african american history meal

in honor of african american history month, today our cafeteria served up its tribute to soul food. i went with seafood gumbo, bbq pork ribs, collard greens and sweet potatoes, although also on the menu was macaroni and cheese, spicy rice, chicken and shrimp etoufee, cornmeal battered catfish fingers and fried filet of flounder with hush puppies.

the portions may have been a bit meager (only two ribs!), but it was pretty tasty. as i've mentioned earlier, our gourmet cafeteria is pretty satisfying. the only downside to having a great cafeteria is never leaving the building during the day. but i guess it's still better than the lunch options we had at build (although athena cafe had a fabulous egg salad).

- thanks rachel for the heads up about new york's anthrax scare (on her street two blocks away!)
- it was really interesting reading google's official testimony about the internet in china
- kudos to venture capitalists supporting educational entrepreneurs! mentioned in the article is aspire public schools, which has been a great supporter of build (yay lionel wilson prep!)
