I’m waiting for the last batch of sauce to finish simmering. Tonight I made 10 batches of the wine sauce for the Mission’s Dinner at church. On Friday I will be making 7 dozen roasted pears to go with it. If you are doing the math, that’s dessert for about 100 people. I’m not a gourmet cook by any stretch of the imagination, but I love cooking for the Mission’s dinner for 2 reasons: 1. I get to try and cook foods I normally wouldn’t make and 2. I get to try and make said food for 100+ people. It’s a challenge, it’s a ton of work and it’s hanging out in an outdated kitchen for over 12 hours chatting with friends and having a good time.
