The 3 C's of Community Harvest

This week, I am going to elaborate on the 3 C's of Community Harvest: Cornbread, Chili, and Cobbler. It is rare for all 3 C's to make an appearance in any given week at Community Harvest, but when they do, the joy is unmistakable.

1. Cornbread
The process of making delicious cornbread requires a combination of skilled mixing and ingenious combinations. Who would have thought mixing canned corn with cornbread mix, water, and butter would have such a desirable effect? That's where the brains behind the ingenious combinations came in handy (which I take no credit for). As far as skilled mixing goes, Carly and I were eager to lend a hand.


And the result? Pure, corny paradise.


 2. Chili
I spoke a little of ingenious combinations when I discussed cornbread. But chili, my friends, takes ingenious mixing to a whole other level. This week's chili was a blend of veggies, beans, and meat, cooked to perfection in a Community-Harvest-sized stew pot.


 3. Cobbler
Last, and most certainly not least, we have our infamous street cobbler. We have a rule of "no cobbler left behind" at Community Harvest and trust me, it's no tough bargain. But, the process of peeling apples and spreading cherries underneath of layer of sugary, buscuity goodness is not always an easy task. However, this week Liz stepped up on cobbler duty and did a great job!



And of course the most important C, which I have not yet mentioned, is Community. We couldn't make it happen without our wonderful volunteers and our hungry dinner guests, all with smiling faces. Thanks to the Bucknell Tour Guides for lending plenty of helping hands our way this week!
