fabrisseI'd like to thank everyone who commented on my last post. I'm going to go ahead and submit my questions and suggestions to them, but I think I'm going to look at one of the other available positions here instead. There's just too much chance of physical or mental harm to me if I go for that one.
I have found out that we may be founding a cooking club starting next month. One of the kids here is very interested in becoming a chef (he's hoping to go to Johnson and Wales), and loves to cook already. Right now, I'm lending him some cookbooks for other regions (his primary culture is Caribbean).
Now, the cooking club is a good idea. However, as is so often the case, the execution will be poor. Money is the cause. The most the club will put toward it is $50.00 per month. There will be five or six kids involved, plus me and a staff member. It is not impossible to feed 8 people on $12.50, but we'll have no staples to call on. The staff person is talking about grilled cheese and tomato soup again.
Admittedly, I'm planning on meals that can be done cheaply. Macaroni and cheese that doesn't come out of a blue box, for example. But I also want to serve a salad with it, if at all possible. Suggestions are welcome.
