Super Suppers....

Hello friends...

Charlotte Guffin and I went to Super Suppers today to make some food. Super Suppers (SS from now on) is a place where you go and make meals for your family. Bring them home and put them in the freezer. When you get ready to have a home cooked meal, you pull one out and cook it. Fabulous idea! So Ronnie and I were discussing our SS meals with Charlotte at the beach this summer and she thought she would like to do that. Well, today was the day! We met at the church at 9:45. We head over to Vestavia where SS is located. When we got there I asked Charlotte if she'd like to go see where Rick and Bubba broadcast from. SS is located in the same center as the Rick and Bubba Broadcast Plaza and Teleport. She said OF COURSE! So we go up the stairs. They were doing the closed broadcast feeds (big names for commercials for other radio stations). I took her picture in front of the big window. Then we headed back downstairs to SS.

We walk in the store and we make our selections from the menu. Charlotte signs up for email alerts and we get our aprons. This make her feel very special. Next we go to wash our hands...you know working with food you have to be clean. This is a hilarious story...They have a hand washing area. This includes a sink, foam soap dispenser, foam hand sanitizer dispenser, and paper towel dispenser. So I go over and wash my hands. Charlotte comes over to wash her hands and can't really figure out where the soap is. I say...it is the black one on the right. So she puts her hand under the black dispenser and waits. Waiting for the foam to hit her hand I suppose. So I say...push the button. She says...there is no button. I say...ummm ok push with the palm of your hand so the foam comes out into your fingers. She says OOOHHHHH OK! Then proceeds to wash her hands. Yes I know we have only washed our hands...just wait until we get to the meatloaf!

Now that we have washed our hands, we can start making our food. We picked the Italian sausage and bean Casserole. That was an easy one for her to start with. She did pretty well for her first time. Next we moved to the Baja Burritos. This time all you had to do was measure out everything and put it in a bag. Pretty simple. We moved on the the Taco Meatloaf. This is where it gets dirty... We were measuring and dumping and the next step was to "mix well". I decided to get my hands dirty and get the "mix well" under way. I start mixing with my hands just like you would do at home with a normal meatloaf. This did not sit well with Ms. Charlotte. She mixed some with the spoon and then she said...forget it...I will get my hands dirty too. So she began to mix with her hands. She did NOT like that at all. Good times. Just ask us for more info...

So, now that we are half way through with our preparing, I decide to video Charlotte making her Chicken Pot Pie. Hilarious stuff. Those videos will come as soon as I get them loaded. After the Chicken Pot Pie we finished up with Steak with Mushroom sauce. Paige, the owner of SS, took a

picture with Charlotte and her NEW SS tshirt.
