Hi John!
Thanks for the "more appropriate" (IMHO )options for our Monday night dinner! My personal
favorite app would be the shrimp/ Grilled pineapple salsa but all are fine with me. My personal fave soup would be your
Gazpacho- but since we are not having a green veg, then either one of the spinach or broccoli soups would be great too..Mulligatawny,
Onion and Lentil sound a little bit heavy ( maybe that's just me? ), but count me in ( it's not as if I don't I love
them )... - if the ladies choose one of those- all are fine with me. Naturally I'm looking forward to the Beef and Potatoes
and... Profiteroles. In other words, I will go as the crowd votes with no problem at all. I don't think we can go wrong
with any dish you make as you are a rockstar in the kitchen! I was sooo impressed with that huge meal from Onion soup
through Bananas Foster with no prep!!
Thanks again John- looking forward to Monday,
Christy
Thank you so much for being a great teacher. You are very patient and thoughtful. I've learned a lot in your
classes

Hi John,
Thank
you sooooo much for a delightful evening last night. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. You really outdid yourself.
I’m sorry we talked so much and kept you late. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband was expecting
leftovers but I cleaned my plate so he was out-of-luck. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow for the vegetable carving class. Janet B.
