Here at HoneyRock we've almost switched gears completely into "preparing for summer" mode. The snow is gone, the ice has melted, the buds are out on the trees - Spring has sprung here at camp. As every department prepares for camp we turn our attention to the kitchen for today's blog post.
There are 20 people that serve on the kitchen staff team in the summer and they will serve nearly 150,000 meals. The kitchen and dinning hall is a very important place and key to our ministry of service to young people. Every participate spends time in there 3 times a day, or on their wilderness trip eats food packed by the kitchen crew. Dell Ledbetter, our Food Service Manager, runs an excellent food service operation.
Just this week Dell went to a food show in Duluth, MN. Beyond learning about new products and ideas, it is also the place where Dell negotiates pricing and does a lot of ordering of summer food.
Here is a list of some of the things Dell ordered this week for our summer meals. He told me, "this won't get us through the whole summer, but it's a good start."
1000 lbs of breakfast sausage (links & patties)
1125 lbs of bacon
1600 lbs of ground beef
4800 burger patties
2000 lbs of chicken
600 lbs of mozzarella cheese
800 lbs of cheddar cheese
400 lbs of butter
2700 lbs of eggs
300 lbs of sour cream
500 gallons of milk
In case this list worries you - next week Dell orders all the fresh fruit and vegetables!
