QUIT COMPLAINING! You hear?

You've heard the complaints:

"Our church kitchen just isn't big enough"

"We need more cabinet space"

[Picture: This is a CHURCH KITCHEN??? No, it's a Sunday

School room/bodega/everything-room, but for today

it's a "kitchen!" And notice the "board" being used for

coating the chicken breasts - yes! It's the top of a bin!

We're very resourceful!]

"I wish we had nicer tile floors"

[Picture: Well, the tile floor is beautiful in this

"kitchen" for a day!]

"Our stove's getting pretty old and really doesn't look nice."

[Picture: That's our church stove! Nice, huh? And yes, there's a

tank setting off to the side that provides gas for it. Works good.]

"The sinks in the kitchen are too small!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have TWO commercial size sinks in our

church kitchen?"

[Picture: Our sink. It's outside, it's not really a "kitchen" sink,

it's what we call a "lavadero" or "pila". It works great. No hot

water of course, but at least we have water!

We're thankful for that!]

Any more complaints???




Today several of us used this wonderful kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for the workshop

mentioned below. First was breakfast of yogurt, fruit, granola, sweetbread, coffee, tea and

hot chocolate. Later dinner was fried flattened chicken breasts, Russian vegetable salad

which is cooked vegetables smothered in mayo and cream (delicious), rice, frijoles charros

cowboy beans!), tortillas, salsas and jello for dessert. It couldn't have tasted any better

coming from the most modern beautiful kitchen around!

I was privileged to be a part of this group of servant ladies!
