Chef Sucks would be one title, if I didn't love him so much, and if he weren't such a good chef.

When Ricky found out the church's food pantry was running low, he went to work. (Our church has a commercial freezer intended to hold home-made meals for people who are ill, recovering from an accident, grieving, or otherwise in need of a quick and easy reheatable meal.)

Our normally busy Italian Kitchen became a super-busy Super-Tuscan Commercial Kitchen. Meals were debated, recipes were tested, storage and re-heating options were explored. A trip to Kamei Restuarant Supply (bow worshipfully, please) was undertaken, with pomp, circumstance and success.

Finally, everything was assembled and a large quantity of new potatoes, pureed dill carrots and home-made Italian Meatloaf (Aunt Ida Large's recipe, I believe) were created. For our vegetarian friends, this is not the meal for you -- however, the delicious carrots are veganific.

The final steps were the creation of full-cover packaging, including digital photos of the finished meal, a USDA-approved ingredient list and the all-important re-heating instructions. The finishing touch? Richard with a straw in the freezer-lock baggie, sucking out all the air to create a vacuum that protects the food from icy freezer burn.

I'm maried to a genius, but we knew that.
Kitchen Paoli strikes again.
