Keeping the Boutique Sausages and Onions Sizzling - Brian Crichton and Tom Byrne |
There are some things that gel into the natural flow of our everyday lives and one of them is the Saturday morning trip to Bunnings, not just to stock up for the action plans de jour but to fortify the body with lots of protein for the projects ahead. And so it was on a beautiful Saturday, May 1st, when, at the Toowoomba Bunnings store, members of the ESK COMMUNITY CHOIR were at the ready sizzling kilos of those bewitching Boutique Meats sausages to stave off hunger as shoppers swarmed like ants to a picnic around the sausage tent.
With over 60 kilos of sausages to sizzle, loads of loaves and oceans of fried onions to tempt the passing parade, Kathie, Tom and their cracking team of willing workers moving in sync around the confines of a relatively small space, had sausages 'with' and 'without' handed out to the next row of hungry weekend warriors before that last squirt of tomato sauce had hit the ground.
To have the opportunity to fundraise in this way is a coup for the Choir and much of the gratitude must go to Kathie for her initiative. However, these days are never possible without a lot of hard work and co-operation from Choir members. It is also to the credit of those hard working volunteers that this day was gastronomically, socially and financially a great success.
