Day 1 - Cathy Likes Cookies

We arrived at the compound mid-day. The advance team had setup the kitchen and prepared some food for lunch. That left dinner. We made spaghetti. Keep in mind most of the ingredients are institutional. We took many jars of Prego sauce and doctored it up. The clinic is at 8000 feet, it took a while to boil the water for the pasta. We cracked 3 (or was it 4) large juice pitchers full of eggs for breakfast the next day and prepared sack lunches for the construction team  leaving in the morning. 

Arriving at the Compound

Pringles Plaza, our outdoor dining area

Dessert was Chocolate Chip cookies. The team leader asked who can bake? I bake. Great we need dessert, bake enough cookies for 110 people to have a couple with dinner plus we need to send some out with the construction crew. I believe I made around 20 dozen. Half with nuts and half without. Or this may have been the day that brownies were made. We used industrial size Ghiradelli brownie mixes. Anyway it was a lot of both.
