Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

So, I'm telling tails out of school.  Our residents often get chatting in the living room about ideas for our socials.  One of our residents thought it might be fun to do unusual food pairings.  They didn't expect us to actually follow through.  When our Program Manager came into the living room with a bag of Baby Ruth Bars and a squeeze bottle of mustard they were astounded!  I came on the scene late wondering what they were all laughing about.  Everyone was giving it a go and enjoying the strange combination of sweet and spicy.  That was just the beginning.  Our Nurse Coordinator said, "game on" and she proposed the following week that we try pickle and peanut butter sandwiches!  The next week our Case Manager suggested doritos and ice cream!  Today, before our happy hour Melissa served up ice cream with wine and fruit!  Rave reviews all around the room!

The Senior Signers present a holiday program!

The Senior Signers present a holiday program!

Jody Wilbur and her "Senior Signers"; her ASL language students, performed a beautiful Christmas program this week.  Residents worked very hard for many weeks learning to sign Christmas songs.  The show kicked off with an upbeat version of Jingle Bells, sung by The Drifters. The next two numbers, they were accompanied by our Music Therapist, Katherine McGraff.  She played her guitar and sang The First Noel and Silent Night.  There may not have been too many dry eyes in the audience after the finale.  A resident had suggested learning the sign language for "Mary Did you Know?" and Jody found a powerful rendition of this song sung by CeeLo Green.  We are so very proud of our Senior Signers as they portrayed this beautiful song for the holiday season.  Thank you Jody and all of our resident signers!
