Every now and then the moons align. Not often. Maybe once in a blue moon. They did last week when a good mate asked if I'd like to join his staff in a bonding session at Cooking For Blokes in Sydney. He explained this would be a great chance to meet the team before I do some work with them next month. And, he pointed out, the bonding was going to take place at a cooking school. (He knows my passion for cooking.) AND the group would be preparing Mexican food (and after living there for 2 years, I'm pretty fond of Mexican food). So last Thursday I joined about 25 others as they whipped up fresh tortillas, baked fish, guacamole, pico de gallo salsa and chorizo. Maybe it's the influence of the incredibly popular Masterchef series here, but there seemed to be more care than usual in plating up. By the end of the 3 hours, bonding was complete - maybe aided by the dozens of Coronas and glasses of wine that accompanied the cooking class. A great and novel way to build a team - and a complete change from other 'bonding' activities like paintball, which seems to be anti-social.
