Piping Hot Syrup

Yesterday Kathleen and I decided that we would go volunteer at the cannery. First, we sat through a training where they showed that "I Love Lucy" episode where they are working in a chocolate factory.



Then, we pretty much did just that, only with pancake syrup. Hot, sticky, sweet, pancake syrup. My job from 9:30 to 1:30 was to put the lids on as they went along the conveyer belt. By the time we were done, I had perfected the double handed, criss-cross, screw the lids on at the same time! Well, after 4 hours straight, you have to get creative, right?!

What can you do with MAD LID TWISITING SKILLZ? Cause I have it down!

We ended up with over 8000 bottles of syrup. Yes, they said we did about 100 bottles every two minutes. Whew.... It was fun, but I think I still smell like IHOP! I'm not really craving pancakes today.



And I still feel sticky...
