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!

Holiday Dinners at Ferris Hills

Elbow Dinners

Every year we gather small sections of the community (we call them 'Elbows') and host a special holiday dinner.  Each elbow has their private night of celebration in Rayburn Hall.  Our Chefs go all out designing their menu and the halls are decked for the occasion.  It is a special gathering of neighbors and friends.  We cherish these moments. These pictures invoke for me a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson....."Behold our family here assembled.  We thank you for this place in which we dwell, for the love accorded us this day, for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth we give thanks."
