Black History Luncheon

Today at school we had our Black History Program. The students do recitations, dance (Michael Jackson this year), and sing. I heard it was the best in school history. I didn't get to go. I was busy (madly working) getting ready for our Luncheon. The "lunchroom ladies" prepared a DELICIOUS feast of Turkey, Dressing, Sweet Potatoes, Turnip Greens, (fabulous) Rolls, and of course Gravy. Since that wasn't enough (ha ha) teachers added their homemade goodness to the bounty. Here's a list of everything else:

Pinto Beans

Black-eyed Peas

Butterbeans with sliced sausage

Rice

(more) Turnip Greens

2 Pans of Cornbread

Potato Salad

Slaw

English Peas

Macaroni and Cheese

Creamed Corn

Platter of Sliced Tomatoes/Onion

PIG'S FEET AND PIG'S EARS!!!!

Chicken Necks

Chocolate Cake

Lemon Cake

3 Sweet Potato Pies

Blueberry Trifle

Macaroons

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

3 bakery cakes

Are you ready to hear what is shocking about this bounty? There are thirty four (yes that's right, 34) people on staff. Do you need to reread the list of food? And the dishes they brought weren't just little wimpy one quart casseroles. No mam. They were the turkey roasting sized aluminum pans of goodness. I might weigh 467 pounds by tomorrow. I'm afraid, I'm very afraid.
