BBQ "A" Levels
Have you ever had 60 people prepare a B-B-Q? There is a first time for everything. I had that wonderful experience on Saturday afternoon.
The "A" level boys were informed they would be participating in such an event on Friday night. They were divided into teams for shopping and food preparation. Each team was given more than enough money to cover the cost of provisions from the market.
The boys and the girls went shopping on Saturday and all provisions and personnel had to report to Selborn for 4:30 P.M. "Let the games begin!"
It was really interesting to see how the preparations came along.

One team worked on the potato salad. Their cutting technique was interesting to watch. and their mixing technique was quite ingenious!.jpg)
Another team was charged with making the green salad - lettuce, oranges, green peppers, carrots, etc.

A third group worked on preparing the salsa for the chip dip.
The coleslaw was prepared by yet another group.

Not to be outdone was the group charged with making the hamburger patties! You want me to mix that!!! A wood fire was lit in the fire pit and then members of the hamburger team cooked the burgers, chicken sausages, marinated chicken, mushrooms, and some garlic.

The final group was responsible for making the banana splits with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. (no pics)
The meal was delicious even if I still smell of B-B-Q smoke.
Following supper we all went inside to watch the film Rain Man! How prophetic. While we were watching the film the skies opened and the rain came down in torrents. When we left at 10:30 P.M. the sloped driveway was awash in water. My feet got wet as the water came up over the back of my running shoes as I walked down the driveway. I was fortunate to grab an auto for the trip back to Lushington Hall. I was soaked right up to my knees.
Today, Monday, the Road's minister is in Ooty inspecting the poor condition of the roads. Something must be done as the water was at least 6 inches deep on Saturday, right up to the middle of the hub caps on some vehicles
On Thursday a group of IGs leave for our long weekend. We are going to Chennai and Pondicherry on the overnight train Thursday and coming back on the train Sunday night.
Stay tuned for details.

Bill, I have prepared for 60 but not had 60 helpers….that is just too many cooks. Good organization. How do you avoid personal mildew with all that rain and being wet all the time?
