Well, it's been a while since I posted anything here. I have a day job and I have only been home a few weeks now...which is bliss! I do like my job, but 45 days from April through June in another city living in a hotel is hard! I'm happy now to be home.
In June we had an awesome Freezer Meal experience....23 people were there. We made over 700 servings of food with about 40 dozen cookies in 2.5 hours! A record! I planned a very grill friendly menu. The church kitchen can get hot and so using the stove is not a great idea. We made Dolly Parton's Baked Beans (my adapted version), several marinaded grill meats (one particular favorite is Turkey Apple Burgers), and the infamous Double Tree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies. It was a one week reprieve from the traveling so I was home to get ready for the meals.
Last Friday I held a planning session with several of the team who have been dedicated attendees. We are going to continue this year and take notes on how things go. There were some great suggestions for next year. I got a beautiful note from a family who lives close by a church member and has benefited from some of the meals. Her quote "I think what you are doing is just wonderful!". I am sooo glad that this mission in life is not just bringing together a community of friends in one of my favorite places (the kitchen) but also that we can touch other people with the extra meals we make to share.
Happy eating and cooking!
