Dinner 2.27.2010





First Well Fed back of the semester last night. Unfortunately I forgot my camera for the second half but I have some great pictures from the whole day of cooking.
We had four new cooks with us this week and they were all amazing! Big thank you to the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life for funding us half the amount we will need to continue the dinners this semester! We were able to serve the dinners for $5 instead of $10 because of it!
The final menu was.

Moroccan mint tea

Butternut squash soup with fried sage and crostini
----
Pasta with Italian sausage, kale* and green garlic
Medley of roasted root vegetable
kohlrabi, sunchoke, purple carrots, turnips and fennel
A
rugula salad*
----
Strawberry shortcakes
First of the season!

*From the garden!

Meeting!

Well Fed is having its first official meeting of the semester (or ever, for that matter) on Monday, February 8th at 12:30 in Johnson 204. If you love to cook, especially with local, seasonal fruits and vegetables than this is the group for you. We serve a three or four course meal every other weekend to 20 members of the Oxy community. Check out older posts for menus. We have also partnered with student musicians and artists to really make the dinners special. It does not matter if you don't have experience cooking for large numbers of people-- if you enjoy cooking this is for you!
See you on Monday :)
