1 Accordion, 51 Guests and a Dozen Packages

Tonight was extra special:  our regular Chinese guests wanted to thank the staff and volunteers of LET for our efforts.  One guest played “You Are My Sunshine” on his accordion and everyone sang along.  Each volunteer was then presented with little gifts.
​It was a very nice, thoughtful gesture.

We served 51 guests a delicious meal prepared by students in Minuteman Technical High School’s culinary arts program. Sliced ham with raisin sauce, mashed potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, and blueberry pie were accompanied by a six bean salad using red, pink, black, green, white and garbanzo beans offered by the food pantry. The salad was garnished with celery, red onion, parsley, salt and pepper, cider vinegar and olive oil.  It turned out nicely and we put a small bowl on each table with the salad.

There were few leftovers at the end of the night, which were scraped into a covered bin for delivery to the pigs at Chip-In Farm. ​

New cloth hats came in and were worn for the first time tonight by kitchen staff. They will be washed each week with the aprons.  

One of our upcoming projects in the works for next year is a cross-generational, cross-cultural cooking collaboration between some of our senior guests and seniors from LHS who are learning Mandarin. Stay tuned – more details to follow! 

If you haven't done so yet, please use the SignUp Genius link to volunteer for early next year.
