| The ingredients for good cooking
are enthusiasm, appetite, and fresh produce. The talented cooks that gathered
to prepare the "Culinary Odyssey to Greece" Cosmopolitan Club
dinner on Sunday, January 30, brought with them ample quantities of all
of these. Cooking took place on Saturday from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., and it resumed
at 10 a.m. on Sunday. The preparations for the January 30 Cosmopolitan dinner
turned out to be a fun and rewarding collective activity. Despite a few
clashes among the cooks on what were the "right" ingredients or
what was the right direction for stirring the fasolada (bean soup) [ ;-)
], it was a positive experience that will remain with them forever. Conducive
to the dinner's success was the generous hospitality of the residents of
307 East John Street. |
