I have been cooking for the
teachers at my child's school during conference time. There are 100 of
them! The teachers have no time to go out and get anything to eat so I
volunteered to bring in some dishes to share. That was 4 years ago! My
last child is moving on to middle school and in March I will serve my
last conference meals. To give you an example of the magnitude of this
job, I start serving meals at 3:00pm on the first night of
conferences. The next day I serve them breakfast at 7:00am, lunch at
noon (a huge sit down affair in the gym) and another dinner at around
4:00. I do not get paid or reimbursed for this. I have had a few moms
bring in a casserole to share but unfortunately I haven't had much
reliable help.
Your freezer manual has helped me immensely. I just found it while I
was looking for an easier way (and hopefully less expensive) to serve
all these meals. Thanks to your wonderful ideas I already have several
items frozen and have planned my menus/shopping day/and cooking day. I
think it is going to go much smoother this time and not so much last
minute cooking! Thank you so much for your book!
I don't want to sign off without saying how I have enjoyed doing this
for these teachers. No, I am not a Martha Stewart type and love to
cook nor am I all that great at it, But I love doing this for the
teachers who so loving give each and every day their patience and
guidance. I feel blessed my children have gone to this school and
these meals are such a small thing compared to what they have given on
a daily basis.
