      People talk about how we should think of those who are less fortunate than us during the Festive season. But why just now? Why does it have to be assigned to a certain timeframe? Is it guilt? That we are too busy? That we feel extra lucky around Christmas, so it is easier to spot those who aren’t so? That it is more obvious in the holiday period?

Alas, an hour into the session the campus was evacuated due to a power shortage. The evacuation morphed into a two-hour lock-out from the kitchens, so by the time we were able to continue our work there was little over an hour until service. Most definitely not enough time to produce and anglaise sauce and churn it into ice cream! Continue reading →
