Although there wasn't a lot of food to choose from to make tonight's meal, the one thing we did have lots of was eggs. So the question for the cooking team was how can we make a tasty dinner using eggs which isn't a tortilla and doesn't involve boiled eggs as we have had enough (or un oeuf) of peeling eggs. For the main course of eggs shakshuka many eggs needed cracking, and the dessert required more eggs to make a fruit custardy base with a meringue topping. So Dani, Lucie and Gill all got cracking in the kitchen. In the main hall the hosting team includes Neill and Abdulrahman, and although Sam was meant to be hosting we soon persuaded her to come into the kitchen as she is the number one potwasher on the team. Another successful meal with lots of happy guests.

2 goodgymers helped to serve up a tasty summer meal to 30 guests plus takeaways. The main was fritata and salad The dessert strawberries cream and fresh fruit.

One goodgymer and 5 other volunteers from Friends of River Lea Luton helped to clean up the river of cans,plastic bottles, plastic bags and two footballs at the Bide a while stretch of the river. 6 litter bags were filled and the flow of the river became easier. A great piece of community work !

When the FoodCycle team is augmented by 6 GoodGymers you know it's going to be a good evening. Gill, Martin and Lucie were in the kitchen and we were faces with a lot of eggs to incorporate into our menu. The starter was an egg mayonnaise salad and Lucie enjoyed every moment of peeling the 28 boiled eggs (or did she?). Gill and Martin turned a large bag of lentils and grated carrots into a delicious loaf using another 25 eggs - this time whisked. Fawaz, Neill and Abdulrahman were enlisted on the hosting team and got stuck into setting up the hall, waiting tables and clearing up at the end. Well done, you all worked hard and we were served and cleared up in record time.

At FoodCycle there was amazing turn out of 44 guests and 4 of our dedicated Goodgymers joined the team to provide a tasty meal for them. There was great team work as they worked together with the FoodCycle volunteers to host, cook, wash up and provide a welcoming atmosphere.
