Bumping!
In the DG @ Bama thread, someone posted something about wanting to be the housemother in that beautiful house. For whatever reason, that comment reminded me of greekchef and this thread.
So, I'm bumping because I always liked this thread, and hope it was helpful to greekchef. You still around, chef?

I miss greekchef. I actually was telling live-in about greekchef last night when we were talking about his friend's wife's facebook group called "Soup's On, What's for Dinner?"

I miss him too, but then I'm open to talk to anyone about menus and recipes.

My favourite recipe is actually from daycare and it's delicious - my parents had to get the recipe and down size it from daycare amounts to regular family amounts.
I assume scaling it back up would be pretty easy too
CORN CHOWDER
Ingredients:
1 can Sweet corn
2 sticks of celery, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 rashers of bacon, finely chopped (easiest to do all three together in the food processor)
2 medium potatoes diced
500ml water
2 cups of milk
a bay leaf
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
Method:
1. Sweat (low heat, lid on for a couple of minutes - don't brown them) the onion, celery and bacon in a saucepan.
2. Add water, water from the can of sweet corn, and the bay leaf and simmer for 10 mins.
3. Add the potatoes and cook until they are soft.
4. Add the milk and corn and cook for 5 mins.
5. Add the chopped parsley.
6. Serve

I wonder if we IM'd Greek Chef, if he would "start cooking" again. Looking for a dressing recipe for my Beet, Goat Cheese and Pecan salad for Easter.

Darn, was so hoping that greekchef was posting again. His (her?) posts were always so interesting.

Hi all....I haven't been around for awhile...busy time. My daughter is a senior in high school this year and with my son getting up to the teenage years now I have to compete with them and my wife for some computer time. I find it sweet that anyone would miss my few contributions. I am moving toward beginning my 7th year at the "house" in the fall, I am on my 3rd house mother and soon my 5th assistant. Doesn't sound like I get along well with other, eh?
The highlights of this past year include a Harry Potter themed dinner, a day at the beach seafood feast, and a Lady Gaga dinner. Currently the chapter is tilting a bit more healthy in their preferences than before. Really the biggest issues that has some stirred up are "green" issues.
As before, I am all about some ideas for the ladies. (Hi Mandy Pepperidge)

Hi greekchef. I am a private chef wondering about making a move into sorority cooking. As you have been in it for a while, would you please fill me in with the reality of how I could expect the position to play out....salary, benefits etc.
Thanks, chefsooz.

this post interested me because my chapter is getting a new cook this coming school year. Our last cook was pretty good and here are some of my chapters favorites...
artichoke dip with pita points
turkey and provolone paninis on cranberry wild rice bread
carrot curry soup (personal fav)
bbq meatballs with mashed baby reds
tacos
smoked chicken nacho's with fruit salsa
pasta night- some combo of pesto gnocchi, baked ziti, manicotti, or fettucini.
french dip
I hope I can show this thread to our new cook and she'll get inspired!
