    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Dress Code:</strong> Let your style shine! Dress up in retro-inspired glam, or just add a golden touch. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Outfit Inspiration:</strong> </div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Classic 70s Vibes: Bell bottoms, wide lapel blazers, jumpsuits, fringe, psychedelic prints </li>
    <li>Disco Chic: Metallics, sequins, gold accessories, platform shoes, wrap dresses </li>
    <li>Modern Twist: Black jeans with a gold top, simple dress with chunky jewelry, gold-rimmed sunglasses </li>
    <li>Accessorize: Sunglasses, gold chains, bangles, bandanas, or a funky hat Inclusive </li>
    </ul>
    <div>
    <strong>Style Tips:</strong> </div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable - there’s no pressure for full costume  </li>
    <li>Mix a retro piece with your regular wardrobe for a subtle but stylish nod to the theme  </li>
    <li>Don’t have 70s gear? A splash of gold or a bold print is more than enough to groove with us!</li>
    </ul>

<Title>Retriever Essentials UMBC Cookbook</Title>
<Tagline>Flavors that inspire, recipes to admire. It's finally here!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The moment we've all been waiting for, a whole year in the making, in all its beauty and glory, the Retriever Essentials Cookbook has arrived!<div><br></div>
    <div>Before we continue, we'd like to give our appreciation to everyone who've helped us make this dream project a reality. Students and faculty who submitted recipes, partnerships that helped us grow and expand throughout the UMBC community, commonvision putting time and effort making such an amazing design with organizing all the recipes and pictures, and so much more. Although the cookbook was initiated and managed by Michael since fall of 202, this was a whole community effort, and we're just as excited as you guys to finally see it!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This cookbook has 75 pages featuring 44 heartfelt recipes, infused with love and passion with flavors all over the world! In addition, we provided recipes that can be made with common Retriever Essentials ingredients that we have in our pantry and can also be commonly seen at our Free Farmer's Markets!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>While we plan on doing a release of the cookbook for purchase in the very near future, <u><strong>w</strong></u><u><strong>e are not selling them at the essentials space, the free farmers market, or anywhere as of right now<em>.</em></strong></u> However, there will be a second posting about all of the information (date, time, place, etc.) in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Not in regards to the cookbook, but if you or anyone you know would like to donate whether that be food items like cans, snacks, etc., or even donate your time, feel free to reach out to us at <a href="mailto:retrieveressentials@umbc.edu">retrieveressentials@umbc.edu</a>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Again, we express our sincerest thanks to the UMBC Community, and we'll continue to do our utmost best in battling food insecurity.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>All the best,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Retriever Essentials Team </div>
