Re: What do you do for food?
 

One thing we do every year: Bulk cup-o-noodles! those rock, although you get a little tired of them after about 4 weeks, but conveniently, thats when you stop needing food! :D

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We had everyone on the team ante up 20 bucks.
Then one of the team moms stocked the Lab's kitchen full of snacks. We have soooo much food but we eat like pigs so I think in another two weeks we will be all out of food.

I forget what we do about saturdays, and our meetings normally don't last through dinner, but we usually keep chips and stuff handy.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

Well I guess I thought a lot more people did what we do... but I guess I was wrong. Our team is in a "research park" type area with restaurants everywhere within a 10 mile radius (plus we're right off the interstate... so thats not so bad either) but we basically just call up every restaurant and grocery store and ask if they would be willing to donate food for our endeavor (feeding 25 people). Believe it or not.... nearly every restaurant and grocery store doesn't mind at all... and what nights are left over we allow parents to bring food. We would get like 25 hamburgers, 25 chicken snacks, 10 medium pizzas (you heard right), a sub sandwich tray, a chicken nugget tray, jumbalaya, etc. You wouldn't believe the amount of food they are willing to give up to help out.

Last year we had every day of the build period... including saturdays... covered except maybe 6 or 7 days. Mmmm... food.

I guess our team should start appreciating this a lot more... :o

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We have each parent bring food once and sometimes twice. Most parents are happy to do this. They don't have to feed there kid dinner but once or twice during the whole build period. They figure it's cheaper and easier to provide food for 30 kids once than one kid 30 times. We also went to Cosco and baught bulk ramen, chips, and water. Nothing to elaborate.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

hahaha i feel you.

we don't usually organize food unless it's getting towards ship date. our lab is near charlottesville's mall, so a few of us occasionally run for food. we generally rely on the loving parents bringing in various snack foods :-)

Re: What do you do for food?
 

heh. at VCU, food is absolutely banned... that is of course, if they catch you...

(we always have food ready because it's quite expensive around Richmond)

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We got Papa Johns as our sponser! HEHEHE!!!!! :p Of course, we only get it on Saturdays because of our meetings that run from 9 - 3 ordinarily. :(

Re: What do you do for food?
 

wow, this thread is making me hungary

Re: What do you do for food?
 

Normally on weekdays are meeting are from 6-8:30 ish so we eat before we go. But on saturdays we get meals caterd to us.... from hy-vee.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We are a fairly small team, but since we have a BBQ, we have bought hotdogs in bulk, and we also make spagetti using a hotplate we have. The water takes a long time 2 boil its cheap and easy.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

Instant noodles are always there if anyone gets the munchies, and we get chips, granola bars, other snacks donated by no frills(a large supermarket chain) our meals arn't too healthy..

Re: What do you do for food?
 

pot noodles! - The staple food of building, as you only need a kettle lol...

Re: What do you do for food?
 

Last weekend we had our annual pot luck lunch where everyone brings a dish to pass. It makes for nice variety and there is often much food to go around.
