Maintenance team cooking?

Well, the chef here at Lurecrest had to head home because his grandma was really sick.
Somebody has to cook for the Bible school so we decided to take it upon ourselves and grill some burgers. We had found some really awesome hats while cleaning up one of the offices a month ago so we through them on since we couldn't find any hairnets. Nate, the chef, also emphasizes the necessity to wear gloves while handling food so we brought some of our own since our hands our too large to fit his. Our gloves are supposed to be used for working with Cattle's rear ends, but they were sterile and cover our entire arms so we figured they would work too.
Big Nate grilled up the burgers nicely, it was kind of an ugly day so we were excited to get a chance to do something fun.

No good burger is served properly without some baked beans, so Jeremy opened up a can and cooked them up, seasoned to perfection. The trick to making an ordinary can of baked beans exceptional; a little bit of ketchup based barbeque sauce, a good helping of brown sugar, and a dash of liquid smoke.

In the end we heard compliments all around from the students, some even said that our burgers and beans were better than the cook makes. We even managed to convince Tom, one of the school teachers, that the smoke flavor the beans had was because we cooked them in the grill with the burgers. Maybe we should cook more often? Probably not.
