Over the course of the last two months the Retirement kitchen has been making a substantial amount of deserts in house. We hope you have been enjoying them, as much as we have enjoyed preparing them for you. In November we will be celebrating National Doughnut Day, enjoying a smoothie bar as well as a Wine & Cheese tasting and a Chili cook-off! Please join us on Tuesday’s at 3 pm in the café and Thursday’s at 10 am in Thames. “Culinary Quote of the Month” Anything is good if it’s made of Chocolate. Jo Brand Anna Prendergast Director of Dietary Services & Chris Zouzal Retirement Dietary Supervisor November 2015 2014 Ai DID YOU KNOW: The symbol of the poppy is derived from, “In Flanders Fields”, a poem by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John Mc. Crae- but the custom of wearing a symbolic poppy came from Moina Michael, a YMCA worker who was inspired by the poem and made a personal pledge to wear the red poppy as a sign of remembrance and for “Keeping the faith with all who died”. From Administration Just a friendly reminder that tea/coffee and snacks are for the residents only. Unfortunately we cannot offer or accommodate serving these items to family or visitors.
