Last week, Don and I offered to bring food for our after-church fellowship. We, um, went a little overboard. Don made homemade sourdough bread and a fabulous soup (creamy Italian sausage and Parmesan, which simmered all night). I made blueberry tarts, and some homemade Caesar dressing to go along with the huge amount of raw veggies I cut up. We worked all day long on Saturday to prepare. This is what we ended up bringing to church, including the ingredients necessary to add to the soup last-minute.
Essentially we made enough food to feed 40 people. "Next time," Don remarked, "slap me if I suggest getting this fancy." We agreed that a salami-and-cheese tray would have been just as welcomed.
Everyone raved about the spread, but we have to remind ourselves this is supposed to just be a snack to tide everyone over until after the Bible study ... not to provide enough food for a feast.
Looks yummy! Would you consider posting Don's soup recipe? Thanks!

I'm sure the love you and Don put into the food you prepared made your brothers and sisters feel blessed and cherished.
ReplyDeleteWith food, always better too much than not enough.
ReplyDeleteLeftovers make a good meal also.
You have set the bar high when they ask you again.
ReplyDeleteI think this is generosity that is completely appropriate when serving others. :)
