Food for the soul and food for the body!

Saturday evenings around 7pm (following Mass), the Newman Students Society provides dinner at the Newman Centre (3484 Peel). For only $4, you get a full meal (including dessert!). Also, a vegetarian option
is always included! Come join us and share a great meal and great conversation.

Special Dinners throughout the Year

In addition to having a typical supper every Saturday after mass, some of these are extra-special and we work even harder - cooking more food to celebrate a specific event! These events include:

• Thanksgiving - We cook a great Thanksgiving turkey the week following Canadian Thanksgiving (who CAN'T do with another weekend of turkey and all the fillings?!)
• Christmas - The last Saturday Night Supper of the Fall Semester is the Christmas Dinner. We cook a huge array of Holiday food! This is one Grand Feast!
• Resurrection PartyA - After the Easter Vigil, we all gather for a potluck celebration where we eat desserts galore.

Ever wonder what it's like to cook for 40+ people?

Or, are you free for a particular Saturday Afternoon? Saturday Night Suppers are planned and cooked entirely by volunteers. There is always the need for coordinators and helpers. So, come out and help us by volunteering! No culinary experience is needed to help, and you get to eat for free!

SNS Past Bloopers!

Fire alarms!

At least one a semester (usually when a VP SNS is coordinating).

Misplaced ingredients

"So, I guess the sugar was for the tea. What's that? What cranberry sauce? How much salt goes into the gravy again?"

"I was supposed to buy salad dressing? What? Does anyone have a good recipe for salad dressing?"

(Not so) Great Preparation

Newmanite: "So, what's on the menu today?"
Anonymous former VP SNS: "Uh, I'll figure out in an hour when I go shopping"

Anonymous former VP SNS: "Note to self: in order to avoid panic, next time the turkey probably should be bought in advance, not the day of."

Anonymous current VP SNS: "Oh no, I do not think we have enough food...(said many prayers and sent frantic looks upward)."

Three words: Oktoberfest lentil salad

What do these have in common? For all of them, a former or current VP SNS can be held responsible. As you can see, even the "Pros" slip up, so don't worry and give volunteering a go!

Life Is Easier! Coordinate this year and enjoy the benefits of access to the Newman Recipe book for ideas, amounts and other information (such as awesome cooking tips). The Newman Recipe book is a collection of all the recipes that people have used for Saturday Night Suppers, including some treasured family recipes that cooks have shared with the community in the past. It is available for the general use of the Newman community.

If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, or mashed potatoes, feel free to contact the VP- Saturday Night Supper.
