This weekend was family weekend here at Grinnell, and we decided to greet our parents with a home-made meal! Eleanor led our endeavor with her famous salmon patties, while the rest of us made yummy side dishes. (Special shout out to David for his delicious pesto pasta -- made out of fresh basil from his garden back home in Kentucky!)
Best of all, the meal was made from mostly local foods, including the kale, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, rice, and pesto (well, local to David's garden), to name a few. We even had some yummy local beer from the Amana colonies just down the road!
Everyone's families seemed to enjoy it, and overall I'd say we considered the evening a great success.
The food! (Well, some of it)
House meeting time. Everyone just looks so enthused to be talking about dirty dishes again! (Just kidding.) (Kind of.) (We also talk about other things, I swear!)

An after-dinner jam session in the living room is always a good way to end the night.
