How much can you eat...

Last week we had the privilege of feeding the missionaries.  We were making hamburgers.DSC03378 DSC03381 DSC03382

You may think oh, look - Just enough burgers to feed Sheri's family and the missionaries.  But, you are WRONG.

I called the missionaries to let them know what we were fixing for dinner and to ask them how many burgers they would each eat, thinking they would say 'two each'.  The elder I was speaking to said "My companion said he would eat THREE (at this point I'm thinking "boy, these guys are hungry and probably haven't eaten all day")... and I'll have FIVE"!!!  He also told me that they had a meeting from two until six and then another appointment right after that so they would just swing by and pick up the food and eat it on the way to their appointment. 

So all of these burgers are for the two elders.  Matt thought that it would be funny to give them really BIG burgers.  Take a look at how thick they were.

I wish I could have been there to see them eat it.  On Sunday the elders said thanks again but didn't even mention how huge the burgers were.  Maybe they were coming off a fast or incredibly hungry.

Here's the finished product.  I also sent a bag of chips, some carrots and 3 dozen choc. chip cookies.

BON APPETITE!

I guess I will need to be prepared for a gigantic grocery bill when my boys get bigger.
