Back from Spring Break!

After a wonderful week of Spring Break, we’re back at Community Harvest!  And man, is it good to be back.  The ever-surprising (and delightful!) variety of music from 102.7 is setting the mood in the kitchen and food prep is underway.  On the menu is Haddock, which has been patiently awaiting its debut down in the freezer.  The fish is accompanied by spinach and cheese mashed potatoes, fresh salad, and peaches.  And for dessert, Stacey’s famous cobbler will get the peeled and sliced apples out of storage.  The freezer will be a lonely place after this meal…but, as always, not for long!  After spending some time preparing the food, we are all feeling the heat, but it’s nothing a few minutes in the cool breeze outside the kitchen can’t fix!

It’s not long before some of our regular friends make their way into the kitchen.  Mark and Bridget are eager to share how many bags they filled at the store today, while Eddie shows off his great bowling scores.  Helen welcomed me back with a Wal-Mart lanyard and a milk chocolate Easter bunny.  And I just remembered that I never saw my milk chocolate bunny again after letting Mark have a look at it – I blame myself.

Delta Gamma sorority sent a few members to help serve food, Phi Psi picked up cleaning duty (giving me an excuse to avoid drying dishes), and Kim stuck around to help fold up tables.  It’s amazing how quickly we fall right back into the groove of things.  I can’t imagine doing anything else with my Mondays!
