Hi Dave,
DD> If your church has a group that does food for events you could send

RH> We don't have the storage capability at the church for long term stuff.
RH> When we do an event (like back to school breakfast tomorrow), it's pot
RH> luck; I made fig/oatmeal muffins. Anytime we have something brought in,
RH> it's simple, like bagels or pizza. Our girls would have to fly in and
RH> couldn't take much back (or ship); we'd probably tell them anything
RH> useable, give to the local food bank.
DD> Different churches have different set-ups. From doing chilli supper

DD> B'rith Sholom all have kitchens that would do a restaurant proud.
We have basically a home kitchen set up. One fridge (we donated a bigger
one than what was there originally), a small microwave, 2 stoves, both
donated--one newish (around 2010 model), one older (shows the coils) and
a standard double sink. New folks, when they took over, cleaned out a
lot of odds and ends (but still usable) stuff, did keep the set of pots
we'd donated about 10 years ago.
Looks good. I try to get an idea of allergies, etc if I'm cooking for a
group so would have to check for dairy issues with this one. We had a
family in church at one time who had a child extremely allergic to milk
and milk products so I had to be careful when cooking, knowing he would
be eating whatever was being served. Made his day when he was 3 and had
never eaten ice cream--we made a mango sorbet that he devoured. The look
of sheer delight on his face--an ice cream that he could eat--was
priceless!
