The past few weeks have been a wonderful introduction to Slow Food Saratoga. My onsite supervisor and Slow Food board member is Arielle. She is a Skidmmore College alum and currently runs her own business. I am also working with another intern Kayleigh; she is a sophmore at Skimore College and is pursuing a dregree in sociology.

In late January, Arielle and the Slow Food Saratoga board of directors invited Kayleigh and I to a "Slow Food Dinner." It was held at Hatties, a local restaurant in downtown Saratoga Springs, that is know for its Southern cuisine. It was nice to get to know everyone a little better and to share some delicious food. The slow food benefits bring like-minded people together and also promote local venues. Arielle, Kayleigh and I also had a chance to outline our expectations for the internship.
