Week Two Cooks

I thought I'd post a picture of my cooks from the Forest Cliff Camp kitchen, week two. We had a lot of fun in the kitchen this week... you never really knew what was going to happen next!

Thank you for praying for those of us in the kitchen this week. It's a lot of work and it was really hot in there this past week, and I praise God for His protection and for keeping us all hydrated and safe. Please continue to pray for me and everything that goes on in the kitchen and at camp this summer. God is doing great and wonderful things!

Dinner Time!

This year, at Forest Cliff Camp, we have a brand new dining complex. The dining room is built to comfortably seat 300 people, but I'm sure we could easily fit more than that in there. It's about three times the size of our old dining hall and the new kitchen is definitely way bigger than the old one too!

Meal times are always full of activity, but so far everything's gone smoothly and the kids are getting fed. I've had fun making all the old camp food again, and of course, I especially enjoy making the desserts!

Speaking of dessert, who needs a spoon?

They're Out!

After almost four weeks, I decided it was time to take my extensions out of my hair. Since it had taken so long to get them in, I decided to have the kitchen crew kids from camp help me get them out. Of course they were more than happy to help me with this, and as I sat on a chair, nine of them surrounded me, each with a braid as they unraveled my hair. It was good teamwork, and we all had a lot of fun talking and bonding in our circle of friends!

Week two is already promising to be a lot of fun. The kitchen crew kids sure do like eating all the chocolate pudding out of the big mixing bowl!
This is a picture of CrabMan licking the bowl.
We all have camp names, here at camp.... so no, CrabMan is not his real name.....

Tomorrow is cinnamon bun breakfast... always a favorite around here. :o)

This is a picture of me with my parents and my brother, Ian. I had them help me get the cinnamon buns onto the trays, so they could stay in the fridge overnight.

Maybe if you come out to camp, you can help me prepare cinnamon buns in the kitchen! lol!

Camp - Week One

Week one of Forest Cliff Camp was a blurr of activity. We have a new kitchen and dining hall this year, so it's been a lot of fun getting adjusted to my new surroundings. I'm praising God for our new ovens and even a convection oven! Yay! Now a lot of our baking times are cut in half, which is good cuz our numbers have almost doubled this year. We're no longer cooking for 250 people, but for 325.

Anyways, we had an amazing time in the kitchen last week. It was a lot of work to get it all started, but once we got going, everything just rolled along! Praise God for safety and for lots of physical strength! We couldn't have done it without Him!
