            On Monday  I went to the WARM shelter and served cooked ham, hash browns and peas with carrots mixed in. I had to be careful while serving the hash browns towards the middle of the meal because we were starting to run out too quickly. This is where I learned how to make a little food serve more people than a lot of food serving a small amount of people. To do this one has to give each person a little less than the person before them so that the food will last. This means that some people will get less food than others, but that is what has to happen for everyone to get food. Zig said if there wasn't enough food left that we can go into the refrigerator and find a sandwich or anything that we can give someone to eat instead of hash browns. Zig is getting nervous because January is the month that people have to live on their food stamps for an extra ten days so there will be a lot more people coming into the warm shelter. I felt like I should have been more careful serving the hash browns. If I had done that everybody would have gotten a fair amount of food. I now know portion sizes and how much to serve for the amount of food that is made. I felt like this was a learning visit.
