The A-Team Cooks up Another Big Win!
Cambridge must hate us!! We’re now 2 and 0 against both Cambridge and Medford in our year-long quest for victory in Season Two of the Energy Smackdown! The last Team Challenge - the Locavore Banquet - was a close one. The dishes were all outstanding, and I think we were all in agreement that it was no foregone conclusion who would win.
Based on the trivia scavenger hunt at the event, we learned that we had 2 of the most carbon-intensive dishes, which did not bode well. Cambridge had that beautiful hot pink sauce…and Medford had a very nice homemade red wine. But I guess somehow we had the right stuff. It helped that Elizabeth’s raspberry sherbet in homemade petite cones dipped in dark chocolate won Best Individual Dish. That surely pushed us over the edge to victory, in spite of the heavy cream laced with carbon…
So three cheers for the A-Team. Let’s set our sights on getting the team up to 500 households!!
