ON THE MENU: GOULASH
35 pounds of ground beef
24 cans of sweet corn
18 cans of cream of mushroom
Spoons full of minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
Needless to say, help trickled in after 45 minutes of cooking. A big THANK YOU goes out to Joshua A., Sharie Q., Roxanne V. and nephew. Cans quickly openning and dumped into pots, it took another hour to finish!
Five minutes to serving time and they just left the church. Apparently there was traffic on the freeway which helped them be even later than anticipated. The people waited patiently for their arrival. With more hands to serve than usual, the lines zipped by and they came back for seconds, thirds, and fourths! It was a good thing they brought unopened cans of sweet corn and cream of mushroom to spread it out as much as possible.
Many compliments to the chefs:
"I've had this many times before, but this is the best I've ever had... Thank you!"
It was a fun experience, a first for some. It has been a long time since our ministry cooked the meal themselves. We will be more prepared next time...
Stay tuned for next month's mission [no pun intended]
