Memory Recipe 

(10 Points Participation PLUS up to 50 points extra credit)

• Culture is important.
• A big part of culture is sharing a meal.
• A big part of the transmission of culture and socialization is learning our cultural recipes from our elders.
• You probably have some fond memories growing up about learning how to make these dishes.
• What kind of culture do we want to maintain for ourselves and cultivate for the future in an age of fast food, microwave dinners, food delivery, etc.? 
• What have we lost by passively going along with the times? 
• Is it important to reclaim these traditions?

YOU will bring and share a cultural dish from your culture that specifically evokes a specific memory from your childhood.
