Senior Project May 10

 May 10, 8:45 PM

This morning at 8:30 AM we went to a local farm to get salad greens. When we got there we bought six pounds of greens which should last us until the end of the week. When we got back we started prep work to make vegan stirfry around 9:45 AM. After cutting up all our ingredients we began cooking at 11:45 and finished around 12:45 for lunch. After lunch, we packed up our food and took it to spectrum, for a 4:00PM delivery. Once we got there we packaged up the food into individual serving sizes, washed dishes, and put away extra food. Then for about an hour we hung around the community space and go to know some of the youth we are serving. 

Time Spent today- 6 Hours 

Total Project time- 16 1/2 hours

 Thursday May 19, 6:30 PM  This morning we went grocery shopping to get a few fresh ingredients for our meal. Today, we made vegan chili Mac, although we don't have to cook exclusively vegan we had all the ingredients and decided to use them. This recipe included Tempah which is a vegan meat substitute I have never used before. We were skeptical at first but once it was incorporated into the meal it was pretty good! We got a request for cookies yesterday, so today we made brownies with cookie dough and Oreos. As well as a cumin bean salad with black beans and chickpeas. We took it to Spectrum, heated it up, and served dinner. It was a pretty slow night due to the rain in Burlington so we played an intense game of headbands with the youth as we waited for people to trickle in for dinner. After everyone had eaten, we cleaned up and it was time to go.  Total Time Spent Today- 7 hours Total Project Time- 58 hours

 Monday May 23, 9:45 PM Today was our last day at Spectrum. Per request we made tacos, so we spent the morning prepping veggies. We brought in all the toppings and set them out in the kitchen to walk through individually with people so they could decide what they want. Today, we also brought in all of our leftover spices, produce, and any excess transport containers for Spectrum to use in the future. After raising money for this project one of my biggest concerns is that we would not have enough to provide the amount and type of food we wanted. Now, it is our last day we have enough leftover money to give a donation to Spectrum. It was such a great experience to help these kids and provide meals these past few weeks.  Time Spent Today- 7 hours  Total Project Time- 76 hours

 Sunday May 23 On the weekends we do not make meals for Spectrum. On Sunday we usually do prep for the week and decide what we are making. Today we went to the grocery store and bought all the ingredients for the tacos that the youth requested for our last meal. We also decided to make a cake for Monday so we will have less to do. We made a vanilla cake with vanilla icing and strawberries. The cake fell into a lot of pieces when we were transferring it but after a lot of icing and berries it turned out pretty well!  Time Spent Today- 4 hours Total project time- 69 hours
