No post last week. I had a bit of a collision on the way to the Wellspring and was a tad upset so they told me to go home. But I was back in their kitchen this week. Not that much needed cooking; tis the party season and excesses of food lead to big donations to the Wellspring.
The intention with mains was that we had chicken curry with rice. I was in full swing with the chicken curry and stumbled across some fresh chicken breasts in the fridge! Trust me, that doesn't happen often, so I took advantage and chucked them in. Over the course of the afternoon, donations from about 3 different parties turned up and so instead of rice with the curry, the visitors got pizza (5 huge ones were donated), sandwiches (2 massive buffet trays came in and needed using) and a load of random buffet-style snacks.
For puds, my mum had sent me with 5 ready-made sponge flan cases. However, more donations meant that those were left for another day (sealed pack, longer shelf life; seemed to make sense) in favour of several cakes that had been donated. The choice included lemon drizzle, apple, yule log and carrot and walnut cakes. But no pudding (except rice pudding) at the Wellspring can be served without instant custard. So guess what came with the cakes? Yep... instant custard. There was also fresh fruit up for grabs that had come in with one lot of donations
Again, I don't know how many people came in to eat because I left early. We had another influx of volunteers tonight so my services at pot wash weren't needed. However, the volunteers did also get a Christmas treat from me in the form of gingerbread Christmas trees.
