Community Potluck

Stir Fried Beef Broccoli 

I attended a community potluck with my family a couple of days ago in Coquitlum. It was my kids' Royal Canadian Air Cadet League year end family get together which was the biggest assembly of international cuisines and culture I have ever got involved in. The venue for the potluck was in a school gymnasium somewhere near our home. In fact it was the same venue where they have their weekly air cadet meetings. The community really came out in full force to support this annual event.

Sweet and Sour Pork

There were at least three hundred people at the potluck. And we have desserts, cakes, sandwiches to specialty cuisines from different cultures. There were rice and noodle cuisines to Italian pastas. The parent sponsor committee which I am a part of had also contributed with Cantonese cuisines that were ordered from a local Chinese restaurant nearby. There were just a lot of food and at the end there were so much food left that we had to ask people to take the leftovers home.
