Mentioned previously we have changed our food schedule today to allow everyone to attend the Pulaski Mariners baseball game at 7:00.
Thursday is our big meal, but is quickly comes together. Carl browned the chopped steaks after breakfast this morning and now they will be finished off in the oven. What eventually will become the mashed potatoes start out as commercial packaged ¼ inch cubes. This allows us to put the 20 plus lbs into a steamer to cook. We then mash them with potato masher from the dollar store and use a small manual beater to finish.
In the mean time Pat Lotz does the brown gravy and then, as she does every night, prepares the soup that is part of the salad bar. They are simple modifications built around canned soup but get rave reviews each night.
Well each night except Tuesday. On Tuesdays we get won ton soup from a local Chinese restaurant. This is always an experience. Early in the morning I tried to explain to the manager what we wanted. No one in the restaurant spoke English. I thought I was getting through to them until she placed a call to her teen-age son who speaks English. It only took us another 15 minutes with him as interpreter. Either I have to learn Chinese or Pat has got to be able to make won-ton soup. I would prefer the latter.
As previously reported Millie Williams and Nancy Reynolds complete the salad bar. Keeping it stocked takes all of the lead-time we have before serving.
Nancy Carpenter baked some chocolate chip cookies to serve hot along with watermelon for dessert.
The kids are finished dinner by 5:30. They finish their evening praise service by 6:30 and are off to the game.
At the game they are publicly recognized for the work they are doing, The Mariners win their third straight game 13 to 2.
