For Times Like These...Cook for A Night, Eat For A Week

"We may live without poetry, music, and art;
We may live without conscience and live without heart,
We may live without friends, we may live without book,
But civilized man cannot live without cooks." Author Unknown

And that is the key- civilized man cannot live without cooks. Cooking is a priviledge and yes it takes effort. It takes effort to get to work in the morning, but then there are rewards. Yesterday, our church"team" of cooks pulled off an amazing luncheon for our newlywed couple. The men made home-made bbq. We had all different kinds of fresh fruit and vegetable salads. To make an extra special salad. I sliced the lettuce on a diagonal and chopped up celery, purple onions, peppers, green onions, cucumbers(cut the seeds out), Trader Joe's chopped up veges, and plenty of delicious Hanover tomatoes. And then the home-made varieties of fruit cobblers and apple crisps followed by Jenny McCoys beautiful wedding cake- 3 layers- 3 flavors(coconut, vanilla almond, and lemon). It was memorable. September is coming- back to school. And why not get organized and start recruiting a team who is interested in cooking for a night and having enough to eat for the week. We want our government to cut back on it's debt; how about saving big bucks by joining a team of cooks? Yes we can do this!
