As far as Thursdays go, this was a typical one. I was mostly on my feet from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. this evening. I need to plan better. I spent a lot of time at the stove. It was a comparatively easy menu, but time-consuming.
We had chicken pot pie, bread, sliced apples and cinnamon rolls. My own cream of chicken soup (for the pot pie) takes an enormous amount of time since it has to be baby-sat. It needs stirring....and I can't get too far away from it lest it burn.
I had a long conversation with a young man who loves to cook....and it sounds like he knows a fair amount about it. He is busy with work, and he just moved into new apartment which needs a considerable amount of repair/remodeling, which he will do. He sounds like a hard worker and an ambitious one at that. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with him.
He said he would love to come in on a Thursday sometime and help me. I jumped at that!...and invited him to come two weeks from today. I talked to him about what kinds of things he likes to cook so that we can make a meal he enjoys.
From that point on, I hope to get a guest chef on a regular basis. I will shop and assist, or the other person could assist...whichever works out best. Melissa is down for May.
I think this could be the beginning of some very good friendships!
It's brilliant!! Can't wait for my turn. :) It really is SUCH a good idea. You ought to get that professional baker to come in.
ReplyDeleteI would love nothing better than to have her come in. She has been going to extra classes lately and hasn't even had time to come to the center....but that would be especially nice.
DeleteAMEN! You didn't say- but I'm sure they enjoyed your chicken pot pie and cinnamon rolls. Use all the help you can get! That is too long on your feet - and I know you smiled the whole time. L&P
ReplyDeleteThey seemed to like it...it all got eaten! I am going to try to get more help. Besides being a great relief, it is fun to work along side them. They are so fun. L&P
