Food

Friday & Saturday, September 24 & 25

Brethren Disaster Relief Auction

 

 

The Outside Eatery was one of several places where food could be purchased.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When our friend Bob Graybill saw me, he immediately mugged for the camera.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday was a warm afternoon and evening, creating a nice atmosphere for sitting outside to eat lunch or supper.

 

 

She brought her own lunch and enjoyed it in the air conditioned North Hall.

Lois Roop preparing my supper – a hot dog with sauerkraut.

 

 

 

 

I could have chosen a chicken barbecue meal, but a full meal was too much food for me.

 

 

However, there must have been a lot of hungry people. This began at 3:00 p.m. and is the time when many people arrived – in time for an early supper so they can enjoy the evening auctions.

 

 

 

 

Breakfast was ready by 7:00 a.m. Saturday for those with a hearty morning appetite.

 

 

I turned down breakfast so I could enjoy some of the delicious Amish-made donuts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The person making balloon decorations was sitting to the right of this picture and made creative additions to the Amish men’s straw hats.

 

 

Filling donuts

 

 

 

 

I would have loved to taste one of the filled donuts, but…

 

 

…instead chose a dish of these small, glazed donuts.

I got a cup of coffee, and kept the dish next to me during the auction, and enjoyed a small donut every now and then during the next six hours. That was pretty much my food for the day – two cups of coffee and one dish of donuts. How healthy is that?
