Last night I had my first Simply Homemade experience, and I have to say that I did enjoy it. Chris was late getting home from an appointment last night, so I drove her to meet her co-workers at the Crystal Lake store. Since there was a couple of hours before we were going to meet my mom for dinner, Chris had me come into the store and help her make our order.
First off, the store was not like I expected. Rather than having a large kitchen with cabinets and counter tops, the store consists of several stations on wheels. Each station has a refrigerator, a counter top and a holding area for the ingredients of the one or two meals that can be prepared at that station. At the front of the store, there are a couple of couches and an ottoman, where you can enjoy complimentary water, soft drinks, coffee and tea. Wine is also available during a wine tasting session.
A placard at each station has the directions for putting together the meal. There are large cylinders into which you place Ziploc bags to help keep things neat. The appropriate measuring spoon or cup is with each ingredient to make things easy. When you are done preparing your meal, you walk it over to the refrigerator and drop it in your named bin. Any time you step away from station area, you have to wash your hands before returning to prevent cross contamination.
I can see how Chris enjoys going to Simply Homemade each month.
