U-2, You Too Can Have Dinner With All The Elements

What an incredible concert! As I was waiting for the concert to begin, I first was amazed by the staging and the creativity of the set - it had color, moving parts- impossible to describe. Then came Bono. Why do I think his incredible talent and presence on stage is one of the greatest of all time? He has substance- he cares about the crowd, he cares about those in Iran and throughout the world whose governments deny people freedom. The songs he sings have substance- look up the lyrics to Pride-One Man in the Name of Love, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Bono also sang Amazing Grace. These same elements make for incredible dinners! Be creative with your set- the table. Use color. Have a centerpiece. Light candles- have your own light show. Cooking co-op can help bring all the moving parts onto your table. Cooking co-op can also help your dinner to have substance- substantial quality. When you are cooking one night a week, you put extra effort into that meal vs. throwing something together at the last minute. Now multiply that by 4(4 is the perfect # for co-op cooking) and you have 4 dinners of substance. Play the music on low- it's a "Beautiful Day ".
