As I said in the clip, cooking and eating is serious business here. The more than a dozen women working to feed about 40 of us two meals a day for three days, labored continuously from sun up to later than 1:00am for the entire 3 days. I’ve seen the chaos and calamity when an American family gets together to cook in the kitchen over a holiday. These women were the picture of efficiency, a well-oiled machine and from what I could figure out no one was in charge. They all seem to know their individual assignments, what to do, and when to do it. I’ve never seen such a tremendous amount of work look so effortless.
