Great Weather !!

We're having amazing weather this week like much of the country.  Sunny, a little breeze, highs in the 70's and low's in the 50's.  Great sleeping weather.  A couple of days ago we even got an inch of much needed rain.   It's been so nice to have the air conditioning off and windows open.

Here are several pictures of the Firemen's Omelet Breakfast that was Sun. morning during Greater Rolfe Days and Sesquicentennial.  Bill and another guy grilled about 45 pounds of sausages on our grill and Don's here in our shed starting at 7:00 that morning.  They were hauled to town and kept hot in roasters.  The menu was large omelets with choice of ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers and cheese, sausages, muffins, orange juice, milk and coffee.  We used to cut up fresh peppers and onions but have gone to frozen and already chopped.

This year something new and popular was the chance to win a Henry Golden Boy gun.  We served breakfast to about 350 people so a very successful fundraiser for the department.

After grilling when Bill got there, we all had our jobs so he didn't cook omelets this year.  My job was making sure the ones cooking had eggs & cheese, keeping the fillings filled, cleaning tables, cracking eggs, etc.  We had 5 cookers for making individual omelets and a large grill that could do 4 at a time.   

I did get out of clean up this year because I then went on to help at 12:30 in one of the homes that was on the Tour of Homes.  I was stationed in the living room & dining room.  Carmella had about 5 of us throughout the house.
