Sunday kitchen duty

This is what I was up to on Sunday:   it was my turn to cook the noon meal for the community (30 in number).   My cooking partner is laid up with a bum knee so I got creative with my menu and planned for dishes that I could prepare ahead!    Baked spaghetti is a community favorite.    But one just does not make one dish of the main course...we also provide (and gladly I'd add)  vegetarian and gluten free options.    Then on to the dessert...it was the course that merited a photo:

Peaches and Cream Torte (gluten free)

Peaches and Cream Torte (regular)

This was an absolute delight to make and sooooooo easy.  And of course there were also sugar free and gluten free options.   Let me know if you want the recipe.   It is a perfect light summer dessert.

So now I am back in the soap shop.   Sr. Judy is cutting soap as I write.    I am hoping to be able to upload photos to our Monastery Creations website of  our new Liquid Soap.    It is lucious and so easy to use with it's purple foamer top.   Have a great day everyone and enjoy your summer.
