Lisa's husband, Charlie, made food runs every couple of hours. It was his primary job, and I can honestly say, he did a fantastic job. The first food we sampled was pierogies. Since I have never sampled this delicacy, it was a treat! We had mushroom, potato, meat and taco filled pierogies. We also had a large fried pierogi filled with meat, potatoes and cheese.
We also sampled alligator and the snow cones from the booth next to us. Charlie bought one of the silver mugs you see in the picture below filled with rootbeer. Nice keepsake!
Here a couple is enjoying potato pancakes, pierogies and polish sausage with kraut.
Cooking the sausages and kabobs in 98 degree weather...not fun!
Finally after seeing several plates piled high with homemade potato chips, we sampled them. They were good...but between the three of us, we couldn't finish a plate. That's a lot of potatoes!
These guys are enjoying a polish sausage sandwich and chicken kabobs. I'm not sure the kabobs are polish, but I do know...they were good!
After a long day of feeding thousands upon thousands of people, the alligator guy took a nap in this chair. His booth was right across from ours. Apparently, they ran out of alligator the first day. They made the 3 hour trip home to get more supplies and then had to prepare them before opening back up at 11am on Saturday. He was so tired, and so out of it, we were afraid he'd done bit the dust. Glad to say he woke from his nap and continued with the feeding of the masses.
After eating meat and starch all weekend, I told Lisa and Charlie I was going to go home and have a big salad. That is exactly what I did.
It was absolutely delish! I layered greens, cucumber, tomato, shredded cheese, red onion, craisens, chicken breast and some salad nuggets on a plate. Use your favorite fruity dressing and enjoy!
Great post Darlene! It brought back fond and sticky memories of last week. This weekend we're having a cool front...go figure:)
