I had a great conversation with Amie from the NY Coalition for Healthy School Food the other day about my program and work we might do in the f
uture. My current kitchen is, well, not up to my standards and we have a long list of issues with it. It's a little embarrassing for me to have guests come into our kitchen when:
- we have no ovens
- our sinks run only cold water & we have to go into the next room to wash dishes well
- All of our equipment is electrical and we keep blowing switches all over the room.
- most everything that we are doing is done with home equipment
That said, the kids are amazing. They:
- work beautifully together
- eat up any skills that I can teach them so quickly, it is hard to plan for (this is a very good problem for me, actually)
- have an excitement for food and learning that has surpassed anything I might have hoped for. I hope that I can deliver more for them.
Amie's comment on this was simple & very supportive. She said that anyone visiting will understand that you are just a teacher that loves food trying to do the best for his kids with what he has. They walk into a lot of situations like this, she said, and the programs still work beautifully.
