This was our last Gourmet Club meal for this year and it was hosted by John and Sue Hawn. We had our first course, the Fennel and Parmesan in their garden area, outside, but the rest of the meal was in the dining room.

Historical Archive
Over the last 15 years I have kept a copy of all the menus. When I reviewed them not long ago I found, to my horror, that I was missing 4 of them. Luckily, Sue Hawn has also been saving them and she had 3 of the 4 that I was missing. The fourth one is lost forever because it was presented on a chalk board and no one thought to take a picture of it. I also discovered that I had one of the missing ones but because of a date mixup, I looked for it in the wrong place. So, with all the menus in hand, I scanned them and put them into book form with a table of contents and complete index. A valuable resource for the future. I have it as an Adobe Acrobat file (PDF) so if any of my visitors would like to have a copy of it, it is available. It’s about 17 megs so it would be a pretty big download. If you have a high speed connection, it wouldn’t be so bad. I could send it as an attachment, otherwise, I could come up with some other way.
Looks yummy as usual! My mom and I want to do one of these but, Alas we have no friends except each other (and other family that lives here. One group of which would be to picky (no Lisa you are not the one I am considering picky. Although you are as picky as I AM so probaly all in all or meals would not be to gourmet!).

I am impressed by the ratio of people to bottles of wine! Of course the food all looks scrumptious.
wine to person ratio seems about right to me!
electrons are cheap! from now on, let’s have a full sized picture of each course. also, is there a seperate file with the recipes?
sorry about the excess, my computer had a slight weapons malfunction
Well ok Jess, I am pretty picky. How about a “Plain, White, or Vanilla” club?
