Bread and Fish or Potatoes and Chicken
So lucky me was put on the FHE committee. Please...don't all be jealous at once now. I must admit I never go to FHE so I guess this is my punishment for never going. Plus, because I'm an antisocial nerd it's going to be an adjustment to have a "family" that I entertain once a month (thank goodness it's only once a month that I'm on my own). I was put in 2 weeks ago and then I got an email saying that tonight was going to be their dutch oven dinner and if anyone had any dutch ovens to let them know. Well...in a previous life my dad and I dutched ovened...well....a lot! It was so fun and we were in lots and lots of cook offs so we have lots and lots of ovens. There was already a guy in charge and I didn't want to step on his toes so I said I'd bring the ovens and he can just tell me what to do. In talking to him yesterday I was worried that there wasn't enough food. I am a control freak (it's so bad), but I also hate stepping on people's toes. I talked to the main person in charge and we decided we'd just go buy extra stuff and then just add it in. This way he feels like he did a great job (which he did) and we make sure we have enough food. Today at work they were teasing me how fast and testimony meeting would be "I came to the activity with only 2 bags of chicken and was able to feed 100....it just kept appearing out of no where...it's a miracle" Oh my gosh! I was laughing soooo hard at work! I did tell him that we had more stuff coming and luckily we had just enough food, but my coworkers were cracking me up with that analogy :)
