Thanksgiving Dinner With the Homeless Shelter

This year for Thanksgiving, I was asked to join a small group of good friends and help cook food for the people who stay in our local homeless shelter. The shelter is actually in a church and is mostly supported by that church’s congregation and private donations. Every year they have a free Thanksgiving dinner for anyone who needs a good meal.

We will have to report for duty around 7:00 tomorrow morning to start cooking everything. The church has a nice commercial kitchen and a fellowship hall big enough to seat about 120 people. I have never cooked for a large crowd before, so I am a little apprehensive about this, but I like the idea of doing something good for other people not as fortunate as I have been.

Craving Catfish

One thing that I do not cook at home is fish. I like fish, but I hate the way the whole house smells like fish when you cook it at home. I would much rather order fish from a restaurant. That way if it is not cooked to my liking, I can send it back and get a replacement. If I mess up cooking it myself, it goes in the trash and is wasted and I go hungry.

Tonight I really want to have some catfish for dinner. I might go to Uncle Buds and get an order to go. But if someone wants to go with me, give me a shout and we can eat catfish there and maybe split a dessert.
