Glad To Be Back

Cooking fresh from the garden produce.

It was so good to be back volunteering at the Wednesday Community Meal.

I missed the work, the community we serve and my fellow volunteers who have become dear friends.

After a quick catch up though we had to get to work because it was a busy busy day.

We had top notch produce thanks to volunteer Kate who has a large garden and is very generous. She brought in squash, beans, tomatoes and some of the best eggplant I've ever seen. We also had lettuce and chard from Spring Hill Organic Farm.

There was lots of chopping to do but we made a really good vegetable medley with tri-colored pasta and beef.

After the doors opened we served 220 meals in just the first hour of service and by the end of the two hour service we had served 342 meals.

And it's not even the last week of the month yet which is almost always the busiest. I'm anticipating that next week will be our busiest ever.
