The special of the day was fine food and fun as Sharon Fjordbak ’86 (left) and Judi Baker tried their hand at fried squash blossoms. At the SMU-in-Taos Cultural Institute, the duo attended a Southwestern cuisine class, one of several new offerings in summer 2009. The 2010 Cultural Institute weekend will be July 22-25. Courses ranging from the history and culture of the Southwest to outdoor adventure will be announced in January.
