On Saturday evening Boy Scout Troop 24 hosted a spaghetti dinner at Kennett Friends Meeting -- and if the quality of the food is any indication, those Scouts eat very, very well.
Dads filled our plates with spaghetti, delicious homemade marinara sauce (I'm told they started cooking it on Wednesday), meatballs, and sautéed Kennett Square mushrooms. There were also salads, rolls and homemade desserts.
When we sat down a polite Scout with the nametag "Barnacle Boy" (I suspect that was an alias) took our drink orders. He came back later to check if we needed anything else.
It was all-you-can-eat, but one plate of spaghetti was more than ample even with our hearty appetites. A terrific meal and for $8 a great bargain!
I was also happy to catch up with two mothers of Scouts who were there, Sally Warren and Carol Anne Ganly.
Parenthetically, I noticed that one of the folding chairs at our table had a faded red-and-white sticker on the back announcing that it was the property of Thompson Roses. Old-timers will remember that the Thompson greenhouses used to be on Thompson Road in New Garden Township.
