Food Weekend Triple Wammy

Ok so this past weekend of the 2nd was one of the more busy and tiring ones I've had this year. To start off, right after school on friday, I walked to Fairfield hills to the youth center where the relay for life was being held this year. I was put on snack shack duty where we were serving hamburgers, hot dogs, cheese burgers, pizza, chips, chicken fingers, and sodas. Let me tell you, walking to the relay was tiring butthen strafing at freshly cooked food for 3 hours, is just some kind of torture method. In the second shift I got to eat some but still had to stand around and take orders for 3 hours again. Not the worst though. Next *afternoon* (I was up late at the relay and slept in) my mom decided to make some weird concoction she called blueberry pancakes. I can assuredly tell you these greenish blue floppy soggy discs on my plate, were not your average morning snack. The blueberries had swollen on the stove top (the pancakes were fresh from scratch) to the point that they were sticking out of the pancakes on both sides. I give my mom credit for trying but that's about allo give credit for. She purposefully messed with the recipe to experiment a little. It didn't work. Then on Sunday I went to a half iron man triathlon to hand out refreshments to that athletes that had made it as far as us. A half iron man is about 1 mile swimming, right into 55 miles of biking, to 13.1 miles of running in that order. My group was at mile 9 on the running portion. There were over 2400 people at the start, maybe 500 passed us. I can't ever imagine trying one. So that was my weekend in a nutshell with some sleep somewhere in the middle Grandon S.
