Let me first begin this post with a belated birthday wish to Lara Spruill, former camp photographer and summer camp staff. Lara also taught me that "water" is pronouced "wurder." Lara was a lot of fun to have around the Center for the last couple of years...she is now training to be a nurse...good luck Lara - and "cumpleanos feliz".
Now - it's time to meet Becky...
Hello everyone...please meet Becky....Becky Ingalls....yeah I like her hair, too...WHAT?!?!
In case you do not know Becky, she's our Food Service Supervisor. If you loved the food you were served at the Eastern 4-H Center, blame her. Friendly waitstaff....yep, her fault, too. Pretty much everything great about our Food Service can be blamed on Becky. Becky really loves running the kitchen and meeting our visitors...in fact, I have never heard her tell anyone "I hope you dislike your meal." Becky seems to good to be true, or is she? Let's take an in-depth look at this lady.
Becky's vitals:
Height - between 5'0" and 6'0" (depending on how fashionable her hair has been styled on any given day)
Blood Type - Ketchup
Favorite Activities - Driving, Short walks to the parking lot, and ordering food service products
Alright - enough with the scientific breakdown, Becky Ingalls supervises a lot of staff...like 20! Those guys and gals are responsible for serving and delivering anywhere from 200-800 meals on any day - WHOAA!
I have always thought that there are 2 things you cannot afford to mess up - someone's food and someone's fun. It amazes me that a mom or dad can prepare a meal for a family of 5 and still not please everyone at the table. However, Becky and her staff can prepare 800 meals and satisfy EVERYBODY. So that this is not a biased post, I will say that there are people out there who did not enjoy their meals here. I could not track down either one of those people for an interview, though.
To put Becky and the Eastern 4-h Center's Food Service track record of superiority into perspective, I have included two scenarios:
My friend Steve knows only 10 people, and 8 of them detest him. There is an 80% chance that if you meet Steve, you will also not like him. Conversely, If Becky & Crew serve 800 meals in one day and there is a person who did not like their meal, your percentage of hating your meal will be .125%. AMAZING! If you are a "Glass Half-Full" kinda person, there is a 20% chance you will enjoy my friend Steve, and a 99.875% chance that you will enjoy your meal here at the Eastern 4-H Center...it's pure science.
What makes this feat most amazing is that if you decide to take advantage of our beautiful facility, great programs, and meals service - you will have the opportunity to pick your own menu...so if you want to pick something disgusting, Becky and her staff are sneaky enough to still make it divine!
While Becky is short, she is still friendly. She is a nice lady. Becky takes good care of my campers and staff in the summer, too. She serves meals that are nutritious, but still look and taste like pizza (important when feeding many children). If I were ever faced with the "last-meal" scenario, I would include my mother's Chicken Rustica, Becky's Prime Rib, and Becky's Broccoli Salad...it's all that good! In the meantime, I will stick with Becky's cheesecakes, bacon cheeseburgers, chicken & pastry, has brown casserole, cookies, and barbecue sandwiches to nourish me to the very end.
Becky and her staff prepare meals for conferences, camps, retreats, and even discerning wedding parties and fund-raisers...she has a tough job. Though Becky works on the other side of our facility, I make my way over their daily (OK, hourly) to make sure she is being a good girl...and she usually is...but her and her crew are also very entertaining!
Now that you know Becky a little better, see if she can satisfy your crew...there is a 99.825% chance she can!
