It was our special second annual Valentine's Dinner at Grace Episcopal Saturday night. Over three dozen people were served in style, including by that blur of a waiter you see, Benjamin Strait.
The theme was Italian, with spaghetti and lasagna served. The delicious spaghetti sauce was prepared the couple at the center of this picture, James and Selina Pinckney. The lasagna was prepared by Alison Strait.
We were serenaded by beautiful musical accompaniment, featuring the piano and vocal talents of our choir director, Mike Taylor. Play it again, Mike!
The dessert was prepared by Jennifer Strickland, chocolate raspberry cake. People raved about how good it was. I did not get to try it, as I am in the middle of phase one of the DASH diet that allows for no fruit or grains for two weeks. So I basically had salad and spaghetti/lasagna sauce.
Pictured above is some of the kitchen staff, starting from the left with Audrey Jernigan, Brandy Holland, some lost looking guy named me, Alison Strait and Carlie Holland. Not pictured because they were too darn busy to pose for a picture were Donald Holland, Lillie Holland and Benjamin Strait.
It was a fantastic, romantic event, and I look forward to the third one next year, when hopefully I won't still be on Phase One of DASH.
