Hello all -
I just realized it's been a while since I've updated - a whole week! Hahaha. I've been really busy - swamped with work. I only led the kitchen twice this week, which was nice, because the other days I could follow the lead's directions and relax a bit. The first shift I led this week was Wednesday - chicken and eggplant parmesan night. Everyone worked so hard! We were finished with work before Vespers, which normally never happens. Thursday morning I led again, which was an easy breakfast shift - scrambled eggs and spinach.
Today I made Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread, my favorite fall sweetbread, for 300 people. That took up the majority of my morning - making both that, and the gluten-free version. It's tradition here at Holden to have a sweetbread every Sunday morning, so I decided to whip it up.
In other news, Chalet 5's final housemate arrived today! Her name's Sally, a long-term, year-long Garbology head, in charge of the whole garbology program here at Holden. I haven't met her yet, as I was out when she arrived, but I'm looking forward to meeting her later today! From what I've heard, she's a fun person, and I'm sure she'll add a great deal of hilarity to our already great group of Chal. 5'ers!
In even more news! It finally rained last night. And stormed. And thundered. And there was even some lightening, for the first time since I've been in-Village. It was nice - I sat outside and watched as the mountains became clouded over and rain poured down on the tin roofs and buildings.
Anyway. Just thought I'd fill you all in on how my week went! Crazy hectic! But good; always good. Holden has been nothing but great, and I'm not even 2 months in yet! :)
