Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

KristenMeyer 0 6705

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!

Life-long Learning at Ferris Hills

John & Dolores Granito, active members of the Ferris Hills community

The erudite population at Ferris Hills consists of life-long learners and educators. They do this with so much style and fun. 

John and Dolores Granito have been here about a year and have jumped right into life in a vibrant senior community.  Together, they have shared with us their wedding anniversary, celebrating 60 years.  We all enjoyed seeing pictures of them in their younger years and hearing their love story.  We imbibed with champagne, wine, and a celebratory cake.  Cheers to the happy couple!  Sharing these life events brings us all closer together.

They also helped plan a themed event honoring the history of the Titanic with a lecture followed by an evening in the dining room enjoying food selected from an authentic menu found on the Titanic. 

Today, John, with the assistance of his wife (the power point aficionado), presented “Whatever Happened to Amelia Earhart?” America’s longest running mystery question and conspiracy theory 1937 – Today.

It was a packed house for John’s presentation.  He had an interesting timeline of Amelia’s life along with a list of key persons related to Amelia’s desire to circumvent the globe.  He set the stage for conspiracy theories and thoughtful historical recollection.  The plot thickens as we await Part 2 coming this Thursday.
