Doug:

Below is Andrea's final food service report from the tree chipping project. 

Your comments did not reach her in time to be included but I've posted your note to the committee, so what you said is on the record.  Thanks for taking the time to write.

Clean North will be sending you a cheque for the cost of the propane.  Please thank Wayne for supplying the fuel for the generator.

Comments

- It appeared to me that the baking lasted throughout the day and did not need to be held back.

- The slow cooker seemed to work well and did not burn the chili > as well they had a great cast iron pot that also seemed to reduce burning potential.

- Have some containers available so left overs can be stored - pea soup, buns, margarine, baking donated to soup kitchen

- It looked like everything ran very smoothly. 

Reminder - wash and clean tables at the end.(save some hot water)

               

Food

The following food was prepared for the event

    4 pots of chili  - arriving between 10:00 and 11:00

    1 pot of pea soup (not eaten)

    4 dozen buns

    small tub of margarine (does not harden)

    sugar cubes

    hot chocolate mix

    drink crystals -  make up in a large jug

    baking - arriving throughout the day

    milk -1 half and half , 1 regular milk carton

    tea - provided by Clean North  next year include herbal

    coffee - provided by Don - 15 packets (56g) Tim Horton's coffee

    Coffee Mate - provided by Don

 

Food recommendations for next year. 

- amounts seemed to be adequate except - drink crystals were not used

- Andrea will purchase a sugar dispenser - instead of sugar cubes

- Andrea will look for a chocolate syrup that, according to the Boy Scouts, tastes and mixes much better.

- adding another item like pea soup seemed to be more of a problem, so I don't think I'll bother with this next year.  I think one type of dish is adequate.

- do we need a vegetarian chili?  

 

Also provided by Clean North

- mugs, bowls, cutlery, ladles, wooden spoons, dish rags, J cloths, tea towels, scubbers,

  dish soap

 

Next year

              - look into having jugs of water, jugs for juice (check with Scouts to see if they have jugs

               - donations of propane 

               - label hot water urn

               - label hot chocolate etc... containers

               - make drinking water available

               - provide baking, drinking water and coffee on Saturday
