Monday night was one of the Varsity boys basketball team dinners, we signed up long ago to host it here. I believe they have 3 of them a season. When we signed up I figured February was a long ways off and picked the last one. That was before we had to do some juggling so now Scott was out of town to St Louis for work and I was home prepping to make and serve dinner to 16 extra boys. Nothing to it right?
Mom's spaghetti and meatball recipe to the rescue. I made 8 lbs of meatballs. About 10 cans of tomato sauce and lots of secret spice ingredients and voila. Dinner was on its way to being prepared. Bought 3 extra gallons of milk, 3 gallons of ice cream and lots of toppings to boot. Another Mom from the team offered to bring salad and bread and we were good to go.
About 5:45 pm the boys started piling in from practice and they were grateful and thankful for a home cooked meal. Some even asked me to email their moms the spaghetti sauce recipe. I believe it was a HIT! And the ice cream sundae bar...easy and also a big hit!
Oh did I mention Jack and Max were both home sick too...nice addition huh? Ran Jack to the Dr midmorning to find he had strep and Max was recuperating from the stomach flu on Sunday. Sure hope none of the boys took home the bugs with them...
What a privilege to be able to host this group of players and managers. Such kind and polite boys. They stayed around after dinner and played some video games and pool in the basement. Around 9:30 the last of them were kicked out. :)
Great memories being made...
