Monday Dinner

Today’s big event was our weekly student dinner. Maria and Olivia made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Similary to last week, it almost didn’t happen. The soup had a very … interesting flavor until Tyler improved things with a few spices. Tracy was banished from the kitchen for some ill-considered comments.

The main event, though, was a discussion with guests Emily and Joshua. They work in development with different non-governmental organizations (NGOs). (Emily is a former student of Tracy’s.) Emily works at MEST with students interested in software startups and the app economy. Joshua works in agriculture and micro finance, with a side business selling preservative-free dried pineapples. The samples he brought tonight were incredibly tasty!

A few days ago, I wrote about a volleyball game in which Kallie broke her ankle. In the photo below, you can see Kallie’s new blue cast that was installed this morning. She has a few weeks of crutches to endure, after which her ankle should be completely healed.
