Foodies Log: 29/3 - 4/4 2010

The Community Foodies work I do is either feast or famine I can do nothing for weeks then suddenly be facing Foodies fatigue, like this week when I had Foodies obligations 3 days out of the wee.

Date: 29/3
Location: Lutheran Community Care (LCC)
Who: 3 Foodies, 2 participants
Why: Emergency Relief Cooking Class
Hours: 1030-1300 - 2 hours

SB, HC & I ran ER cooking this morning. Audene is away on leave until after Easter but the kitchen has now been permanently booked for our sessions so we will carry on. 2 regulars attendees came to the session. Due to the cancellation of last weeks session there was eggs still to be used and frozen bread to be used so the plan altered slightly.

On the menu: Mini Quiches and Simple Fruitcake.

Again the dessert was using condensed milk, this has to change if Foodies continue to run the project as our aim is to prepare healthy foods and upon looking at the pantry items this is possible.

We ran into a few complications the two recipes needed radically different cooking temperatures but on the positive, instead of us doing the cooking we handed the tasks over to the men and guided them through each step.

Hours: 1030 - 1300 - 2 hours


Date: 31/3
Location: Gilles Plains Primary School
Who: Enfield & Gilles Plains Foodies
Why: Food Safety Training.
Hours: 930-1230 - 3 Hours

Sally & Julie Henderson ran the 1 day course. We did that hand washing exercise with the blue light. Even though I wash according to procedure the light didn't lie, I miss areas of the fingers. The training was 3 hours there was a video shown re food hygiene and a quiz at the end

Date: 1/4 2010
Location: Gilles Plains Primary School
Who: Enfield & Gilles Plains Foodies
Why: Foodies Catch up - PD Topic Vitamins & Minerals
Hours: 930-1330 - 4 hours

Katie & Sally facilitated today's session we discussed vitamins/minerals, their role in the diet, what they are, what is the difference between them, why they are important and what foods they are found in using the food plate model.

The two groups of foodies are going to be joining together a lot more regularly from now.
