I  was  at  a  dinner  event  this  week  ZLWK DERXW SHRSOH :H JDWKHUHG around  a  large  table.  As  often  hap pens,  there  were  several  conversations  going  on  during  the  meal,  and  then  again  after  the  meal  as  we  mingled  in  different  groups  as  guests  slowly  rose  and  prepared  to  depart.  Two  of  the  conversations  I  took  part  in  were  prompted  by  very  different  topics  and  involved  different  people,  but  took  an  interesting  turn  toward  a  common  theme. 7KH ÂżUVW FRQ versation  started  out  about  college  dining  hall  food,  but  became  about  food  and  meals  and  cooking  more  generally.  One  of  the  young  women  at  the  table  got  our  at tention  when  she  announced  that  she  remembered  her  favorite  meal  of  all  time.   I  was  curious  what  it  would  be.  A  meal  at  a  famous  restaurant,  per haps?  Or  some  unique  cuisine  in  an other  country?  Or,  with  Thanksgiving  quickly  approaching  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  thinking  about  my  own  wonderful  memories  of  family  Thanksgiving  gatherings  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  I  wondered  if  perhaps  her  memory  was  of  a  family  gathering.  All  three  guesses  were  wide  of  the  mark,  and  her  story  took  me  by  sur prise. The  meal  did  take  place  on  a  differ ent  continent,  but  that  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  the  main  point.  If  I  heard  correctly,  it  was  while  she  was  on  an  outdoor  adventure  and  leadership  program  in  a  mountainous  country.  It  might  have  been  in  the  An des.  What  I  heard  clearly,  though,  was  that  the  meal  was  sheep  stew.   Mutton.  And  what  made  it  memorable  was  not  WKH Ă&#x20AC;DYRU RI VWHZ LQ SDUWLFXODU RU DQ\ MOUNT  ABRAHAM  UNION  High  School  junior  Ernesta  McIntosh  is  the  Addison  Independent  2015  Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  (See  Dickerson,  Page  3B) +LJK 6FKRRO 6RFFHU 3OD\HU RI WKH <HDU ,QGHSHQGHQW ÂżOH SKRWR 7UHQW &DPSEHOO
