Senior center BLT: Best Lunch in Town
I traveled recently to Kendrick for one of the best BLTs I have ever eaten. It was served at the Juliaetta-Kendrick Senior Center as part of the Senior Nutrition Program with some delicious homemade potato salad, some yummy baby carrots and an orange wedge. Now, one thing you should know about me, is BLTs are one of my favorite sandwiches. Another thing you should know is that I usually only eat them at home because I am a bit picky about how they are prepared. The bacon must be crisp, but not burnt and there must be enough of it on the sandwich that you don’t have to separate the bread to see there is, in fact, bacon on the sandwich. I also don’t like too much mayo — often on BLTs there is so much of it that’s all you taste. I like the tomato slices to be semi-thick and enough lettuce you know it’s got that all-important L in the BLT. Too often you end up with an Mbtl (Mayo, some bacon, a little tomato and a
hint of lettuce). My point is — if I like a BLT made by someone else enough to mention it — you know it’s a good sandwich. Here’s the thing, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Karen Lewis, who started cooking at the senior center last September. She is one of the most dedicated volunteers I have met — along

with Francis Lisher, another volunteer at the center. These two women, almost single-handedly, are the senior center’s nutrition program. They do it all, from Thinking of Pre-planning Your Funeral or Cremation preparing the food to serving it, doing the dishes afterward, delivering it to the homebound, picking up the groceries and planning the meals. That being said I also want to take this opportunity to let you in on a little secret. While they may not serve the same number of people as the centers in larger towns, it is a lot of work for just two volunteers.
