Souull FOOD!

Finally!

 Soul Food Night is always a very anticipated event at Whitman. Check out last year's pio coverage on the event by clicking here.

The menu was delicious, thanks to Bon Appetit, and we can honestly say it was a smashing success. In keeping with last year, we wanted to have topics that would sprout discussion. Sarah Deming ans Olivia Ware took the lead on this , printing out many quotes  and thoughts on food, and posted them in eye-catching areas all over Prentiss Dining Hall.

This of course got people talking (and eating)! about the scrumptious food they had waited so long for. And the jazz playlist put together by our own Yonas and Nick helped to liven up the mood. Even the basketball players were singing along!

Favorites on the menu included the delectable banana cream pie, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, greens, cornbread, grits, biscuits, and the sweet potato pie, of course!

Mmmm, pie....

Yumm, yumm!

How could I forget the macaroni and cheese? It was by far the best I've ever tasted. 

And I'm not the only one with this opinion: hungry students were lining up with their tupperware to take food home and save for later!

Sarah knew all about this and came prepared: "I wore tight jeans so I wouldn't eat so much! Let's hope it works!" she gushed.

But good food is not all people came for; everyone also enjoyed the bonding moments and good conversation!

Us, smiling for the camera!

It was a nice chance for us BSU members to catch up with one another over good food, have good conversation,  and for once to enjoy the product of all our hard work.

It's not a time we will soon forget.

And so together we cheered, laughed and wrapped up a successful Black History Month. Here's to hoping yours was as good as ours!

Love,
