Dinner With The Scientist

Me and my friends with Principal Avent, Ms. Araki and Mrs. Apaydin 

This year I was finally able to participate in "Dinner with a Scientist"; it was held at the Snow Building in the Oakland Zoo. Because there were so many kids participating, the event repeated for two more days.  First we toured the zoo and after we had dinner with three scientists that rotated through our table. One was Natasha Naidoo, another was Elizabeth Donald, Liz for short, and I got her signature. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the third scientist. Elizabeth Donald  is a Senior Scientist with the Clorox Company. Everyone got a souvenir program, inside is a short bio for Liz and the other scientists. Here is a quote from her bio: “Science is exciting because it constantly reveals new things about who we are and the universe around us.  The best part is that ANYONE can be a scientist!”  I agree also that anyone can be a scientist.

I have a puzzle for you, here is a copy of our dinner menu. Can you guess what we had for dinner? Put your answer in the comment box.
