Lunch Specials

The highlight of this week is simple: Lunch.  On Tuesday, Theresa treated Marcus and I to take-out from PF Chang’s for two reasons: 1. She lost a bet on a basketball game to Marcus 2. Marcus got a full time job on Monday! He’s been searching since before he started with us, and scored a position as a Business Analyst. 

On Wednesday, I stopped by the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) Supervisor Appreciation Lunch in the gym.  The supervisors and student workers for all the Verb students were invited to a very nice lunch on campus so they could see the school and be thanked for their generosity.  I helped serve the delicious “soul food” meal of fried chicken, mac ‘n cheese, greens, red beans (YUM!) and gourmet dessert.  As a perk, I got a free meal! We also took home two trays of leftovers…one of the many instances of free food scored by the JVs.

On Thursday, Paul, the Vice President of Advancement at Verb treated me, Julie, and Zach to lunch at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.  This is an LA landmark establishment that features – you guessed it – chicken and waffles.  Yes, on the same plate. Fried chicken, complete with gravy and grits, and waffles with maple syrup and butter. DELICIOUS.  Check out the menu…we all had the Carol C. under Paul’s recommendation. I can’t wait to go back.

On the home front, things have been pretty quiet this week. For community night, we watched Glee for community night (which is now a house ritual) and for spirituality night, our support people let a reflection on the life of our community’s namesake: Dorothy Kazel.  On Wednesday evening, Julie, John and I walked down to USC for a student film festival.  The movies were okay – some much better than others. We went because John’s friend from Fordham is working on the film festival tour (Campus Movie Fest). It was a nice night out!

This afternoon we are throwing a little Thanksgiving party for the students, complete with cookie decorating and LOTS of crafts.  I will post pictures next week! This week’s Simplicity Challenge at Casa DK is to not use the internet at home and to instead spend our time a bit more intentionally with our community. I haven’t missed it much since I am on the computer all day at work, but this weekend might be a bit trickier.  More soon, I promise! Thanks for following :)
