Greetings!!!!
Hard to believe it is already April and things are coming alive.
Spring flowers have started to blossom, grass is getting green
and temperatures are rising. I love the feeling of new growth.
I cannot go without giving a BIG THANK YOU to the wonderful
volunteers that have gone above and beyond helping to pack
and deliver the meals. All are lifesavers and Trumbull Mobile
Meals is grateful and thankful to be blessed with such awesome
volunteers!!!
Trumbull Mobile Meals Team is excited with the many positive
things going on in the next few months. New ideas for current
fundraisers, new fundraisers, our history being visible to the human eye, new paint and flooring that will be happening in the
next few months, to the completion of the front of the building
and having a positive focus on growth. Spring has sprung at

A letter from a clients family:

Dear Becky, Mobile Meals Staff and
Volunteers,

It took a TON of courage for me to take

the GIANT leap to sign Dad up for
meals. I had come to look at it this way, I
am 50 years old, my parents have raised
me to always try to do the right thing.
What would be the worst that can happen? They get mad at me? Maybe

his meal every day.

My husband and I have told my parents

we signed Dad up for a one month
trial. So, Mom has come up with the
notion that the sticker on the paper bag
is who is providing the meal for that day.
Its hard to see your parent is getting

Please enjoy the ice cream recipe by Kathie!

Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Total Time: 1 hr 30 min
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons flaky sea salt
Ice cream Base (recipe follows)
1 tablespoon pure Tahitian vanilla extract
Ice Cream Base:
1 cup whole milk
4 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream

Directions:
Heat sugar in dry heavy-bottomed sauce
pan over medium heat, stiring with a
fork to heat the sugar evenly, until it
start to melt, then stop stirring and swirl
the pan so the sugar melts evenly, and
continue cooking until it is a dark amber
color.
Carefully add the heavy cream and
cook, stirring until all the caramel has
dissolved. Transfer to a heat proof bowl
and stir in sea salt. Set the caramel mixture over a bowl filled with ice water
and stir until chilled to room temp.
Combine the caramel mixture with the
Ice Cream Base and add the vanilla.
Freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturers directions.

Ice Cream Base:

Heat the milk in a sauce pan over medium-low heat.
Prepare an ice bath by setting a 2 quart
bowl over a larger bowl partially filled
with ice water.
Set a strainer over the smaller bowl and
set aside.
In separate bowl, whisk together the egg
yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color and the sugar has dissolved. Gradually pour the warmed milk into the yolk
mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the
mixture back into the same saucepan
you used to warm the milk. Cook 3-5
mins, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a
wooden spoon. Strain the custard into
the top bowl of the ice bath to stop the
cooking process. Add the heavy cream
and stir over the ice bath until cool. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill
thoroughly, preferably overnight.
Yield: about 3
cups
