Happy Christmas Eve Morning

We've already fed our first half dozen people of the day. They all went back for fourths though. At that rate, I might actually run out of food.

Bit of a lull. We've had 20 people so far. 8 schizophrenics, 3 bipolars, a nigerian seminarian, and half a dozen teenagers from church. We still have food, which is a miracle after the horde of teenagers. We're expecting some more in about an hour.

Nice, I love chorizo, especially when it's grilled. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/eat.gif[/img] Is this a Church event?

No, we open our house at Thanksgiving and Christmas for those in the community who have no where else to go for the holidays, and generally anyone who wants to come. We get a lot of mentally ill who are estranged from their family. We get widows and widowers. The teens all belong to a single mom from our church.

That is a wonderful thing to do, God bless you guys! I seen where you serve Chorizo, I love Chorizo, but lately it does not love me back! I have this horrible feeling that in another ten years I will be stuck with only bland foods that are mushy in consistency, that old ad that used to say "You are not getting older, You are getting better" they lied!

We get our chorizo from the local latin market run by a couple from El Salvador. They make it fresh every Friday. They bring in a fresh pig, and make sausage, render their own lard, make fresh chicharrones, and even make their own queso fresco. Any meat not used to make sausage is used to make tamales. My husband had one on Tuesday, and is still talking about it. It was practically a religious experience. My Mexican Godmother would probably frown on me hanging out with Salvadorans, but many came here as refugees, so there are a bunch more of them than there are Mexicans. Although, with the drug wars going on there right now, that might change.
