Fri 14 Nov- Jacques Pepin Cooking Demonstration

Fri 14 Nov- highlight of today was a cooking demonstration by Jacques Pepin, one of Kiyomi's favorite cooks. Master Chef Pepin is the Oceania's executive chef, and has many 'signature' dishes available in the dining room. He is onboard for our transatlantic crossing, and today gave a demonstration that was packed with interested passengers. The link connects to the KQED website, where Jacques records his shows for PBS. You can get lots of information there, including recipes and future programs schedule. Afterwards, he autographed cookbooks that were eagerly snapped up. Kiyomi got three total, one for her, and one each for our children.
We enjoyed the Regatta String Quartet performances, then had another delicious meal, and the hardest part was choosing among all the interesting menu items (the next hardest part was eating everything - there was sooo much and an irresistible desert came just as you felt you could not eat another bite!) Afterwards we enjoyed the comedy and magic of Mark Worgan 'Unseen by millions'. It was fun, his magic seemed like it wasn't working, but at the end, to our surprise, everything came out right.
