Team Chef Party

So I had some kids from my Home Ec. class over tonight. Six to be exact. Two boys and four girls. They were divided into two teams and it ended up being the boys versus the girls. Each team had to cook an appetizer, main dish and dessert. The boys made toasted ravioli, chicken lasagna alfredo with tomato basil garnish on the side, and tirimisu brownie sqares. The girls made a mexican bean dip, mexican chicken on a bed of rice and sopaipillas with ice cream. They were judged on taste, presentation and overall menu. Steve and two other teachers from school were the judges. In taste, the boys won. Their ravioli was a favorite among the judges. In presentation, the girls won. They plated everything on matching plates and did a fantastic job with the dessert. It looked very fancy. In overall menu, the boys won. The judges said that while the girls dishes were good, they were simple and convenient meals that could be made at home. They said the boys dishes were more like a menu at a restaurant. The boys were very pleased. After spending a while finding out out wii fitness ages, everyone is now gone and I am pooped. It was definitely a fun party and something I would consider doing again.
