Christine’s Kitchen January 6, 2018 Post Review
Thanks to all who contributed and volunteered. It was a cold day but we still had 50+ guests who came out in the 5 degree weather as their needs seemed to outweigh the discomfort of the cold.
The food as usual was outstanding, as though we were cooking for a family dinner.
Burgers, chicken pot pie, pasta and meatballs, chicken, Indian dish, Caribbean dish, hotdogs, fruit, Italian sausages, baked beans, hot chocolate, coffee, juice , ham slices and much more.
For those who question whether their efforts in the kitchen were appreciated, I am happy to report that feedback from the guests was that it was spectacular. They really appreciate your efforts and quality of food.
Next hosting is 6/2/18 by St Stephens.
