Seminary Breakfast

We got up early Tuesday morning (4/2) to make breakfast for the early morning seminary students.  That's like 6 people in the seminary class and 8 missionaries making breakfast.  We left our apartment at 5:25 a.m., picked up the portable grill from the teaching station, picked up a pair of missionary elders and headed up to church.  The photo above shows Sister Takahashi in the back, not sure what she is doing, and the other two are Sister Orth from Brisbane, Australia and Elder Cook from California.  He was in charge of this event so technically we can call him Chef Cook.  They were making the batter for carrot cupcakes.  Recipe was in grams but we didn't have a scale, so we estimated.  It worked out fine as the carrot cupcakes came out delicious.  People say too many cooks spoil the broth.  Well in this case, carrot cupcakes was raised by a village.  I peeled the carrots and chopped strawberries for the pancake toppings.  Sister Lee grated the carrots. Chef Cook and Sister Orth mixed the ingredients.  Then a bunch of missionaries scooped the batter into the cupcake tins.  Assembly line baking worked to perfection.

In this photo, don't remember what Sister Lee is doing.  Elder Ehlert, our zone leader, with his back to us, was in charge of cooking the pancakes.  Not in these photos, Elder Arnold cooked the scrambled eggs.  Anyway, the breakfast was a success.  The seminary students and teachers had a good time, as did we.  Food turned out great.  We had pancakes with strawberries and whip cream toppings, bacon, sausage, carrot cupcakes & scrambled eggs.
