The Jewish Burrito Bar

Friday was my first day of acting as one of the two Shabbat Officers for the Jewish Society here in St Andrews. Earlier, in March, my co-officer, Jillian, and I planned out a delicious chocolate dinner featuring the main dish as burritos. In planning the idea sounded great, but in practice it turned out to be quite a spectacular event. Starting at 4:30pm the shopping began. One hundred and twenty pounds ($200 U.S.) was spent on tortillas, vegetables, cheeses and more. Running later, 5:30p.m., we only had an hour and a half to cook. However, with the help of many friends and good innovative support the cooking was done within the block of time and the meal was ready. As a specialty dish we featured a chocolate mole sauce and a vegetarian Quorn chilli. While we expected 15 to 20 people, 30 showed. Everyone sat, talked, and enjoyed the meal. Praise came from all around the room as the food was served and an announcement was made that our society was the Developing JSoc of the Year. We had just recently swapped board members and this event was a perfect kick-off to the new JSoc year. On Tuesday I will be cooking a passover meal with the help of others. Look out for more info and a good story. An international seder here I come!
