We're back!

After having to cancel last week's meal due to inclement weather and experiencing even more wintery precipitation this week, I think it's safe to say that Spring is a little confused. I'm beginning to think Groundhog Day might be a hoax and that groundhogs can't actually predict the weather.....

Regardless, we're happy to be back after our time off from Community Harvest! This week we served beef stroganoff with noodles, peaches, and salad. Ben and Lynn clearly enjoyed themselves as they prepared the meat for the stroganoff. As you can see in the picture below, Ben was actually shocked at how much fun he was having, preparing for the weekly meals (this is a normal response among the newcomers).

And remember how we were chosen as the service project by a company from Management 101? Well, they provided us with a small army of volunteers for this week's meal, and as we are all well aware at Community Harvest, many hands make light work. We were happy to have them assisting us with pantry inventory, serving the meal, and cleaning up. 

And last, but certainly not least, I am thrilled to announce that the GIRL SCOUT COOKIES HAVE ARRIVED! This time of year may be my favorite (even if it is snowing far past winter's allotted snow time frame) because the girl scouts have once again donated a generous amount of cookies our way. And who doesn't like girl scout cookies?! Needless to say, our dessert table will be stacked for the next few weeks. 

But don't get me wrong. We recognize the importance of balanced meals at Community Harvest. You may not find lettuce on the dessert table, but if you pop on over to our donations table, the salad is abundant!

And with that, I would like to thank our friends from Management 101 for deeming us worthy of their volunteer efforts this semester and also the girl scouts for making sure we never have to experience a day without a cookie. :)
