6th Grade

Wednesday, April 13:  To avoid confusion or disappointment, there will be no Lenten Meal tomorrow.  With testing, a competing 8th grade feast, and some other factors, it just isn't workable.  It has been a great experience this year, with many delicious new treats from around that word.

Help Wanted

Catholic Relief Services Simple Lenten Meals

I am specifically looking for some cooking help this week.  As you know, our DFE team will be here this week.  I will not have time to cook for Thursday’s lunch.  About 25-30 students come for this lunch and they are quite enthusiastic.   We have had 3 delicious and easy meals so far—a beans and rice dish from Haiti, a sour soup from Indonesia, and a stew from Senegal.

As luck would have it, this week’s recipe, a soup with corn cakes from Honduras, is a bit more labor intensive.  Buy it can easily be divided into two jobs.  The recipes are on a sheet that your student received at the beginning of lent, and they can be found at the Catholic Relief Services website.

My request is for help from four parents, two to make corn cakes (each to double the recipe provided) and two to make the soup (each to double the recipe provided).  I think this will make the task much less cumbersome. I would ask that the soup be delivered in a crock pot (mine can be used by one) and the corn cakes in a microwavable container.

I would like to extend my special thanks to parent chefs to date: Regelbrugge, Jerakis, Gately, Lowenkron. All have been huge hits!!  And thanks, as well, to Mrs. Farrar, who made a generous financial contribution to keep us in disposable bowls and cutlery for the duration of Lent. 

I have set up a sheet for this on Signupgenius.com.  To get to our page, enter my email address, nmcbride@blessedsacramentcc.org; the password is “Lenten.”  But feel free to just respond to me directly. 

Thank you, as always, for your help!
