MJ, Talking Turkey

For the last 9 years, Mary Jane has planned and implemented a meet and greet luncheon the day before Thanksgiving. The main attendee is our local US Rep Vern Ehlers, http://www.house.gov/ehlers/. The name of the luncheon, Talking Turkey.

Once again the luncheon went off brilliantly, here are a couple of pictures.

This is US Rep Vern Ehlers making a point during his address to the group.

This is the center piece and individual dessert/treat that MJ designed and put together. The little treat is a "de-constructed malo bar"; jelly bellies in marshmallow, chocolate, coconut and espresso (just for fun) accompanied by pistachios and a chocolate turkey candy. Very fussy, time consuming, (130 guests) but fun for a change. We did white chocolate wishbones last year.

This is our dinner, Stouffler's lasagna.
Smells great in here right now.
