Cleaning the thermos

12 Parley Vale JP 02130*
FAQ
- What ingredients can I use?
- About 30% of the occupiers are vegetarian but 70% eat meat.
- How large is the thermos?
- 3.5 gallons
- How much soup is that?
- Approximately 40 12 ounce servings.
- How do you cook that much soup?
- Our biggest pot is 4 gallons so we could do it in one batch. The prep feels like %20 more work than making soup for your household since you have help. Blended soups are a more work since you have to do so many batches but the time to do that wasn't that great.
- How heavy is the thermos when it is full?
- about 45lb
- How do I drop off soup?
- Drive to the s southeast corner of the camp, open your window and yell "drop off" or pull over, get out and let anyone know that you are delivering hot food and need it to be unloaded from your car.
- When do we pick up the thermos?
- We delivered soup at around 5pm on a Sunday. We stopped around 8pm and dinner was still being served and there was still soup left. We guess that by 9 it was empty. You could pick it up the next day but we suggest picking it up early since it needs to be cleaned.
- Still have questions about how to do a soup project?; email
- Tim at mckenna.tim@gmail.com or Peri at perimckenna@yahhoo.com or call/text Tim 857-498-2574, Peri 617-817-8501
