Last Supper

Jessica here--U.S. correspondent and Jen's oldest sister. Most of these posts will be written by Jenny, e-mailed to me, and posted onto the blog, but she asked me to post some pictures from her "last supper." And since she can't e-mail pictures at the center, these could be the last Jenny pictures for a while, so soak up some of that Jenny sunshine while you can!

The day before she flew out to Tel Aviv, she and Mom attended a five hour meeting on campus with the group. They covered...well, everything! It was five hours, after all. Afterwards, they came over to our house and I had the privilege of cooking Jenny's "last meal" before she left on her adventure.

(Besides Ellie's adorable, cheesy pose, don't you totally love the "halo" above Jenny's head from the plant light? Appropriate, no?) I decided to go with a French dish, Lemon Roasted Chicken with Croutons. Seemed worthy of a last meal. Isn't it beautiful?

We had it with a green salad with a honey lemon dressing and garlic mashed potatoes:

We were going to make Elephant Ears (a French cookie made out of puff pastry) for dessert, but ran out of time because she still had a little bit of last minute shopping to squeeze in before her early morning. So Jenny, remind me when you get home that we have to make Elephant Ears!

Goodbye is always hard, but knowing where she's going and how excited she is makes it hard to be anything but excited for her! She should have made it to her destination yesterday, so hopefully we'll get to hear from her soon!
