How many slices in a loaf of bread?
This morning I parent-volunteered at my kid’s high school, walking students a few blocks away to a free dining hall that serves three meals a day to homeless and low income people. Our job was making 120 sandwiches that would be handed out after the hot lunch, so that someone has food for later. We opened bags and bags of donated days old loaves of bread, swiped a big gob of mayo/mustard mix onto each slice and put two pieces of meat on one side, made the sandwich and then bagged it. We made two boxes of 60 sandwiches each.
As we opened loaf after loaf, I noticed that some loaves give you 8 sandwiches, some give you seven and some give you ten.
We’re in a recession. I’m pretty blessed. I’ve never had to figure out if the loaf I have has enough to make sandwiches for my whole family.
Just saying.
