It's that time of the month again already for our monthly village dinner. This month the theme was Switzerland. The food and decor were hints of Switzerland but the guest speaker spoke about his travels through the Western Front War Cemeteries.
One of our local councillors was invited to say a few words.
The menu was alternate drop Chicken Thigh with Fondue Cheese Sauce, Potato Rosti and Vegetables
OR
Pork Loin with Yoghurt Cheese, Pickled Beetroot and Daikon, Potao Rosti and Vegetables.
It was the last time these students will wait on us as the school year comes to an end and these lovely young people have to sit their final exams soon. They have had a tough year with Covid Lockdown for three months.
Well that was nice for your husband to have Swiss food, it looks all very beautiful prepared and served!
ReplyDeleteAs always the foodva these special events looks amazing. They must take a lot of planning and preparation. Did Bill feel like contributing to the talk?
ReplyDeletei sit in amazement each time I see all of you together with out masked and the dread socil distance, it has been 7 months since i have seen that here. and no end in sight. you are blessed to be where you are and minus the dread virus... the food looks wonderfu
ReplyDeleteVery nice theme and food!
ReplyDeleteOur senior group can't meet as yet as we would all still have to take covid precautions. We are keeping in youch with a newsletter.
Looks like fun but I am amazed the the students waiting on you were not wearing masks. It has become a way of life here. Keep well t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really nice time was had
ReplyDeleteOh my, that food sounds and looks delicious. I agree, this year has been hard on students, so much stress on those so young.
ReplyDeleteI can think of someone who should have been chief menu advisor.
ReplyDeleteYou both are looking well and lovely.
ReplyDeleteSound an interesting time and it is great that the students can have hands on practice.
What a wonderful dinner and evening you had and a good experience for the students. The meal looks really good and I would have loved it too.
ReplyDeleteIf people in retirement residences would see what you have organized I think they would make a riot ! Nobody is allowed to visit them except one member of their families. They are like in prison, of course the personal tries to entertain them, but it is really sad. And as there are more restricted rules since yesterday, people start to protest especially young people. As the bars and cafés are closed in Brussels which is stupid because in some cases you just have to cross the street and there the bar is open ! More and more secret parties are organized ! Fortunately I live in Waterloo, which is rather peaceful ! I wonder what we are doing on Christmas ?? No way to see Toby for the moment, they are not allowed to come and I can't go there leaving Riccardo alone, he can't travel anymore ! He has lost so much weight, now he weighs 73 kg for 1.88 and looks like a Skeleton. Bill must have been happy to return to Switzerland for one evening !
ReplyDeleteI think you have a wonderful CEO Diane, she really organises lots of fun things for you guys. Your dessert looked so delicious.. I'm one of those people who think dessert is the best part of the meal 😊 stay safe ✨
ReplyDeleteOoh, that dessert! Everything was so lovely but I had a moment when I saw you sitting so close to a neighbor across the table, no masks. My stomach clenched with fear and then I remembered — no Covid in your state! Crazy, I know.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like another wonderful dinner. I'm sure the students gained much useful experience by helping out.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful evening, a wonderful dinner.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your photographs.
All the best Jan
Envious. No masking wearing anymore there I guess unlike here where our idiot president has made a real mess of the pandemic response. In his case no response. The retirement community we left to move to New Hampshire is still fairly closed down. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great dinner, the food looks delicious. Take care, enjoy your day!
My Goodness, your dinners look divine. How wonderful to have the students there. Good for you and good for them.
ReplyDeleteIts really nice that you can get together and make new friends also.
Sue
I hope Bill found the food to be authentic, it looks good either way.
ReplyDeleteYour dinners look so yummy and so FUN! Our retirement communities could take some lessons for sure!

You have the most wonderful gatherings and how nice for Bill! You all look so happy, I am very impressed with your neighborhood get-togethers.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy seeing the monthly dinners. They're so well presented and would provide a great opportunity for the catering students too. Lovely photos Diane!
ReplyDeleteAnother delightful looking and delicious get together from your photos, Diane. I admit to thinking that Bill was going to be the guest speaker when I read about the dinner's theme.
ReplyDeleteOh so yummy and such a nice thing to do! Did Bill help plan the menu? Glad it was safe for the high schoolers to come back to help.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to you posts and pictures of you village celebrations. It seems like a very fun place to live, and the food looks amazing.
