A Interesting Day
March 2nd, 2010 @ 4:57 pm

At Luke’s Place Lockyer today I had the foresight to take some recipe mags, as we were doing cooking today. And what was on the menu was Shepherd’s Pie and also just in case I didn’t have any vegetarian recipes with me the supervisors thought of making a Vegetarian Pie.

But then as I suggested that we make a french vegetarian dish called Ratatouille with Poached Egg which was from a magazine called Good Taste and the coordinator liked the look of it, however though we both agreed that we liked zucchinis better than eggplant: so we then decided to leave the eggplant out, and opted to get four zucchinis instead of two.

Then after we had our list of ingredients the coordinator invited me to go shopping, so I went with some other disabled people who agreed to go too.

And when we got there we then split in two groups, as one group got the ingredients for the Shepherd’s Pie and I found most of the ingredients for the Ratatouille with Poached Egg. And after we brought the food we then returned to Luke’s Place, and the supervisor that was driving suggested that the people that wanted to go to the library could go now. 

Then as I had a couple of books to take back I then went to the library, and when we got back I still helped cook the vegetarian meal by stirring it and when it was ready we then all had our chosen lunch. Also most of the clients went for The Shepherd’s Pie and only one client brought their own lunch.

And I was also surprised that three people elected to have the Vegetarian Pie, but as I told them that I can bring recipes the coordinator and I decided on the Ratatouille with Poached Egg.

Also when I got back from the library a supervisor that stayed behind and helped with the cooking asked me for the recipe for the Ratatouille with Poached Egg so I gave her the recipe. She also told me that if she had known what the vegetarian meal was she would had opted for that instead of the Shepherd’s Pie as she really liked the look of Ratatouille with Poached Egg, and the coordinator told me that she enjoyed eating the vegetarian meal too.

    Hi Liss,

    Just thought you’ll be interested in the Good Taste website. There is quite a few pages of vegetarian meals and here’s the link:

    Hi, the coordinator from Luke’s Place Lockyer asked me if I wanted to do another vegetarian meal? And I said yes.

    So she has told me to look for another recipe. I also heard her say that the idea of cooking lunch has been successful.

    She also told me again that the Ratatouille with Poached Egg was very nice. And I already have another vegetarian recipe picked out, and this recipe is called Baked Layered Vegetable Fritata and it is from a recipe+ magazine.

    Hi, the co-ordinator that is at Luke’s Place Lockyer sat next to me after she had heated up her lunch in the microwave, and she told me that it was the Ratatouille but she had added chicken to it. Also last Tuesday she told me that quite a few people were sorry that they had opted for the shepherds pie when they saw that we were having Ratatouille and Poached Egg.
