On Friday nights we have an informal, yet regularly planned event called the Friday Night Thing (FNT). Our group also has a connection with several Japanese students who are at CU for the year. Challenge students got to know a group from the same university last year (and even visited them in Japan last summer) and so made a quick connection with this year’s group.
All that to say that our Japanese friends wanted to make the food for the FNT and they wanted to make ‘their’ food to remind them of home. So we had 60+ students in the house for the Japanese style FNT. And,WOW, was it good and a good time. We had some kind of pancake things, rice balls with little sweet blankets, lots of noodles with veggies and some meat, California rolls and more. Many of our other Asian students also helped out in the kitchen and added their cooking expertise. So it was a very Asian night and we loved it.
