Sunday's dinner was a huge success. I made them lots of garlic toast.
And 4 chocolate cakes with vanilla bean icing served with vanilla icing.
I seasoned the filets ahead of time.
I cooked 75 steaks at one time on a huge catering grill. Quite an experience.
All of the guys were thrilled. Well, except for one. He asked if I had any rib eyes and was very disappointed when I told him all I had was filet mignon.
The Blog Tech and I sauteed tons of onions and peppers to go with the steaks. Someone at the shelter told me the guys love peppers and onions. I forgot to take a pic but I sauteed 40 lbs of fresh asparagus too.
I made 13 quarts of ranch dressing.
And a coconut poke cake in case someone didn't like chocolate.
I drive a suburban and the entire car was packed with food.
The shelter tends to be a noisy place but the moment the food was served, you could have heard a pin drop. Those guys know how to eat! So a good time for all except maybe the rib eye guy and another fellow that seems disappointed that I had not made hollandaise sauce for the asparagus. Just because you are homeless doesn't mean you can't still be picky!

Thanks, Joyce, for showing us the true way to spread birthday joy and blessings!
Funny about the picky two. Shows they still have some spunk.
Not only the expense but the time and effort. You're awesome.
Many blessings to you and your family who all helped.
That shelter is very lucky that they have someone to care about them the way you do. I bet they care about you, too~
Yish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW...hubby has fallen in love with Teddy just as I have! We still love Echo our male 130 lb. Alaskan Malamute...he doesn't give us a choice :)
Not just by helping me with my wish to scrapbook, but with your heartfelt words when I lost my Sandy.
HUGE hugs to you AND your wonderful family.
Mona
