Perspectives Meals

First of all, I'm not sure if I need an apostrophe in the title.  I think Perspectives is simply a proper noun in this case, and I can say Perspectives Meals like I can say RIC Meals.

 

If I had thought about this earlier, I would have taken pictures of all of the meals for the Perspectives participants....

 

A group of 65ish people attend a Perspectives class at the RIC every Tuesday evening (January-April) this year, and 35ish of them eat dinner beforehand.  I choose the menu based on what part of the world the speaker has been to.  Here are the weeks that have already passed:

 



 

 

Week I Menu (Turkey):

 

Guvech (baked stew of chicken, eggplant, zucchini, peppers, potatoes, and carrots, with lots of red pepper paste and garlic)

Rice Pilaf

Mediterranean-Style Salad (Romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions, with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano)

 

 

Week II Menu (Afghanistan):

Qabili Palau (rice pilaf with chicken, carrots, onions, and raisins--and cinnamon, coriander, cumin, all spice, and cloves)

Tomato-Cucumber-Radish Salad (with red onions, lime juice, and cilantro)

 

 

Week III Menu (Identifying with the Poor):

Black Beans

Steamed Rice

Bananas

 

 

Week IV Menu (Thailand):
