Even with busy schedules and many demands, Stratfordites still need to eat! Meals are served as a house at specific times, but girls can sign up for lates (lunch or dinner placed in the fridge with their name on it) if they have class or another commitment. Leftovers are also placed in the fridge, and fruit or other snacks are often left out on the counter. Residents never go hungry!
Meals Served at Stratford House:
BREAKFAST: every morning Hot breakfast is not prepared for the residents, but Stratfordites are provided with food items to prepare for themselves. Cereal, granola bars, oatmeal, bread for toast, fruit, yogurt, eggs, and other breakfast items are ordered by the commies and able to be eaten at any time of the day or night throughout the week. Coffee and juices are also available.
LUNCH: Monday - Saturday at 12:05 p.m Lunches vary throughout the week, and are served everyday at 12:05 p.m. Lates are placed in the fridge for the girls who aren't home and would like lunch saved for them. On Sunday afternoon, a meal is not served but there are many leftovers from the week in the fridge. DINNER: Monday - Saturday at 5:30 p.m & Sunday at 5:30 p.m Dinners vary throughout the week, and are served every evening at 5:30 p.m. Lates are placed in the fridge for girls who aren't home and would like dinner saved for them. On Saturday evening, Stratford eats dinner next door at Koinonia House. On Sunday's, Koinonia Housecomes over and we eat dinner together.
