Well the event was today... and the food was, shall I say ordinary?
Last month was apparantly an abberation (that day they had all protein
- three different people brought chicken). Today the table was a
starch-fest and there were five 'salads' (all either potato or pasta),
bread, two different baked bean dishes (one mixed with vienna sausage
and covered in biscuits so it looked like food...) etc. and only a
small pot of chilli and a tray of supermarket fried chicken for
protein. I'm ashamed to say I added to the starchfest - I ended up
making a pasta salad with canned beans and corn and frozen
broccoli/peppers, and I also made some fresh blueberry muffins because
they were on sale. Most of the salad got eaten but the muffins weren't
needed because a birthday celebration had been organised for a couple
of the church kids and there was icecream and birthday cake.

Next month I swear to you I will make a HUGE bowl of green salad with
lots of yummy vegetables in it, and also something involving whatever
kind of real meat I can get the cheapest that week... probably apricot
chicken or something like that.

The nicest thing on the table was a big bowl of empanadas - the lady
must make them every month.
