Burrito Day ended up being postponed from Wednesday to today due to Sarah having struggles getting and cooking the meat. It became my responsibility, which was fine, and so I used $30 from our funds for the orphanage to purchase about 5.5 pounds of ground beef. I cooked it last night with spices and let it simmer in the crock pot for today.
I was able to leave class 15 minutes early to prepare for Burrito Day, which made the process immeasurably easier. We had about double of all the ingredients this time, except for meat and salsa, because we felt we would have enormous success due to how popular the burritos were a couple of weeks ago. This ended up being good planning on our part. Around 50 burritos were sold this time, and the only things we ran out of were salsa and plates (oops!). People were very satisfied with the burritos, and we got many repeat customers and donations. The meat was monitored this time as well, with each person getting just a little less than a serving spoonful, so that no more Sebastian Rowell's would come along and exploit our kindness. The atmosphere was light and fun, and everyone had a great time. All the burritos were sold after 15 minutes, showing just how successful this project was. In the end, our total collection, combined with the $50 left from the first burrito day, was $156. This was fantastic! We about reached the goal of $160, even after having to spend thirty bucks on meat. I was very proud of our commitment to the activity and the perseverance and dedication of everyone involved. It really was a great day and it's even better to know that all the money raised will go to a good cause, ensured by my personal supervision of its use. I love Spanish Club.
