Last Thursday evening, we were invited by Oscar and Daniel to dinner in the faculty lounge of one of the buildings on the Folkhogskola campus. They knew that dinner wasn´t being served that evening by the school, so they kindly decided to host us themselves. This involved a lot of trouble on their part because they don´t have a car so they walked to town and purchased the items and then cooked and served them to us. The faculty lounge has a great kitchen and lovely setting to enjoy dinner. We had ground-moose meat meatballs with herbs and onions, roasted root vegetables including carrots and beets, and potatoes. For dessert - Greek yogurt with honey, nuts, and chocolate shavings. It was a delicious dinner featuring great food and enjoyable conversation. The moose meat balls were excellent and tasted just like ground beef but moose is much leaner.
Oscar, who has finished his 2 years at the Mullsjo Folkhogskola, and Daniel who has a masters in human geography, were both in the class David taught when he was here in January. Then they both came to Joplin, along with about a dozen other Folkhogskola students, and stayed at MSSU in April. We drove everyone, using both our cars and several trips, to a diner in Webb City one Sunday in April for breakfast.
Another dinner in the dorm was last night hosted by the students from MSSU who are here for the month. They collaborated on every aspect of the dinner including planning the menu, purchasing the items for it, cooking it and serving it in the student lounge of one of the dorms. The menu was spaghetti with a creamy tomato sauce, mushrooms (on the side because not everyone wanted mushroomsd) and garlic toast. David and I contributed a couple of beverages, not to be named because this campus doesn`t allow alcohol. The food was delicious and it was more fun because everyone participated.
