[Eoscstudents] Menu for Thurs. Sept. 9

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

Well, yesterday evening was interesting.  After our house lights went 
off and right back on a few times during the evening, they finally went 
totally off at about 10:20 or so, and were off for about an hour.  I had 
to pull out my cell phone to use for a flashlight, (see, Mildred, they 
are good for something), to help me find a flashlight and a lighter and 
candles so we wouldn't be left in total darkness.  (It really is dark in 
the country when the electricity goes off.)   Other than major 
catastrophes, like a couple of ice storms in the past several years, we 
rarely have a power outage.  Years ago, it used to happen every time a 
cloud came up, but since we've moved out there and I made sure to be 
prepared with candles and wall sconces all over the place, it hasn't 
happened much at all.  While the electricity and TV were still working 
though, I noticed a map displayed on a special weather report that 
showed this area of the state, and which portions were under a flood 
watch,  and which portions were under a tornado watch.  It would 
probably seem odd to anyone but an Okie that these counties were right 
next to, and even included some of  the counties covered by a burn ban.  
Gotta love our weird Oklahoma weather.  After raining all night, though, 
maybe the burn ban will be lifted.

The entire Cafeteria staff will be attending a Safety Meeting today from 
2:00 to 3:00, and so will be unavailable for that hour to answer phone 
calls.  If you need to contact us, please leave a message on Mildred's 
or my phone and we will get back to you after our meeting.

Our menu for today includes:
             Meatloaf
             Steamed red potatoes
             Corn
             Green beans
             Navy beans
             Zucchini and tomatoes
             Hot rolls

And for dessert, have some tasty Apple Cobbler, and you can top it off 
with our wonderful Soft Serve Ice Cream.

Have a great day,

Rhoda    :-)
