Job with a View

I was very lucky to spend this last weekend working.  Yes, I said I was lucky to be working!!!  In fact I had a great weekend alongside my good friend, Sue, serving up meals to a group of seven guys who have been friends for over 30 years!  We spent many hours in an amazing home literally sitting on the hillside over Lake Tahoe feeding and getting to know our clients - one who has even won six Emmy awards!! 

Our weekend meals were eaten with gusto and included:

Breakfasts:
*Herb-Parmesan biscuit sandwiches with scrambled eggs, pepper jack cheese, and Canadian bacon and fresh fruit. 
*Sausage-Mushroom Strata with fresh fruit.
*Buttermilk Waffles and Strawberries with bacon and sausage and fresh fruit. 

Lunches:
*Pulled Pork Sliders with Creamy Coleslaw and Salt & Pepper Kettle Chips. 
*California Chicken Club Wrap and corn tortilla chips with fresh pico de gallo and guacamole.

Dinners:
*Assorted meats, cheeses, and rolls with classic potato salad and assorted olives and peppers.
*Grilled Ribeye steaks, Twice-Baked Potatoes, Grilled Corn with herb butter, and mixed green salad. 
*Pancetta-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, Green Beans with browned butter and toasted almonds, Herb-Lemon Orzo Salad, and Caprese Salad with Heirloom tomatoes.
Desserts:
*Chocolate-cherry cookies with vanilla bean ice cream, hot fudge sauce, and fresh cherries.
*Grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream, Snickerdoodles, and whipped cream.
*Banana splits with fresh strawberries, and assorted toppings.


The entire weekend was a success and enjoyed by all and Sue and I look forward to planning and cooking next year for this remarkable group of guys!
