Redying My Onions

Day 12 of 365

Today was our annual Send Hunger Packing fund-raising winners lunch. The department, in the organization I work for, that wrangled the most money and food donations got an amazing Greek themed lunch prepared by us just for them.

I was the Sous Chef to my co-worker Cathy who prepared all the food. We created a huge Greek style meal for 30 people. I spent a good portion of my day readying the onions (thus the picture of the red onion) and preparing vegetables. We rolled dough and packing meat products into things I would never consider, like grape leaves? Who knew? We used herbs like mint in almost everything, carved canoes out of zucchini and put lemon and eggs in the chicken soup, WTF?

When it was all said and done everything tasted amazing and it was a huge success.
