December dinner

Our December meeting on the 9th was held at the Keswick Ridge Hall where enjoyed a catered buffet style dinner, provided by Leanne and Chef Rick from North Meets South Catering Group. 

Our dinner menu had a choice of meats: Green Curry Chicken or Maple Glazed Salmon Green Curry Chicken is not spicy. There was a curry sauce served on the side so we could individually spice it up a bit if we wish.

 Ingredients: chicken; peppers; baby corns: bamboo shoots; eggplant; lemongrass; galangla (which is in the ginger family and slightly sweet); kaffir lime leaves (which add a lemony taste); palm sugar (actual sugar from a coconut - milder sugar than our white sugar); cilantro roots; garlic; coconut milk.

 The rest of the menu:
 Sweet Jasmine Rice and/or Roasted Potatoes
Vegetable Medley
 Chocolate Brownie with Homemade Caramel Sauce and Real Whipped Cream Coffee and Tea with Milk, Cream and Sugar

 Note: All parts of the meal are made in their kitchen from fresh, local ingredients.

 We also had a great ticket auction.

Then we wrapped it up with Show and Tell.

And our mood board for the meeting:

November meeting & show and tell

For our November meeting, we had our provincial CQA rep, Bev Day, visit us and tell us all about membership benefits we might not have known about, and what the CQA does for both our guild and individual quilters.

Then it was time for show and tell.
