The Chicken Marsala

Tonight, Georgia and I wanted to do our own, quick version of Lesley Delivers. It was as simple as buying a box of $2.99 donuts at CVS and we were making people's nights worthwhile. We saw the usual crew, a new fellow, and the people who we first met a few nights ago--the couple who was spending their first night on the street. We asked them how they were doing and they seemed slightly positive. They confessed to us that they had chosen to stay on the streets because they had been kicked out of a shelter. Someone had grabbed the woman inappropriately, and her partner, in defense, had knocked the man out. Because of this incident, they were kicked out of this shelter for 200 days. TWO HUNDRED. In two hundred days, it will be warm again. In 200 days a typical human being will have consumed 400,000 calories. Just to give you an idea, that would be 1,333 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We can do better than this.
