Hi all!

Thank you so much for your hard work in the kitchen. You guys have been doing an amazing job.

This week we're going to make Thai red curry dumpling. The menu name might sound intimidating, but it's actually pretty simple to prepare. I think it'll be very manageable for everyone.

I'll go to the first service and guide you afterword.

Here are the breakfast and lunch menus for Sunday, along with the instructions.

Jasmine:

• Reminder to pick up 5 dozen Shipley donuts (don't forget to fill out the reimbursement form and leave it in Jonathan Lee's mail box)
• Have coffee and hot water ready by 8:15 AM and monitor/fill throughout the day.
• Your HC is responsible for preparing/serving breakfast and attending the second service.
• Join the rest of the HCs to serve and clean after the second service.

Breakfast : Bagels, Muffins, Uncrustables

6 boxes Uncrustables (No special instructions—just leave them out and they will thaw naturally)
1 box Bagels - Warm in oven, cut in half, and serve with cream cheese
1 box of muffins - Cut in half
1 box of bananas - cut in half
Drinks - 2 orange juice, 2 apple juice (in panty - put it on the ice), and water station

James, Jaewoo & Briana, Jaemin & April:

Lunch: Thai red curry dumplings, garlic broccoli, rice and oranges

Thai red curry dumplings:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a medium pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
3. Place frozen dumplings in the medium pan. Pour the sauce evenly over the top, making sure the dumplings are mostly covered.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and dumplings are tender.
5. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and chili crisp.

Garlic broccoli

1. Heat the olive oil in a large wok over medium-high. Add the broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. 
2. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Please let me know if you have any questions! See you guys Sunday!

HC,

I need 1 person to come by tomorrow at 8am to help me! 

That Person comes to make coffee and place it in the front. Use the cart to make it easier!

Everyone else, come at 8:30-9 am to do the following:

@James Kwon 

Please remember to pick up 5 dozen Shipley donuts (fill out the reimbursement form and leave it in Jonathan Lee's mail box) and have coffee ready by 8:15 AM for the Mag team and volunteers, and monitor/ fill coffee throughout the day.  

Additionally, you or someone from your HC are responsible for setting up the breakfast prior to the end of 1st service.  You're also the main person to lead the assigned menu prep and serve with everyone.  This also includes making sure everything gets put away and cleaned up at the end of the day.  **Please designate someone to save food for PE**

Reminder-- ALL HCs are expected to be present each Sunday, either for breakfast or lunch and for clean up afterwards.  All HCs should also be attending 1st or 2nd service. The lead HC (only a few HCs members needed) will prepare breakfast then attend 2nd service. The other house churches will attend 1st service then prep afterwards for lunch. Refreshment ministry takes precedence over all other ministries (including NLK) and you will need to find a sub if you have overlapping ministries.

B R E A K F A S T : Bagels and Muffins
1 box bagels - Preheat in the oven as necessary and cut in halves.  Serve with cream cheese
1 box of muffins - cut into halves
6 boxes Uncrustables
1 box of bananas - cut into halves
Drinks - 2 orange juice, 2 apple juice and water station

L U N C H : Korean foods - bulgogi, Bapchae, Korean seasoned salads, Rice.  Desert - mandarin oranges

I'll have most of the ingredients prepped tomorrow.  The main thing you need to worry about is to cook the bulgogi in the wok and boil the noodles.  I'll have the rice started and attend the first service to join you guys during the second service.
