I'm in charge of cooking all week for VBS. We are cooking for 100 people each day. I have a team of 4-5 women spread out over the week. I planned the menu and a couple of us did the shopping on Saturday. People then volunteered to make some of the recipes needed. Sunday, I did all the cooking at the church. Monday, one lady cooked and sliced the chicken for me, and I cooked the rest at church. Last night, I needed a rice dish that would take a long time to cook, so this lady volunteered to cook it during the day. I gave her the recipe and told her to multiply by 12 and gave her all the ingredients. She brought it to the church a 1/2 hour before we needed to serve it and it was still all crunchy and raw - she didn't use enough liquid! And I was using the oven to cook chicken. We had to add more liquid and microwave batches in small bowls - it was a nightmare! Then she tells me what ingredients she has left, and I'm like - you shouldn't have that left, you should have used it all. Apparently, she filled the pans so full of rice, they were full and she couldn't add enough liquid.
Sweetest lady. She tried. But it made what should have been the easiest night a train wreck.

A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.
It starts at 6 and goes to 8:30. The volunteers normally have to come straight from work with no time for dinner for them or their kids. Plus, many of the kids that come to VBS come from poor people in the area, and this gives us a chance to feed them.
Our vacation bible school has an international theme this year, so we are cooking from a different continent each night.

There is a hot dog and ice cream night the last night.
Our VBS had between 800 to 1200 in attendance. Not counting the workers.

Just assume some things will go wrong. And, that's OK. Everyone tried. Nobody is going to go hungry. But next year, have her pick up a bag of ice instead! lol
