Tornado Recovery

We have had several teams come through Tuscaloosa to help with recovery efforts and we have feed them our famous spagetti and breakfast casserole

Game Days on the Quad

We are three games into the 2011 home football schedule and are blowing and going on the Quad selling fried twinkies, hot dogs, sandwiches and drinks at the Heavenly Ham tent on the central east portion of the Quad.


Come by and see us.

Since the Tornado

The two weeks after the tornado we set up with Bryant Bank cooking for people in shelters and for first response workers. We fed several families that were staying with friends. The month after the storm our real jobs had us working eighty four hour weeks involved with storm clean up.

Several out of state teams stayed at our church and did storm rebuilding in the Holt area. We fed several of these teams dinners at night that usually consisted of pasta and spaghetti. 

The last weekend of June and the first weekend of August we fed over a hundred people barbecue at Lake Day parties.We also had a fourth of July rib fest with some families around the neighborhood. Toward the end of summer we are picking peppers and starting to make a batch of our hot sauce and looking for to football.

April 27th Tornado

On Wednesday Tuscaloosa was hit hard by a EF-5 tornado over a mile wide and crossed the city between the UA campus and the Interstate. It entereded on the west side of town, went through Forest Lake, Cedar Crest, Alberta and Holt. Over 40 people were killed and thousands lost homes.


We didn't know anyone seriously injured but had several friends that lost everything. We provided several meals to displaced families and students that found refuge with other friends on Thursday and Friday nights. Mostly we just fired up the grill and cooked all the meat from our freezer. I am not sure how long it will take our community to recover.

Maundy Thursday/ Passover Seder Meal

We attended a Christian Passover Service tonight and supplied several Kosher desserts "afikoman." Christians have added this afikoman element at the end of the traditional Hebrew Seder Meal to represent the sweetness of Redemption through the work of Christ that we celebrate during the Easter celebration. The Last Supper where Jesus instituted the sacrament of Holy Communion occurred during His final meal with His disciples as they celebrated the Passover together the night before His crucifixion.

Our afikoman consisted of spiced apple crisps, unleven sponge cake with a warm raspberry marmalade, a "Shehakol" which is a hazelnut chocolate brownie and some Sinai desert chocolate chip cookies. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening and the food. We had the pleasure of our Pastor's Jewish neighbor attending and he added to the special meaning of the celebration of our spiritual forefathers.

A-Day

We were on the Quad selling peanuts, hot dogs, nachos and fried twinkies this past Saturday before the spring football game with Heavenly Ham.

Navigators Semi Formal

We supplied appetizers and finger sandwiches for the Navigators Semi Formal held at Jester's on Thursday March 24. We made ham and cheese and roast beef sliders along with tiny Rueben's. We also made a batch of our fresh salsa and spinach artichoke dip.
