Why is vanilla pudding yellow?

It turns out that "Dinner With The Coaches" is much more than a team bonding experience. It is educational as well. For example, last week we learned the answer to the age old question "why is vanilla pudding yellow?" According to food expert Krista Messer the answer is "because it is not chocolate." Wow! With answers like that it is not hard to figure out why the Princeton Review ranks Cal State Stanislaus in the Top 15% of colleges nationally.

Here is a recap of last week's DWTC:

Monday (Jade, Bri, Marissa + coaches)

Menu: steamed Edamame with salt & soy sauce, chicken egg rolls, veggie egg rolls, pot stickers, Kung Pow chicken, brownies.

Thursday (Lisa, Maryanne, Krista + coaches)

Menu: salad, fruit salad, spicy pasta, banana mush.

Game: Pictionary

Highlights:

• Bri's scrabble skills! Amazing!
  
• Jade knows how to use a knife. Those carrots never stood a chance.


• Krista not knowing what the word "noose" meant so instead drawing a "moose"


• Lisa's obsession with her spicy pasta. Recipe courtesy of Alex Vallee


• Maryanne's complicated fruit salad. Recipe: (1) buy any fruit, (2) chop fruit into bowl, (3) chill for at least 5 minutes....

• Casey helping a lot more...this week he steamed two bags of edamame AND made Shirley Temples.


• Sally, Gabe and Krista....the greatest pictionary team of all time!
