When I was in college, I worked in food service a couple of days a week.
I started working in the dish room and moved up to grill cook.
For the next few weeks I was on the breakfast shift frying up trays of scrambled eggs and home fries as well as eggs to order as part of the cafeteria line. Then I was asked if I wanted to be kitchen help instead. Another upgrade. Yay.
The purpose of the story is that the cook had his Soul Food Friday.
Charlie was a black guy so all the children thought we were serving authentic Soul Food. Maybe we were, I’ve never had soul food.
In fact we all we did was over cook some hams and chickens and made red beans and rice(with white pepper). Then we made huge pots of refrigerator soup. The walk in cooler was practically emptied into those pots with cabbage and cans of beans and a bottle of hot sauce.
The kids loved it!
In honor of Charlie I made soup today from leftover spaghetti sauce, meatballs, Bush’s Grillin’ Beans, a can of turnip greens and a can of northern white beans. Yum!
