Tonight at Foodcycle we had 4 Goodgymers across 3 functions supporting the team to feed people from the High town community. Gill collected 2 car loads of produce from 2 local supermarkets, and delivered it to the team so we could start to brainstorm for this evenings menu. In amongst the haul, there were quite a few eggs 🥚 so be prepared for some shameless egg puns in this report. Gill had to head off after dropping in with the stash of goodies, I think she may need a rest as she looked eggs-hausted. Mayra and Myself were helping in the kitchen and we worked with the rest of tge team to make a 3 course meal for our guests. It was all very egg-citing as we started to chat about what to make. For starters it was decided we'd make baked eggs on avocado 🥑 toast. Quite egg-stravagant but it came out well and looked eggs-quisite when served up. The main was a vegetable hotpot with steamed green beans and mange tout which looked great when it come out of the oven and smelt 'cracking' and apparently tasted eggs-traordinary too . Dessert was a take on a Fruit crumble, using Mr Kiplings almond slices to top the stewed fruit and it was served with yoghurt coated grapes 🍇, the meal was success and everyone appeared to enjoy the feast. The team was joined for the first time this evening by Corinne, who was helping the hosting team. She served food and chatted with the 35 (or so) guests that attended and i'm sure her eggs-ceedingly infectious smile helped to make the evening go well. Welcome to the team Corinne and we look forward to welcoming you to your next task. There were some flowers 💐 left at the end so I 'poached' some to give to my wife, I didn't tell her that I hadn't had to 'shell out for them'.
I think its fair to say it was a tough shift and I know my head was 'scrambled' but it was good to be a part of the team for another fun session.
No more yolks, i'm fried
Well done team
