Slices of the super watermelon that we served today. Look at that color! |
During our two-hour service we had quite a few requests for "extra watermelon please" and we were happy to oblige since we had plenty and we weren't too busy with it being the first Wednesday of the month.
In addition to the watermelon, we served entrees of chicken, turkey, salmon, chili cheese baked potatoes and pizza and of course there was also soup, salad and dessert.
One of the most popular desserts we served today was pound cake that we topped with baked apples and whipped cream. The apples came from Oregon Food Bank and were picked up by our volunteer gleaners. Today, volunteers Zane and Jan cored and sliced them, leaving the skins on, and then Zane tossed them with a bit of sugar and cinnamon and baked them until they were soft and caramelized. They made the kitchen smell so good and made our guests very happy.
