So I did a thing today...and I'm gonna do it again.

[sir pball]

I mentioned this a while back, that I was going to donate my skills…and hoo boy, did I. I was on zucchini-slicing duty, and given that we were all in teams of 2 filling the same size containers, by my math I'm five times faster than a civilian at slicing vegetables

In all seriousness, it was the most satisfying thing I've done in a very long time and I've already booked the same shift as far out as I can.

That's awesome. As are you.

4. Bravo

My Dad, who never cooked in his life, discovered zucchini pie when he retired and cooked so many of them and so often that the,family begged him to stop.😁

I volunteer at our local food shelf.

Places like soup kitchens and food shelves are always looking for volunteers.

10. What a fantastic idea!

Thank you for doing this! A superb idea for anyone with a big heart and time on their hands.

[fierywoman]

12. I L*O*V*E that you are doing this !!!

[Trueblue Texan]

13. I love this!

Feeding people is one of my favorite ways to show love! I doubt I have the energy to donate it in such a large measure as you have, but I did cook a meal for a friend in the hospital today and I frequently hold parties for Dem events and other fun things at my house. Building community with food (and dance!) is truly a sweet and satisfying endeavor. Thank you for all you do!

14. Thank you zucchini chopper 🥒

15. Get a solid mandolin, you can do things in 1/2 the time!

[sir pball]

17. I have to use their equipment

Only knives. Plus this was half-moon cuts, slice the zucchini lengthwise then cut it up…knife is definitely faster there.

16. Can guarantee you're 10x faster than this civilian.

18. success is to give

19. I bet you are!

I enjoy cooking. I fancy I'm pretty decent for a home cook. But goddam am I slow at slicing.

A friend was a professional cook before going back to school and whenever we cook together, dude just humiliates me in the veggie slicing department! It's embarrassing!

Thank you fo donating your skills!

20. Dear Zucchini King of D.C. .......

Keep up the good work for humanity! D.C. needs tons of that in this era........

If you're bad, do they transfer you to slicing the onions?

Thanks for sharing, it gave us an uplift of spirit.........

[OLDMDDEM]

21. That's great. Good for you and thank you for volunteering.

[ihaveaquestion]

22. I volunteered for 2 years at my county food share program, delivering boxes of food to households in need.

Had to stop in June for a hip replacement, so no more delivery duty for me, but I will go back soon to pack boxes or whatever they need done.

For the record, of all the households I delivered to (7-9 every week), I never saw any that I would say weren't "deserving" of help. They were elderly, disabled, or very much in need. The need out there is HUGE!

[HeartsCanHope]

23. Thank you for all you did and will do!

We all need to do what we can to help!

[Volaris]

24. Thats awesome! I also did a Good Deed today,

I dropped off a copy of Nobody's Girl to my local congresswomans office, in case she hasn't time to read it yet.
