Dear Nanci,
I just wanted to share with you about a friend of
mine that used freezer cooking to do a good deed
for me. In anticipation of starting Graduate
School and being very busy, I purchased the 30 Day
Gourmet Cookbook several months ago and invited
several friends to join me in freezer cooking. All
of us are busy moms with young children.
For our first Cooking Day we divided into two
groups of three and had a wonderful time cooking
together and stocking our freezers. About a month
later, as our freezers were beginning to get
empty, I was in full swing at Graduate School,
spending many hours in the library doing research
for my thesis and feeling very overwhelmed with
trying to juggle full-time school and family. I
was trying to plan a cooking day with my friends
again but was really having a tough time coming up
with a full day that we could get together because
of my school schedule.
Sharon, one of my good friends, decided to
surprise me and planned a cooking day on her own
and made 30 days of meals for us both!! She
contacted my husband and stocked my freezer with
all of the meals one day while I was at school. My
husband called me to tell me about it and I broke
down crying in the University Library - what a
great gift and a wonderful friend! Those meals
have taken us to the end of the semester and
Sharon and I are planning our next cooking day
during the Christmas Break to get me started for
the next semester.
I thank God for good friends, like Sharon, and for
30 Day Gourmet... They are really helping me get
through Graduate School with my sanity intact!!
Sincerely,
Gena L.
