lots o' cooking

dinner for 120...

tuesday night, lindsay and i peeled 30 pounds of potatoes and got them sitting in water. when i got home on wednesday, i turned the stove on so they'd head on to a boil. the ladies did the vast majority of the cooking and packaging of the food though. you know the disposable aluminum pans? we had half size ones (9"x12" ?) and filled up 4 with green beans, 6 with mashed potatoes, and 11!! with mac & cheese. my goal was 4 large pans (8 half size) of each side item (since i was told that a full-size pan has 32 servings), so i hope this will be enough...

we've also got 3 huge bags of salad, a bunch of rolls, cookies, drinks and juice, ranch dressing, and we have someone picking up fried chicken from the walmart and kroger delis right beforehand. orders placed for 50 drumsticks (for the 50 kids) and 150 mixed pieces (for the 70 adults).

i'll let ya know how it all goes!
