The Splinter abode planned and prepared a meal for Breaking Bread this past Sunday. After much discussion, chicken parmesan, green beans, biscuits, and cookie brownies were offered. After the aroma wafted through the car for the 17 minute drive to belt boulevard, we unloaded and served for this week’s guests. Moleskin Who knew there would be such passion towards football this Sunday? Prime Time appeared in his Eagles sweatshirt, prompting much discussion about the close games of the afternoon. Especially pleased was the gentleman wearing the Chiefs jacket, happy his team squeaked out yet another win. Oyster and Upchuck say…

My 16 yo 2.0 daughter helped me cook up a chicken BBQ feast with Mac n cheese and salad for the folks at The Daily Planet. She drove, we delivered. It was great to serve. If you haven’t done BB yet – sign up, tag team and do it.
For this evening’s meal, a family pasta classic was in order here. Cajun Chicken Polska Kielbasa Pasta in a cream sauce was the main dish. Had Salad, garlic bread as sides and Brownies for dessert. All homemade from scratch. This was an honor to prepare.

Saturday evening’s edition of Breaking Bread was a heaping helping of Mexican fare, with plenty of tortillas, shredded cheese, salsa, seasoned ground beef and diced tomatoes and onions for all 12 being served. This was washed down w/ a few 2 liters of soda followed by a variety of cookies for dessert. Food was dropped off to a dimly-lit room, with a more-talkative-than-usual bunch, greeting & thanking us while checking out some college football. The M and I then headed out for a hot date. Side note: Apparently, you should date your M or someone else will. Perhaps the coolest…
It was a privilege to grill & serve a late summertime meal to the folks at Breaking Bread – headcount of 11 and there was a spirit of thankfulness amongst the crew. A few stories were shared between the guys and I’m looking forward to signing up for another round. Thanks to Oyster for his continued organization of the endeavor for the RVA region! Until next time – GP
No time for the YHC’s usual Breaking Bread homemade BBQ dinner today, so a pizza party it was! More than enough pizza, salad, desserts and drinks for 10 wonderful souls. Always an honor to do this near my birthday and to do it with my kids. Garbage Plate has it tomorrow evening! Sign up! Kubota
9 guests, one worker, and one guest join in Personhood to celebrate the latest edition of Breaking Bread. Conditions were 70 and sunny. According to the sweet older lady who YHC has seen several times over the years, the following might have been served. Baked ham, King’s Hawaiian rolls, Dad’s Mashed Potatoes (🥔 Upchuck’s version), and green beans (UpChuck’s version). Many thank you’s were expressed for F3, whether lasagna or this evening’s dinner. Those folks love them some F3 (as does Sharon, the new Barbara). No numbers, no names, but a gentleman, out of nowhere, said a wonderful blessing. If…
Up the steps to the back door, YHC was greeted by a full house. Twelve men and women are staying at the Daily Planet Respite program this weekend. When the group is this large, it’s time for Italian: a sheet pan of lasagna, a couple of loaves of garlic bread, a big salad, watermelon, and some chocolate chip cookies. Meeting some of the friendliest people around is just what YHC needed.

YHC didn’t have the bandwidth for a FULL homecooked meal. But baked some garlic bread, scooped pasta salad and banana pudding from Kroger, then the star of the meal – ZAXBY TENDERS (with enough sauce to drown them). I’ve never ordered 40 tenders from Zaxby’s – but I think YHC cleaned em out! Sharon and the group at Daily Planet were awesome. Hung out with the group for a little while – who were all super thankful and they absolutely brightened my day. What a great opportunity to serve. Props to @oyster for keeping this great outreach program moving. 2…
