Italian Festival in Belmar
If we hear “Italian Festival”, then we must go!
The FYE “Slow Food in a Fast-Food Nation” joined our team at the Italian Festival in Belmar to check out some Slow food delicacies from Italy and spend a lovely afternoon together.
International welcome lunch!
What a great event! So many of you attended the International Welcome Lunch at the language houses quad and our big community started the new Academic year off right!
Yes, there was a lot of food: freshly made dishes from all over the world. The Italian house brought pasta fredda for everyone. Aww pasta… what else?
And, can you spot what’s on the side of pasta fredda? Yeah… some delicious Salame di cioccolato!
And, after having this yummy lunch, some work out was necessary: calcio e balli per tutti!
Did you like the CPCs flashmob?
Looks like the main dish of our lunch was fun!
Domenica is brunch time!
China, Japan and, of course, Italy: the CPCs worked together to offer a good Sunday brunch to all the residents of Elbert House. Torte salate, Nutella, caprese, Chirashi zushi, mame gohan, Chinese pea cake…and much more.
Everything was delizioso!
So many of you showed up…
…which means there were no leftovers!
A well-deserved break to refresh our minds after the first week of Block 1!
Alla prossima, ragazzi!
