Barre Masonic Lodge Jan 10, 2014
We had two servers, and Gary and Steve assisted me, and Holliday for a while.
We had to add a course when the toasting got behind the eating: a “kitchen sink ” cole slaw made with extra items from other courses and some veggies I was going to make into a simple slaw to go with the lamb and yam- apples, beans and corn, carrots, fresh dill, raisins, maple/cider dressing
Same as 2013, but some modifications if I recall:
Lobster stock for Black Bean soup
No cinnamon on apples, added some pear slices
Added Kitchen Sink Cole Slaw
Added a dark bread with the lamb and yam.
