Lots of pines but no springs

Actually there was a little spring that ran along most of the valley once I got in the mountains, but it stopped before I got to the camp.  Got back yesterday afternoon.  It was beautiful, and fun, and exhausting.  Luckily I had help with most of the cooking, or I wouldn't have been able to have any meals completed on time.  The new facilities guy was there and he'd cooked at other camps before so he was a big help.  And several of the faculty members that were there for the retreat helped when they could, mostly for breakfast.  Even then, I was late for dinner the first night and breakfast the next morning.  But the next three meals were ready on time.  Everyone liked the food, even for being late.  A couple of the professors took my name and email to possibly do meals for them later in the semester.

I did run out of food the first night.  I made puttanesca over fettuccini that night.  Luckily there was a large jar of Ragu sauce, so no one went without, they just had to make do with bottled sauce.  I had a lot of leftovers for the other meals.  Brought some of them home for Greg.  I hadn't made several of the recipes before and wanted him to try them.  If anyone needs a great tomato soup, french toast, or quiche recipe, let me know.

There is another retreat in April, so I may be cooking for that one too.  I'll be sure and adjust my recipes though.  The vendor that we receive our supplies from during the summer is having a food show in Albuquerque on Wednesday.  I may drive over Tuesday night after I get off work.  I start back at Chick-fil-a tomorrow.  At least I assume.  I stopped by on Tuesday and the remodeling was suppose to still be on track for the reopening tomorrow.  I didn't drive by today to see.

Had a letter in the mail when I got back saying I didn't get the admissions coordinator job.  God's timing is perfect, so it wasn't the right job.  I noticed there are two other jobs posted on the LCU website, so I'll apply for them this week.
