The Lloyd's Farm Table
The Season's Abundance from Jennie and her neighbor's yard arranged in baskets and dishes serve as the table's focal point.
The Featured Artisans
What exactly was on the menu you ask? Only locally grown or handcrafted food of course. Thank you Brent Morely for hooking us up with some pretty incredible whole fillet of beef. (I'm only sorry he was never photographed, with the task of cooking the meat for this crew, he was never sitting around.)
Homemade Mint Lemonade
Caprise Bruschetta with Homegrown Tomatoes, Sweet Basil & Mozzarella Balls
Blue Cheese, Roasted Potato, and Field Greens Salad with Lemon-Garlic Dressing
Chive, Parsley and Rosemary Rolls
Yellow Squash Gratin, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Filet of Beef with Gorgonzola & Onion Sauce
Berries, Peaches and Cream Pavlova
Jennie's gracious parting gifts - Homemade Basil Pesto
And then take a burlap bag and fill it with shared abundance from guests' gardens
My mouth is officially salivating. I am wishing I could have been there to share the abundance & am thinking it would be so fun to start a similar group here. But I could never, ever measure up. If I do start a group, I'll be the first to host & begin with something like hot dogs - keep the expectations low so there will be nowhere to go but up the next time! Love love love the pics & ideas.
ReplyDeleteI was there! Oh, it was so magnificent!! I was just telling everyone who met me for lunch today about the fantastic dream dinner group. . . . and then I was trying to describe how amazing everything was. And now I have photos to refer them to. Thanks Aimee!
