Introduction
A dinner of 26 courses? Can you do that? Of course, of course.But yes, I have an answer for everything. And you are going to get a taste of alittle bit of everything. In honor of Ron I really twisted my mind around what ispossible for a meal, well a virtual meal.The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and this we cannot eat,but we could, if we wanted to. Each of these dishes can be prepared by me andare in the repertoire prepared at my day job. The meal is planned out for an all-evening event and would be portioned out with great care so that even themost delicate of attendees would see all 26 courses in style.The title comes from the last line in my favorite Silliman poem, “The ChineseNotebook,” number 223.Enjoy,
Geoffrey Gatza
