Back last October, our church had a massively successful (and entertaining) “Harvest Auction<\/a>,” a silent auction of this and that to raise money for our parish.<\/p>\n

One of the things that went was $115 for “five meals for four,” prepped in advance by Margie. The winner finally arranged for delivery of same, so Margie is busy today (with my clumsy assistance) cooking and packaging five meals for four people — entree, starch, veggie, salad, dessert.<\/p>\n

Keep Margie in your thoughts this evening. I’ll be on up-in-the-morning Kitten Watch again tomorrow — the least I can do — and I expect it will be a late night for her.<\/p>\n

UPDATE (9:30p): The woman is a gourmet-cooking machine. She’s pretty much done with everything except for some last-minute prep for the stuff for dinner tomorrow night (when we deliver the other meals for the rest of the week). Amazing, but it shouldn’t be surprising. Margie rocks.
\nThey are going to be very well fed, I can assure you. <\/p>\n

UPDATE: The menu:<\/p>\n

Meal 1: Roast Mahogany Chicken; Mixed Roast Root Vegetables with Garlic; Sage Grilled Zucchinis; Summer Berry Pie.<\/p>\n

Meal 2: Individual Gourmet Pizzas; Caesar Salad; Angel Food Cake with Red Wine Peach Sauce.<\/p>\n

Meal 3: Whiskey Glazed Spareribs; Parmesan Mashed Potatoes; Country Cole Slaw with Buttermilk Dressing; Sour Cream Pound Cake.<\/p>\n

Meal 4: Classic Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf with Italian Tomato Sauce; Au Gratin Potatoes; Pesto Spinich; Spiced Apple Cake.<\/p>\n

Meal 5: Roast Pork Chops with Raisin Apricot Sauce; German Red Cabbage with Red Wine, Apples and Onion; Macaroni Monterey with Cheesy Sour Cream Sauce; Rum Rasin Cake with Brown Sugar Rum Glaze.<\/p>\n

Yum!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
