The menu was wide-ranging, and featured a couple of repeats from last year:
- 
Hors d’oeuvres: Mixed olives and peppers, Camembert and paglierina with fig chutney and peach chutney, nachos with cheddar and bacon onion relish
- Soup: Butternut squash with pear, port & thyme conserve
- Salad: Pickled baby artichokes on mixed greens
- Greens: Crispy kale with jalapeno hot pepper jelly
- Bread: Cheese sticks
- Entrée: Chateaubriand
- Dessert: Vanilla ice cream, coconut non-dairy ice cream, regular and brandied peaches with whipped cream, miniature pie shells filled with an assortment of preserves (peach chutney, quince butter, povidle, sweet tomato, and 
orange curd) and honey with mixed nuts and saffron
- After-dinner drinks: pear-infuse
d vodka steeped with vanilla and sugar
The only unhappy creatures were the four
dogs who had to wait outside while we dined inside. :)
Buon appetito tutti - here's to the next one!

wow, was the food ever good. and what a great evening. A wonderful cast of characters for our stories of 2010. Beginning with bringing the garden back from dormancy - the picks and shovels and wheelbarrows part of gardening. Continuing with the cheeses and chutneys. And then on to dinner! Thanks again for all your hard work!
