Tuesday 30th September
Report written by Gill (She/her)
Tuesday night is FoodCycle Night and once again a bevy of GoodGymers were there to ensure things ran smoothly. Gill and Lucie were in the cooking team and after getting everything want up were rather alarmed by the lack of food provided by the supermarkets. We had a lot of swedes but not a lot else to get started on. But after some creative thinking and the arrival of the rest of the kitchen crew a menu started to emerge using up many of our store cupboard items. Gill took the lead on making vegetable stew and dumplings while Lucie masterminded the tastiest wedges and cream cheese dip for a starter, and for dessert the others in the team made rice pudding (who knew you could make rice pudding with sushi rice?) with caramelised bananas. Sam arrived at 5 and was a whizz at keeping the pots washed and tidying up after us, and Neill joined the hosting team - being the host with the most he ensured our guests were given hot drinks on arrival and served their food restaurant style . Sam and Neill stayed on to clean up the hall and kitchen and leave everything in pristine condition. It was another great team effort and many of our guests gave were really appreciative.
FoodCycle use food that would otherwise go to waste and put on a free social dinner for anyone who wants to come along, whether hungry or lonely, they welcome everyone to come for dinner and meet other people
