In the Kitchen

This rainy chilly day was a great day to bake! ...and so we did.

First, we did the requisite grocery store shuffle.  We narrowed our shopping down to 3 stores today and still went over budget.  That is always a bit discouraging, but easily remedied right?

Again, we are working on the idea that we may have 50 people there to serve.  It is always, and I mean ALWAYS a bit daunting to get that figured out, fixed and served.  We have been here now for 7 months and in that time have probably fixed 35 meals.  Doesn't it seem to you that I should be used to this?  Well...maybe I am getting there.

SK said today, "Do you know what I think we ought to do when we get home?"....."Open a restaurant!"   Honestly....I didn't think that was a bit funny, but we both laughed.

I don't mind the cooking, but I am always relieved when dinner is over and people have enjoyed it.  It is such a blessing to be with the YSAs ---THAT is the best part of everything at the center.

We spent 5 hours at the center this evening making sugar cookies, working on the salad for tomorrow and cleaning up.  It was 9:45 when we got home and although the sun had set, the sky was still the pale blue of a lingering sunset. This is fascinating.  It begins to get light by 5....I don't know what the offical sunrise time is.  But the days are definitely getting longer.

I had better go to bed while it is still dark!

Good Night.
