Week 3

Hello again! The end of week 3.


Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary happened this week. No unexpected need to evacuate! However, we did have a planned fire drill on Thursday morning- which is Pizza Day at the school.  We worked around the fire drill and somehow managed to make over 40 pizzas.


On Friday we had a catering event at a local company for 50 people as well as the regular lunch for the highschool students, which also turned out to be very busy. Everyone seemed to want to buy lunch on Friday, and we ran out of the regular lunch menu. Jed magically created a few more meals out of thin air, so that no one went away hungry. Way to go Jed!


We made kale chips for the staff and students to sample this week. For those of you who don't know what kale chips are: kale drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with various seasonings, and roasted in the over until crispy. By the way, kale is a very nutritious leafy green vegetable not to be confused with kelp which is seaweed :) The first people to sample these kale chips did NOT like them (I appreciate the honesty, really!!) so I started to wonder whether this was a good idea. However, as more staff and students sampled the chips, we got positive feedback. Four students actually came back and asked for a bag of kale chips to take home. It makes me so happy when people actually enjoy eating healthy food!


The staff and students also sampled a green smoothie made with fruit and romaine lettuce. Most people were surprised at how fruity and sweet they tasted. The samples were gone very quickly so I guess that's a good sign. We'll see what happens when the smoothies are actually for sale!

Other tasty menu items included lemon grass chicken with rice and stir-fried vegetables, roast beef dinner with smashed potatoes, caesar salad with homemade dressing, yogurt parfaits with fresh berries and quinoa granola. Mmmmm.


So, another successful week. Until next time...
