Laughs, food, creativity, and joint bonding filled the room during this Fall’s Progressive dinner. When I think of this event, I think of the love I have for my big bro, Derek Lee. Cooking with him for this event was so amazing because I am completely obsessed with purple and mint cookies; so we made mint cookies and added purple food coloring as a surprise for everyone in attendance. Our baking adventure was as wonderful as going through the three different apartments of Progressive Dinner; appetizers, entrées and desserts.
Opposite bigs and littles cooked together for the 3 different stations which were hosted conveniently on the same floor of Levering Heights. We started with appetizers such as sweet potato fries with 3 different sauces! After that warm up, we went to the entrée apartment where we ate fettuccini alfredo and tacos. Once the entrees were finished we divided into two teams for a drawing competition! One person from each team looked at a picture drawn by the judge, then the two teams raced to draw that picture on each other’s back, going off of what they felt the person before them draw while only using their hands.After hopes of having the end drawing look similar to the original; Mickey Mouse became a man and a robot became a donut. Lastly, we ate desserts in the final destination of the night. Dessert included brownies, mint cookies, plátanos rellenos, magic cake and marshmallow brownies. We ended the night with a few rounds of Spanking Yoda, where we learned just how creative we all are and that individual interpretation can change the course of everything.
