Ramsey/Kohn House

We had our House make grilled cheese sandwiches during the October Long House. Students traded half-sandwiches and shared with each other how they like to cook them (the raging debate was mayo or butter to toast the bread), what their favorite cheese and sides were, and how to prepare a lactose-free, gluten-free, or vegan grilled cheese (we had options for those students).

It helped our House build community, experience each other's preferences and favorites, and integrate expert ideas (Chef Jaz) into tried and true personal favorites. It also created an environment where advisees had to communicate with each other authentically about what is good, what is hot, who is cooking what and how to clean up a communal mess.
