We are filled with such a capitalistic viewpoint in some of our classes I thought this would be an interesting topic. Similar discussion has been known to cause quite caustic altercations between the best of friends amongst us when mixed with too much wine.

International Dinner Night
This is something a few of us have discussed for a while now and hopefully can get started this coming semester.
Since we have such a variety of international students in our program, we thought it would be a good idea to get together one evening a month to enjoy authentic food from each country. Each month a different country would be featured and the student(s) from that country would lead the cooking. We also plan to have wine/beer/or drink and, of course, music (chosen by the chef(s)) from the country. Here are the people who expressed interest in cooking:
-Lilly/Huiping – China
-Olga/Sasha – Russia
-Silva – Nepal
-Martha – Colombia
-Stephanie P. - Ecuador
-Wendy - A yummy all-American vegan meal - I will find something that you
have never had before!
If there is anyone else interested in sharing a specific country's cuisine let me know!
We all plan to pitch in money to cover the ingredients of the meal. At the moment we plan on doing this one Sunday a month at my apartment. Even if you are not going to cook, everyone is welcome to come eat, drink and be merry!
As soon as the dates are determined I will post them here. Wendy

A New Year for the PPOL Blog!!
OK everyone, one of my New Year's resolutions is to post to our blog and help out Andy who has been posting alone with quiet determination (Thank you Mr. President). And while Andy's posts have been awesome, something is not quite working here. I am going to suggest that we keep the more academic slant which Andy has strived for over the last year and a half as the primary focus but incorporate our more social and political sides.
Over the next few days I will try to do just that with new postings and new headings (if Andy doesn't kick me off first).
Hope everyone is having a wonderful break! (It snowed in Asheville!!)
Good luck to all taking preliminaries the first week in January!
Cheers and Peace, Wendy
