Desert Falcons Monthly Potluck – 28th September

Desert Falcons team enjoying a breakfast potluck after dragon boat training at Deira Creek

 After a great morning of paddling on 28th September, the Desert Falcons came together for one of our favorite traditions—our monthly potluck breakfast! There’s nothing quite like sharing good food after a tough training session, and this month’s potluck did not disappoint.

Right after wrapping up our water training session, the team gathered on the shore to enjoy a variety of delicious treats brought by our amazing paddlers.

The Feast:

  • Mah: Brought egg and assorted cheese, which gave everyone a solid protein boost after paddling. Perfect post-training fuel!
  • Is: Treated the team to Malaysian Gardenia Toast’em and 434 black coffee. The toast was warm and crispy, while the coffee gave us all the caffeine kick we needed.
  • Jobai: Served some soft and fresh Philippine Pandesal—a perfect, fluffy bread that paired well with just about everything on the table.
  • Alnita: Brought peanut butter, which went perfectly with the toast and pandesal. Simple but delicious!
  • Lambert: Added a sweet touch with Dutch Stroopwafels—crispy waffles with gooey caramel in the middle. They were a hit!
  • Khaled: Rounded out the feast with Jordanian Dates, which were naturally sweet and a great energy booster after the workout.

What Made This Potluck Special?

This potluck wasn’t just about the food—it was about bonding as a team. After working hard together on the water, sharing breakfast allowed us to relax, chat, and get to know each other better. The food from different countries made it even more special, as each person brought a taste of their culture.

Wrapping Up:

As we wrapped up our breakfast, everyone left with full bellies and happy hearts. It’s moments like these that remind us that the Desert Falcons aren’t just a team—we’re a family. We paddle together, and we eat together! 💪🥐

Can’t wait for next month’s potluck! What will everyone bring next time? 😋
