Last count we have 130 RSVP'd guests, and they anticipate more that will show without... I told them no RSVP - you get a PB&J.

I didn't get any plated pics.

At the start we were worried that we would have enough, since we had ALOT more people that we expected. I think it was a "loaves and fishes" thing, since we fed everyone (175-200) and still had enough left over to supply tonights youth group meeting (which is a good thing since the person that was supposed to be "on" for food has a 101F fever,etc). And there were still some left after that.

We had a great turn out, and everyone thanked me for the great bbq.

Mission Accomplished. I need a nap.

You done REAL GOOD!  And. much more brave than I ever hope to be.   Thought I had outdone many when I did four turkeys and two briskets for a big church feed a year ago.   They scarfed up the brisket, had turkey left.   Keep going!
