As we look forward to getting back together again, it’s worth an update on what to expect in the post-Covid world from the galley. EAA has provided some guidance that we will need to follow and hopefully the rules will be relaxed over time.

The galley’s first goal is to provide the same great meal experience as before. Our challenge will be how we provide and deliver the meals. In the past we would congregate around the grill and hand over individual meals. Then we would have another table for butters and syrup for breakfast. The changes going forward may include someone delivering meals to the table and individual packets for the condiments and silverware. Hopefully, these measures will only be temporary as things continue to return to normal.

We will have to decide how to distribute coffee and soda. My understanding is we should have someone responsible for handing out the drinks. I will stay on top of all food service requirements. I took some time to clean up the grills and refrigerators and any food that was stored in the hanger pre pandemic has been disposed of.

Even with these requirements there should be no disruption to the quality of the meals and service we provide from the galley. I will definitely need volunteers to help. This is a great opportunity for the youth of chapter to provide community service.

For our initial 2021 Face to Face meal, the Galley will be preparing the quintessential EAA breakfast – The Pancake Breakfast. It will be Pancakes, sausages and eggs, orange juice and coffee. If I have enough help we can do eggs to order it not I can prepare a batch of scrambled eggs. In the future we look forward to exploring breakfast options like breakfast burritos and omelets.
