Is It Better To Volunteer or To Make Lunch For Twenty People?

Oh what a morning. I woke up early, spent the entire morning cooking and have just returned home from dropping lunch off to a crowd of 20 people.

I’m exhausted.

Have I ever tell you I’m on a committee?  Well I am.  And a few months ago the El Presidente of said committee called and asked if I would be joining them today for the annual 8 hour meeting.  “I think I have to work, do you need someone to bring lunch?  How about I drop off lunch instead.”

“Okay, that works.  Thanks Mavis.”

“No problemo.”

SWEET!  Now I don’t have to go.  And besides, making lunch for 20 people will be so much easier than having to sit in a chair for 8 hours and write a bunch of crap down I told myself.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

I think I’m a total idiot because it took me nearly 8 hours to make all the food.

Oh well. Who cares, it’s over. People have been fed, and although my kitchen looks like a bomb went off, I didn’t have to sit in a chair for 8 hours and stare at a wall, or the back of someones head and wonder why they don’t use dandruff shampoo.

So see, it all worked out in the end.

Just in case you were wondering, I made 5 salads.  3 of them were easy peasy and 2 were a little more time-consuming.  Below are pictures of my favorite two.  I’ll write-up the recipes for you a little later because trust me, you’ll want to make them.

Green Bean and Potato Salad

Quinoa Salad

I also  made 4 desserts. Raspberry chocolate cake, chocolate dipped strawberries, brownies and chocolate chip cookies.

Chocolate Raspberry Cake

I suppose once I recover, and clean up the kitchen, I’ll probably post the recipe for this 8 layer chocolate raspberry cake as well.  Or maybe not.  I mean, do you really need another recipe for chocolate cake?

Peace out Girl Scouts, I’m off to take a nap. Stay out of trouble while I’m gone.
