    Sounds like you've made a good decision as to taking care of the
    contents of the freezers and fridge. We should probably make some sort
    of the same decisions about our stores of spices and suchlike, then
    leave a note for our daughters to that effect.

    If your church has a group that does food for events you could send
    the bulk of the common stuff to them and the "specials" to the girls.

    We don't have the storage capability at the church for long term stuff. When we do an event (like back to school breakfast tomorrow), it's pot luck; I made fig/oatmeal muffins. Anytime we have something brought in, it's simple, like bagels or pizza. Our girls would have to fly in and couldn't take much back (or ship); we'd probably tell them anything useable, give to the local food bank.

    Different churches have different set-ups. From doing chilli supper fund raisers I know that St. Paul's (Anglican), St. Peter's (Roman), Westminster Presbyterian, Central Baptist, Trinity Lutheran and Temple B'rith Sholom
    all have kitchens that would do a restaurant proud.

    ... Bacon improves all dishes - except maybe chocolate eclairs.

    Hi Dave,

    If your church has a group that does food for events you could send
    the bulk of the common stuff to them and the "specials" to the girls.

    We don't have the storage capability at the church for long term stuff. When we do an event (like back to school breakfast tomorrow), it's pot luck; I made fig/oatmeal muffins. Anytime we have something brought in, it's simple, like bagels or pizza. Our girls would have to fly in and couldn't take much back (or ship); we'd probably tell them anything useable, give to the local food bank.

    Different churches have different set-ups. From doing chilli supper
    fund raisers I know that St. Paul's (Anglican), St. Peter's (Roman), Westminster Presbyterian, Central Baptist, Trinity Lutheran and Temple B'rith Sholom all have kitchens that would do a restaurant proud.

    We have basically a home kitchen set up. One fridge (we donated a bigger
    one than what was there originally), a small microwave, 2 stoves, both donated--one newish (around 2010 model), one older (shows the coils) and
    a standard double sink. New folks, when they took over, cleaned out a
    lot of odds and ends (but still usable) stuff, did keep the set of pots
    we'd donated about 10 years ago.

    Looks good. I try to get an idea of allergies, etc if I'm cooking for a
    group so would have to check for dairy issues with this one. We had a
    family in church at one time who had a child extremely allergic to milk
    and milk products so I had to be careful when cooking, knowing he would
    be eating whatever was being served. Made his day when he was 3 and had
    never eaten ice cream--we made a mango sorbet that he devoured. The look
    of sheer delight on his face--an ice cream that he could eat--was
    priceless!
