Bags of Taste went off with a bang yesterday! (Almost literally. I should have been a firefighter.) We had about 35 people attend our first session at St Mary’s; an unprecedented number for a BoT course.
In fact, we were so busy that I only had time to take this one photo. (If you were there and you happened to take any, please email me or join the volunteer group and share them there.)
It was a bit chaotic, I have to admit. Almost everything could have been done better; lots of lessons were learned and next time will go much more smoothly.
I have to say a huge thank you to everyone; the students who stuck with it, the volunteers who winged it while I was (literally) fighting fires and Lay Eng from HQ, who was a calming influence on the whole affair!
It felt like a bit of a disaster, at the time, but I’m assured that we achieved everything we wanted to. Everyone cooked, everyone was fed and all of the practice grocery bags were sold.
We’ll be back next week, cooking French onion soup and Singapore noodles! You’re still welcome to get involved; just drop me a line!
