The MN Cohorts

Loren

Loren has some mean cooking skills.  True to his hardcore vegan and extreme health oriented food mentality we once deep-fried a pepperoni Lean Pocket.  (Yes, that’s vegan and ultra-healthy!)

Mike

Back in Minnesota, Mike generously had Fayaz and me over once a month to his awesome kitchen for some great cooking, fantastic wine, and post-dinner cigars and scotch in the hut tub.   Every time I’m back I try to catch up over some fine culinary adventures.

Dave

Dave, another cohort in Minnesota.  Dave and I shared some of the most impressive improvisational kitchen problem solving.  Despite being a great planner he wasn’t always ready for the things my kitchen was missing.  (Like the time we realized I didn’t have a  food processor, but did have two potatoes mashers, to make the red pepper sauce for a roast we were cooking.)

Rick

Rick is the master MacGyver chef.  Back in Minnesota we pulled a lot of late night meals out of a seemingly desolate kitchen.
