I survived my first pasta feed this week!
Every Wednesday after practice Luke's water polo team goes to a different player's house for a pasta dinner. I have always shied away from signing myself up for things like this, especially after hearing all the stories about how much food these kids can put away. But after several emails looking for someone to fill in Wed. Oct. 5th, I finally relented and offered up our house.
How much can 25 water polo players eat you ask?
5 lbs. cooked spaghetti pasta
3 1/2 batches of my spaghetti with meat sauce
70 breadsticks (heat and serve from Costco)
some salad
60 snickerdoodles
40 brownies
5 gallons of lemonade
It was a lot of fun. I definitely took some notes for next time. For instance a 3lb. bag of salad was a bit much. Let's just say we will be eating salad for a few days around here. Also, despite Luke's insistence that I make plenty of brownies, 100 was probably overly ambitious. I have been giving brownies away left and right.
The biggest surprise? Breadsticks! Those kids can really put away the bread sticks!
That is amazing. Good thing you don't have to do that after every practice, bankruptcy would no doubt follow in short order!
