This year's surprise event was cooking classes in the North End at Taranta! We broke up into four teams for our four courses: Caprese Salad, Pasta, Chicken &amp; Pork, and Tiramisu, and our teams had to go on a scavenger hunt in the North End to find all of the ingredients. After accomplishing that we headed back to the restaurant for the main dish: cooking! After learning about all of the different techniques for our respective courses (and preparing them!) we got to sit down and enjoy the meal we all helped create. Thanks to our friends at <a href="https://www.tarantarist.com/">Taranta</a> for such an incredible day. Scroll down below for pictures of all the fun we had!</p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/img_9805.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 900px;" /></p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/img_1721.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 900px;" /></p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/img_0142.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 900px;" /></p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/img_0149.jpg" style="width: 900px; height: 1200px;" /></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/explore-lda/list/fun-day-2017">Fun Day 2017</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/explore-lda/list/office-events">Office Events</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/explore-lda/list/outings">Outings</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/explore-lda/list/inside-lda">Inside LDa</a></div></div></div> Sun, 01 Oct 2017 13:10:18 +0000 LDa 2112 at https://www.lda-architects.com LDa Kayaking 2017 https://www.lda-architects.com/explore-lda/lda-kayaking-2017 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Last Friday, a bunch of LDa-ers traded their pens for paddles and headed out on the Charles for an afternoon of kayaking!
