I actually called the cafeteria at the hospital this week to speak to the Cafeteria Manager there to tell her how nicely the trays were presented and how I felt when eating my minute meals. Here is what she said "Oh, thank you. When I was a little girl, my Mama always told me 'It's not what you give a person to eat, it's how you present it. You can give them crackers and water, but if it's presented well, they will think they are eating steak and potatoes'. " And she laughed. But what she said was so true, and I can just imagine her mother telling her that. She sounded so sweet remembering her mother's words, I just had to share the story with you guys.
I met the lady behind this story today and I took her picture too. I won't identify her by name, but just look at the sweetness of her face. She gave me the biggest hug when she met me. Such a sweet lady.
Here is a picture of one of the
dinner trays we were served and all the trays were presented just like this. How impressive! And such a sweet story behind them.Notice the linen napkin covering the tray with another linen napking folded on the right. It has a small spoon inside it. The champagne flute holds the Crystal Light. And then there is a doilie under the scalloped edged cup holding my broth. Pretty.
Can you believe I was actually FULL after drinking this lunch???!!!!
That is so amazing. :)
