Marianne's brainwave

hi folks--marianne called me with a brainwave--we frequently have mass brainwaves together and this was her latest. i think its a wonderful idea. she was looking online at a seed catalog that had a ton of really neat recipes using garden produce. this is totally up marianne's alley, so she decided she wants to do a dinner party and try these recipes out. so here is what we came up with--for our september meeting, we will do a garden harvest dinner. not sure of the place yet--probably either at our house or mariannes. we will set up big tables and eat outside. all of the food MUST contain something you grew in your garden. marianne wants to try a lot of these recipes, so she will do the bulk of the food, but please plan to contribute one dish of your own. if you absolutely can't think of anything--bring something to drink or something to decorate the table. marianne has volunteered to uncork some of her homemade wine as well, so we can all have a taste. i think this is a wonderful idea, and very much a product of her personality. and send me the recipe for your contribution ahead of time, so i can put them all in a word doc and pass them out. sound like fun? input or ideas on this topic, let me know! fearless
