Up North on the Cooking Team!

August 12th, 2008

The creative department of the advertising agency I work for just took a trip up to northern Minnesota right by Lutsen and Tofte on Lake Superior at Bluefin Bay. Friday – Sun. It was a blast! It was great to experience the area I grew up in with people who had never been there before. The lucky folks in my car got the low down on the local news in the area.

But to top it off, I got to be part of the Cooking Team for the weekend. Holla! We ate like queens and kings. Feeding 23 people for an entire weekend is no small feat. Thankfully there were 4 of us taking care of everyone.
