Food and Politics

On the left is our fabulous teacher Angela and on the right is beautiful Yoona. Angela is an anthropologist and our resident southerner (from Tennessee)--she speaks with a charming southern accent (her voice is very soothing) and is an expert on all things southern, including coca cola cake and other unique southern specialties. The reason we like Angela so much is that she's incredibly nice but she's also funny and she's a strong southern woman--and she's a Hillary supporter! (I hope I can say that)--currently we Americans are enduring the election process for a new president and some of us (me included) would like to see a woman president. Now on a more important note, Angela just returned from a trip to Tennessee--she brought back Moon pies (chocolate marshmallow cakes) and Goo Goo bars (according to Angela, goo goo bars were the first combination candy bar in the United States)...I have to say the goo goo bars were out of this world--caramel, pecans, and marshmallow cream covered in chocolate. Fabulous. And then yesterday Angela brought in chocolate truffles...you can see the truffles in the picture (on the table). Thank you Angela for feeding us!
