Every year our church has a special Valentine's dinner put on by the Youth Sunday School class. Thanks to Sarah Rollison and others, our parish hall is turned into a very romantic and swanky place, the perfect ambiance for a special Valentine dinner.
Everyone enjoyed either Baked Ziti (prepared by Alison Strait) or Broccoli Bowtie Alfredo (prepared by Brandi Holland), and some clever few took a Tour of Italy and got both! The Artisan salad was prepared by Audrey Jernigan, garlic bread prepared by Jeris Tyre, and there was a Chocolate Raspberry cake prepared by Jennifer Strickland. Drinks included sweet and unsweet tea, coffee, water and wine.
Here we see Brandi Holland at the Kitchen prep table and Alison Strait at the stove busily preparing their signature dishes. My self assigned job was to aggressively and constantly taste everything, and I put on the extra pounds this weekend that proved I did my job well.
The talented and polite waiting staff consisted of Carli Holland and Benjamin Strait, seated here, ready to enjoy their own dinner after making sure everyone else was served and satisfied. Lilly Holland greeted guests, taking their tickets and helping them get seated. In the background, Mike Taylor was at the piano, serenading guests with romantic music.
Grace Episcopal is blessed to have the VERY best way to celebrate a Valentine's evening. Maybe next year you can join us too! (Do remember about the Tour of Italy!)
