[Sca-cooks] 21 Balloons, was Cook's Night Out

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

Lots of good Greek places around, heck, we could eat our way around the
International City that is Atlanta.
Did you ever read a book called "21 Balloons"?  A turn-of-the-(last)-century
balloonist gets blown off course and ends up on Krakatoa (right before the
big bang), only to find 20 families there.  They each are named Family A,
Family B, C, etc, and each one cooks for everyone else one night in 20.  The
families have residences/dining halls that reflect their alphabetical
letter, A is an American Chop House, B is British food, C is Chinese, and so
on.  They dine their way around the island, until of course, the big one
blows, and then they balloon off to safety.  It is a juvinile-level book,
but I re-read it every so often because it's such a good read.
