2009 Resident Retreat

Resident retreat always comes just in time... when everyone needs a little break. Every year we try to be creative in order to find a team-building activity that will be fun for everyone. This year we had a little help from Lisa's husband, Brad. Brad is a chef and teaches at one of the local culinary schools. Along with his help we planned a great day away for all the residents. We had some prep-work while Brad taught us some basic culinary skills, and then the competition was underway. We divided into teams and had an "Iron Chef Cook-off" in which each team was required to prepare an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The secret ingredients included lemongrass, beets, and Cocoa Puffs! The food was then judged by the chief residents and a guest chef judge. The food turned out to be beautiful and delicious... maybe we missed our true callings!
