We have had a busy and fruitful Thanksgiving season.
In conjunction with Heavenly Ham, we provided 50lbs of sliced smoked turkey and 40lbs of sliced honey glazed hams, along with banana pudding, chocolate delight, and pumpkin spice cake to the First Community Church Thanksgiving Outreach Lunch. The Saturday after the Georgia State game. This fed over 250 satisfied people.
Pastor Henry Green of First Community Church loves to joke that I am the only male that the ladies of First Community allow into their sacred soul kitchen.
We also fried turkeys in peanut oil for several families for their thanksgiving feasts.
For Christmas, the same menu is available, along with traditional sides (such as green bean casserole, garlic blue cheese creamed potatoes, spinach and artichoke dip, stuffed tomatoes, creamed sweat potatoes, roasted almond asparagus, etc.) and additional desserts upon request including carrot cake, red velvet cake, red velvet cheesecake, and others.

Football Season 2010
This football season, we worked closely with Heavenly Ham with their concessions tent on the University of Alabama Quad. Two Dogs & No Cats provided the Cajun boiled peanuts - a southern football essential.
Fall 2010
This Fall we have supplied several families with meals due to new babies, family illness, etc.
Some of the items we have perfected and delivered are: drunk chicken, vegetable calzones, chicken dumplins, turnip greens, stewed squash, chicken pot pie (with a pancake crust), oyster dressing, okra gumbo, and red beans and rice. We also have a sausage stroganoff, Taos green chili chowder, shrimp cheese grits, gazpacho, vegetable spaghetti, and a chicken corn chowder that we have historically produced on request.
On special occasions we have made our hot and sour soup from scratch on site. This is a recipe that took a couple of years to perfect and has everybody wondering how can we not be Asian. Although I do have an Italian/Vietnamese cousin-in-law that has had some influence on me.
Our best comments have been from our Okinawan grandmother aged neighbor who says our hot and sour soup is better than her Grandmother's and the women from the kitchen of the west side First Community Church sneaking to-go plates of our banana puddin out the back kitchen door because it is better than their Grandmother's. Talk about crossing racial, cultural and gender lines. Good food is good food.

October 2010
We catered a church Harvest Festival, where we supplied our famous Brunswick Stew and southern boiled peanuts for over 50 families.
This event has become a tradition for us and the church, because every year now, we get asked if our Brunswick Stew will be on the menu. And it gets better EVERY YEAR!
This month, we also fed a Sunday night church dinner for over 75 children featuring hot dogs, hamburgers and Brennon's famous mac n' cheese!
