Taste of Jefferson

Our church has just published their first cook book in 20 years.  I was on the cook book committee and helped choose the name "A Taste of Jefferson".  To launch our new cook book we decided to have a taste testing event.  We asked recipe contributors to make their favorite dish and we sold $2.00 tickets.  Not knowing how many people were going to show up, we made sure we had plenty of goodies prepared.

Getting things dished into little cups was the hardest part.  Once the hot food sat out for a while, they weren't so tasty anymore.

We had a steady crowd for the two hours we were opened.  One couple had driven all the way from Charlotte and arrived two hours early.

I prepared hubby's famous spaghetti and meat sauce recipe that took over four hours to create.  I ended up bringing 90% of it back home, but it was safe to still eat as I kept it hot in a crock pot. I also made Fudge Truffle Cheesecake. Yum.  I will include the recipe in my next post.

Everyone that came had a great time.  They all said they enjoyed each and every dish they tried.  We made over $500.00 in sales and we were exhausted by the time we had cleaned up and gone home.

There are still plenty of books left if you want one!
