The main event for me in the CVE kitchen this fall was preparing for Thanksgiving and the Thanksgiving team.
Thankfully, Jody Klotzle was here Thanksgiving week to bring it all together.
Pounds and pounds of mashed potatoes
And many scrumptious pies!
Enjoying the fellowship and the fireplace
Other than Thanksgiving, I have been organizing and cleaning the walk in freezer,
updating the first aid supplies,
organizing in the storage
The day after Halloween, Bertha decided to attack the cobwebs. We said it was time to take down the decorations. ;)
My job also includes lots of communication with staff and visitors about who will be eating at what meals. I also do food orders, communicate with distributors, and handle paperwork.
One major project in the last four months has been finding uses for donated food.
Hence, spinach puffs...
and shredded wheat cereal bars.
We have also packaged up food for families in the community. And some expired food has been fed to the CVE pork suppliers to be turned into ham and bacon.
