Last night was one for the books! 📚
This was our 3rd year of making and donating the meal served at Olive Motherhood Foundation’s Murder Mystery Fundraiser. And what an honor it truly is to be just a part of something so beautiful. ❤️
Let me tell you the story of this menu! This year’s theme was Wonderland Masquerade. 🎭
Watching every movie (again) for inspiration and design, let me take you down the rabbit hole with this wonderland of flavor! 🕳️🐇
With a starter of a tea sandwich duo:
Dill Cream Cheese & Cucumber on Rye
Cheddar Cheese & Strawberry Jam on White
-Tea party staples and a nod to the Card Guards-
🥒🧀🍓♠️♦️♣️♥️
For the main course:
Tart Cherry Compote on Roasted Turkey Breast
-Alice’s first tart flavors in Wonderland-
🍒🦃
Smoked Bacon & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
-Running into a ho**ah smoking caterpillar, Alice is told one side of the mushroom will make her larger and the other side smaller-
🐛🥓🍄🟫
Arugula & Wildflower Salad with Honey Crisp Apples, English Breakfast Radish, Farmer’s Cheese, & Orange Blossom Honey-Basil Vinaigrette
-then, Alice finds herself in a garden surrounded by singing wildflowers-
🌹🪻🌷🌻🌿🍎🍊
Bread & Butterfly
-in the garden, they flutter by-
🍞🧈🦋
400 hand-cut sandwiches, over 200 plated entrees, a few hard working kitchen staff, all of the wonderful volunteers and workers of the event, a completely sold out venue, and this 1 amazing community. ✨
From this mother to all- we are the village. 🤍
