The culinary delights tonight were chilli con carne with rice and bread (every main meal is served with bread... don’t ask me why) and pineapple upside-down cake with custard, or fruit salad for the latecomers
Total number fed: 48
Chilli con carne contents; 1 monster brown onion (chopped), approx. 8 tins tomatoes, 8 tins chilli con carne or minced steak, several miscellaneous jars of pasta sauce, red kidney beans, sweetcorn, carrots, peas, a little chilli powder, and instant beef gravy granules to thicken
3kg long grain rice
... And I lost track of the amount of bread. It filled two trays; that’s all I needed to know.
Pineapple upside-down cake contents: golden syrup or honey to coat the bottom of the tin, 1 ½ large tins pineapple, 1kg caster sugar, 1 kg Stork (bought by me), 1 kg self-raising flour (donated by my parents), 12 eggs (donated by my parents)
Instant custard: ... custard powder and boiling water. A Wellspring staple, served with every pudding, regardless of whether it really needs custard or not
Oh, and plenty of biscuits, tea and coffee. Another Wellspring staple
48 fed, washing up done... and we’re already looking around the store room to come up with ideas for next week
