Cooking with the Troops
November 11th, 2011
Food, according to Funk and Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary, is “that which is eaten, drunk, or absorbed by an organism for maintenance of life and the growth and repair of tissues.”
The timing, delivery and atmosphere in which the food is delivered can go a long way toward increasing its benefits.
The military provides the sustenance to live. Whether it delivered as an MRE, box lunch or a full course chow hall meal, our Servicemembers are gonna eat, but when those meals are provided, they are part of the routine; part of the same ol’ grind.
I, like just about everybody else, looked forward to extracurricular events that would help break up the routine; especially those events that included food. Ah, nothing quite like a good Steel Beach picnic to boost the morale!
It is with that little bit of background I would like to introduce you to an organization that makes it their mission to break up the routine and provide an extra boost for the “maintenance of life and the growth and repair of tissues.” Cooking With the Troops.
Cooking With the Troops is a registered 501c(3) charity that provides food events, homefront and frontline support, and assists interested Servicemembers with their transition to a culinary Career.
Today, Veteran’s Day 2011, the NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. and Cooking with the Troops are teaming up for a very special Veteran’s Day event at Times Square in New York City. During the event, there will be a series of cooking demonstrations by guest/celebrity chefs, a luncheon, and the NASDAQ Closing Bell Ceremony (the bell ringing should be televised on CNBC).
