i was awarded the contract to provide the food services for the next three years so i'll be blogging again about the meals we serve throughout the open water season.
we actually started last week but it was very hectic. i have two folks working with me this year so i'm having to rethink how i get things done in the kitchen. also last week we got the rest of the food to fill the shelves in the pantry, the walk-in fridge and the walk-in freezer. we are well stocked and reasddy to cook and bake all manner of tasty dishes. below is a picture of this weeks menu, just click on the picture to enlarge for reading.
i'll be uploading pictures from tonight's supper later. well the week flew by and no pictures! the baked ham was the gift that kept on giving. i brined the ham over the weekend and then marinated it in cider overnight before slow cooking for about five hours. it was very sweet and rich. i saved the larger pieces from the leftovers to thinly slice for the ham melts on thursday. the smaller bits went into the soup, du jour throughout the week. this monday i made green split pea soup with the hambones and the aujus from the roastpan. oh my goodness but the soup was so tasty, rich with gelatin and a subtle smoky flavour. i'll be baking another bone in ham before long. the ribs were put on the menu this week for one of the fellows working for this week only. he loves my barbecue sauce so i knew he would be pleased to see a mess of ribs for dinner.
for now here are the hands of those giving me a hand this season. i'm grateful for their hard work.
Mmm, those vegetables look great. I'm hungry! Keep sending those food shots for those of us who can't join the meals!
