Christmas Waffles

So this has taken a little while for me to post, but we finally put the pictures from Austin's phone onto the computer.  While we were still at our post of Activities Committee Chair for our ward our last activity was the Ward Christmas Party.  Austin really wanted to go out with a bang and was convinced we had to make waffles from scratch for 125 people...  Yeah, I know, crazy idea!  So we ended up making 9 times the normal batch.  I believe we needed 22.5 cups of buttermilk, 22.5 cups of flour, etc...  A ton of each ingredient.  We had to mix the wet ingredients together first.  We ended up with our 2 largest mixing bowls we could find in the house and had them full to the brim.  Then we had to beat dozens of eggs to "soft peaks". Then we had to mix the dry ingredients together.  . For this we ended up using a, 18 gallon tote...  Needless to say, we had a lot of mixing to do.  We stayed up fairly late the night before the activity getting all of this ready.  Thankfully the big tote fit in our fridge downstairs.  The next morning everything trurned out great and everyone loved the fluffy waffles!  So here's the pics!
