EXPOSED! ABM Ministries Cooking!
Thursday, June 9th, 2011
At ABM Ministries we are always surprised with something new to eat. On this particular night, Mr. Larry thought that it would be a good idea to make egg rolls for supper. This was something that I have never participated in, and it was an unforgettable experience.
Going into the kitchen to make the egg rolls, I was thinking, "How hard could it be?" Man, was I wrong. First, we had to get all of the fillings together, which was rather easy. Then came the job of actually rolling the egg rolls, this was going to be harder than I thought. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get these egg rolls to roll properly. I would start rolling them and the wrapping would burst, or I would not roll it the right way, it was just always something. I was getting seriously frustrated. On the other hand, Mr. Larry and the other students in the kitchen thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Finally, Mr. Larry had to take over because if I had continued we would not have been eating egg rolls that night. After rolling the egg rolls we had to stick them into the fryer where they were finished.
Making these egg rolls was not the best part of the night. That honor would have to go to eating the egg rolls. They were amazing. We had so many left over that we could not finish all of them. Needless to say, we did not want to do anything after supper except go to bed.
This night was a night that will always be remembered by the students here at ABM Ministries. We got to experience the joy of making something that allowed people to be at ease and we took pride in that. I just hope that we can do this again sometime.
