crew of at least ten in the kitchen. She had about the same amount cleaning up and setting up yesterday. It was a lot of work but it also was a heck of a good time. Edna thought up the menu and was the driving force behind this effort. She is already thinking ahead to what else we might do in the future.

The ladies were pretty upset with the tripping circuit breakers in the kitchen but given the extra large volume of electrical fryers and cookers in addition to the microwave ovens... this was completely understandable. Lessons learned will see us using outlets on both sides of the clubhouse during a large event such as this. One thing we did notice is there are a number of outlets with internal weak springs and they should be replaced as they are adding to the problem and do not cost much to fix.
