Lugano International / Gold & Pioneer Event, 31-MAY to 4-JUN-2006
part 2: Risottival!Around noon, we arrived at the Ristorante Funivia, beautifully situated above the Lago di Lugano. It was time for a cooking event, called Risottival! Lunch was to be prepared by us club members...
At the entrance, everybody received a
special Risottival apron, a chef's cap, and a huge (78cm!) wooden spoon
with a special engravure:

Swatchy June...

And Paco ... is Paco! (please compare this picture

The result of our cooking activities
tasted quite will, so we were excellent prepared for the rest of the
day. But we still had one more hour to relax...
