Family Dinner #001

Sunday, June 10

Chefs: Josh & Mark

Menu: 

Pasta Carbonara

Garden Salad w/ homemade vinaigrette

Italian Bread

Strawberry Shortcake

And thus begins the Sunday Dinner Project. In our first episode, Josh and Mark take to the kitchen. As novice chefs (but expert dish washers) the gentlemen took on the task of pasta carbonara. So what if it's June? It was creamy and delicious. Peas, pancetta, cream! In short--yes. 


What is usually the typical crowd was also joined by Todd and Colleen. Todd is Josh & Molly's paternal uncle, an expert fisherman and a carpenter, and Colleen is a master gardener and loving soul in general. We were so lucky that they could be there for the inaugural dinner. 


The large crowd had Josh ever so slightly panicked that we might not have enough food and decided to make 3 boxes of spaghetti, which, as it turns out, is about 1 box too much for nine adults. The upside? The leftovers were delicious, too. 


In attendance: Jean, Sandy, Hugh, Todd, Colleen, Mark, Molly, Noah, Liam, Jen, Josh


Notes:


1) Nine adults = ~ 2 boxes of spaghetti
2) Garden salad has no particular recipe, but this one had large chunks of carrots, peppers, and cucumber.
