The dinner at the Wellspring tonight was chicken curry with rice, followed by sponge flans (with custard) or pancakes (... NOT with custard).
Volunteers: 4. Visitors: 47.
The curry was mostly made from tinned stuff tonight. I'd originally thought of doing chilli con carne (not feeling that imaginative) but, after looking in the crate where they lived, the chilli looked a little low but there were plenty of curries there. In with the tins of chicken curry and some curry sauces went; 4 tins mushrooms, 6 tins carrots, 6 cartons of passata, a 500g bag of red lentils, 3 very large sliced onions (the only fresh thing that went in), some chicken gravy granules and curry powder. 3kg of rice got chucked in the pan to accompany this.
Pudding was a hotch-potch. It's obviously pancake day so one of the other volunteers rustled up some pancakes, which were served with lemon and sugar. Mum had also sent with with sponge flan cases which were filled with raspberry jam and peache or pineapple segments. Custard was the required accompaniment for the flans. It didn't seem quite right to have it with the pancakes.
