Dégustation

Last night we had a tasting party at the foyer. Everyone took over the kitchens on every floor to cook their favorite dish. My favorite was the bananas with rum, but there were a lot of different things, like Belgian “gauffres” (waffles), apple crumble, Scottish shortbread, marmalade, yogurt cake, and someone even brought a coconut and broke it open. Wendy, Jessie and I made chocolate chip cookies. It was kind of a disaster, but they were edible. Later on when we have one big communal kitchen, we'll have a more complete themed dinner of a certain nationality or region.
