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):
Sticky Rice
Laab Turkey-Beef (ground meat with green onions, mint, cilantro, lime, and brown rice powder)
Som Tam (pounded green papaya, carrots, green beans, and peanuts with fish sauce, lime, and sugar)
