Andrew has an old roommate. His name is Micah. He's part of our BlueZone. (A group of friends who lives close to one another. It's been found that to have a close-knit group of friends extends your life.) He has been a teacher in Baltimore for the past few years, but is trying to decide what to do next. He is thinking of going to culinary school.
That's got my vote.
He hosted a seven-course dinner on Saturday night in his backyard. It was incredible. It started at 6 with socializing, first course served at 7, and dessert concluded dinner at 11. It was so much fun.
Sadly, the only picture we took was at our house before we left for dinner.
The courses all had much fancier names (seriously, this wasn't your run of the mill food) but I can't remember them.
1. Spinach Tofu Soup
2. Fried Green tomatoes and Vinegar Brussel Sprouts (it's a tough call, but I think this might have been my favorite course).
3. Drink: Berry Smoothie of some-sort for the Mormons. Everyone else had something else (which is even more incredible...considering he was cooking for 20!)
4. Indian dish of some variety that had potatoes and spinach in it.
5. Drink...rum something or other
6. Crusted Chicken with tomato, Cucumber soaked in vinegar and sugar (so GOOD!) and a three bean salad
7. Dessert: Chocolate Mousse. Wow. It was rich a delish.
We sat at a table with people that Andrew had met before, but didn't really know. Since there was about a half hour between courses we got to know them really well, which was really fun.
