neighbour; dinner; #17
Tonite was my 3rd to last food and travel class. We had to do some fun exercises like write instructions on how to peel an apple. We were also given a mystery ingredient that we had to write a descriptive paragraph about (using all the senses). But we couldn't name the ingredient. We then had to read it out to the class and they guessed what it was. So fun. Guess what mine was:
"Like miniature, hard raisins this taste is essential to many foods. It's course, tiny shape is often not much bigger than a pin head but smaller than a thumbtack. Probably the second most used seasoning in the English-speaking world this hot pebble is everywhere. Freshly ground its burning pungence is instant - often sending those in the vicinity into sneezing fits. Preground and shaken it sprinkles black and light grey. The adventurous will eat it whole in bubbly stews, pilafs or jambayalas."
On the way home I took the #17 with two class mates. Turns out one of them, Paola from Colombia, is my neighbour. Lives right across the street. She wants to join our international dinner club after the course is over. We're all wannabe foodies now so she wants to continue our own little foodie gatherings. Warm fuzzies. WestEnd lurv.
